Well, we don't know if it's the CLOSEST one, but it's closer than the other ones on this print-out.

There are actually three clues to this in the seismograms:

1). The waves from the tremor reach the Wink station first ... the P wave gets there 50 seconds before Chicago and 3 whole minutes before Tampa.

2). They are stronger (greater amplitude) at Wink than at Chicago or Tampa.

3). The delay between the P wave and the S wave is the smallest at Wink. This delay between the two waves grows as the detector is farther from the quake.

Unlike a roller coaster, the seats in a Ferris wheel swivel so that the rider is always seated upright. An 80-ft-diameter Ferris

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$F_A =425.42 \ N$

$F_A_H = 358.58 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the Ferris wheel is $d = 80 \ ft = \frac{80}{3.281} = 24.383$

The period of the Ferris wheel is $T = 24 \ s$

The mass of the passenger is $m_g = 40 \ kg$

The apparent weight of the passenger at the lowest point is mathematically represented as

$F_A_L = F_c + W$

Where $F_c$ is the centripetal force on the passenger, which is mathematically represented as

$F_c =m * r * w^2$

Where $w$ is the angular velocity which is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2* \pi }{T}$

substituting values

$w = \frac{2* 3.142 }{24}$

$w = 0.2618 \ rad/s$

and r is the radius which is evaluated as $r = \frac{d}{2}$

substituting values

$r = \frac{24.383}{2}$

$r = 12.19 \ ft$

$F_c = 40 * 12.19* (0.2618)^2$

$F_c = 33.42 \ N$

W is the weight which is mathematically represented as

$W = 40 * 9.8$

$W = 392 \ N$

$F_A = 33.42 + 392$

$F_A =425.42 \ N$

The apparent weight of the passenger at the highest point is mathematically represented as

$F_A_H = W- F_c$

substituting values

$F_A_H = 392 - 33.42$

$F_A_H = 358.58 \ N$

Which type of circuit is becoming more common in residential electrical design and construction?

jekas [21]

Communication circuit <em>(D)</em> is becoming more common in residential electrical design and construction.

LAN Ethernet cables, outlets, and even hubs and bridges, are being built into the walls of new homes, along with the usual electrical outlet wiring, to give the owner the networking infrastructure and internet access that everybody needs now ... without stringing a mess of cables on the floor and through doors all over the house.
