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  

=

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula
saul85 [17]
<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.

Answer:C

Explanation:All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.
