The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which can

function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s).
(a) Find the speed of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate.
(b) A passenger weighs 882 N at the weight-guessing booth on the ground. What is his apparent weight at the highest and at the lowest point on the Ferris wheel?
(c) What would be the time for one revolution if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero?
(d) What then would be the passenger’s apparent weight at the lowest point?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) speed of passenger = circumference / time

= 2π R / Time

= 2 x 3.14 x 50 / 60

= 5.23 m /s

b )

centrifugal force = m v² /R

= (882 /9.8 ) x 5.23² / 50

= 77.47 N

Apparent weight at the highest point

real weight  - centrifugal force

= 882 - 77.47

= 804.53 N

Apparent weight at the lowest point

real weight  + centrifugal force

= 882 +77.47

= 959.47 N

c )  if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero

centrifugal force = weight

mv² /R = mg

v² = gR

= 9.8 X 50

v = 22.13 m /s

d )

apparent weight

mg - mv² / R

= 882 - (882 / 9.8 )x 22.13²/50

= 882 +  882

= 1764 N  

=

A circuit has a current of 1.2 A. If the voltage decreases to one third of its original amount while the resistance remains cons
Katen [24]
When resistance is constant, current is proportional to voltage. When 1/3 the voltage is applied, 1/3 the current will result.

(1/3)*(1.2 A) = 0.4 A

The resulting current will be 0.4 A.

A 72 kg skydiver can be modeled as a rectangular "box" with dimensions 21 cm × 41 cm × 170 cm . if he falls feet first, his drag
LuckyWell [14K]

Formula for terminal velocity is:


Vt = √(2mg/ρACd) 
<span>Vt = terminal velocity = ?
<span>m = mass of the falling object = 72 kg
<span>g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2
<span>Cd = drag coefficient = 0.80
<span>ρ = density of the fluid/gas = 1.2 kg/m^3</span>
<span>A = projected area of the object (feet first) = 0.21 m * 0.41 m = 0.0861 m^2

Therefore:</span></span></span></span></span>

Vt =  √(2 * 72 * 9.81 / 1.2 * 0.0861 * 0.80) 

<span>Vt = 130.73 m/s</span>

jeka94

Answer:

C. Decreasing the distance between the objects.

Explanation:

Gravitational force depends on mass and distance. The farther the objects are apart, the less gravitational force/pull they have.
