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 horn emits a frequency of 1000 HZ. A 14 m/s wind is blowing toward a listener. What is the frequency of the sound heard by th
Semenov [28]

Answer:

 f_L = 1000 Hz

Explanation:

given,

speed of wind, = 14 m/s

frequency of horn,f_s = 1000 Hz

speed of sound,V = 344 m/s

frequency heard by the listener

using Doppler effect

f_L = \dfrac{v+v_L}{v+v_s}f_s

f_L is the frequency of the sound heard by the listener

f_s is the frequency of sound emitted by the listener

V is the speed of sound

v_L is the speed of listener

v_s is the speed of source

now,

considering the frame of reference in which wind is at rest now, both listener and the source will be moving at 14 m/s

 f_L = \dfrac{v+14}{v+14}\times 1000

now on solving we will get

 f_L = 1000 Hz

hence, the frequency heard by the listener is equal to  1000 Hz

?/1 Jorge traveled 5 miles north to school. He then traveled 3 miles west to the store. Then he left the store and traveled 5 mi
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

He's 3 miles west of school.

Explanation:

He went 5 miles up and 5 miles down which means that he really didn't go up or down.  In between that, he went 3 miles west so if the 5 milers don't count, this puts him at 3 miles west of school.

The direction that an induced current flows in a circuit is given by
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Lenz's law

Explanation:

it  states that induced emf  of  different polarities induces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the coil  in order to ensure that original flux is maintained through the coil  when current flows in it.

according to Faraday' s law of electromagnetic induction

Where -ve sign due to lenz's law

Emf is the induced voltage also known as electromotive force

N is the number of loops.

dϕ Change in magnetic flux.

dt Change in time.

How are a wave's energy and the wave's amplitude related?
dem82 [27]
Answer:
Energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude

Explanation:
The energy of a certain wave is defined using its magnitude.
The two quantities are related directly. This means that as the amplitude of the wave increases, its energy increases and vice versa.

Energy is directly proportional to the square of the magnitude of the wave. This means that:
If we have new amplitude = 2 * old amplitude
We will have new energy = (2)² * old energy = 4 * old energy

Hope this helps :)
