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  

=

Answer: 4.

Explanation:

Use formula v = d / t, where v = speed, d = distance and t = time.

v = 10 / 2.5

v = 4.

How will the amount of power change if less work is done in more time?
yKpoI14uk [10]

The amount of power change if less work is done in more time"then the amount of power will decrease".

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The rate of performing any work or activity by transferring amount of energy per unit time is understood as power. The unit of power is watt

Power = \frac{Work}{Time}  

Here this equation showcase that power is directly proportional to the work but dependent upon time as time is inversely proportional to the power i.e as time increases power decreases and vice versa.

This can be understood from an instance, on moving a load up a flight of stairs, the similar amount of work is done, no matter how heavy but  when the work is done in a shorter period of time more power is required.

Temperature and pressure of a region upstream of a shockwave are 295 K and 1.01* 109 N/m². Just downstream the shockwave, the te
seraphim [82]

Answer:

change in internal energy 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy  5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Explanation:

adiabatic constant \gamma =1.4

specific heat is given as =\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}

gas constant =287 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

Cp = \frac{1.4*287}{1.4-1} = 1004.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

specific heat at constant volume

Cv = \frac{R}{\gamma -1} = \frac{287}{1.4-1} = 717.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

change in internal energy = Cv(T_2 -T_1)

                            \Delta U = 717.5 (800-295)  = 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy \Delta H = Cp(T_2 -T_1)

                                 \Delta H = 1004.5*(800-295) = 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy

\Delta S =Cp ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1}) -R*ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})

\Delta S =1004.5 ln(\frac{800}{295}) -287*ln(\frac{8.74*10^5}{1.01*10^5})

\Delta S = 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0m/s across a level table that is 1.0m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table it fo
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:0.58 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the ball is u = 2.0 m/s

The height of the table is, h = 1.0 m

The ball falls in vertical direction under acceleration due to gravity.

Time taken for ball to hit the floor:

h= ut + 0.5gt² ( from the equation of motion)

1.0 m=2.0 m/s × t+0.5 × 9.8 m/s²× t²

Solving this for t,

t = 0.29 s ( we have neglected the negative value of t)

In the same time, the ball would cover a horizontal distance of :

s = u t

⇒s = 2.0 m/s×0.29 s = 0.58 m

Thus, the landing spot is 0.58 m away from the table.

Light incident upon a pane of glass slows down in passing through the glass, Does it emerge at a slower speed or at its initial
Simora [160]

Answer:

It will emerge at its initial speed not a slower speed.

Explanation:

It will emerge at the initial speed because the medium at the point of emergence is the same as the medium before incidence.

Light moves at a constant speed in any particular medium. Hence, the speed of light in air is constant in air and the speed of light in glass is constant in glass.
