A passenger on a Ferris wheel moves in a vertical circle at a constant speed. Are the forces on her balanced?

C.  The force is a constant change,  because her position on the Ferris wheel will constantly change.  I believe this is the answer, but use sources to double check.  I might use different vocab. then your teachers.

<u>Answer:</u>

1) Distance traveled by bird = 403 meter

2)Average speed = 1.66 km /hour

3) Zcceleration = 2 m/s^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

1)  Distance traveled = Speed * Time taken = 31 * 13 = 403 meter.

2)  Average speed = Total distance covered / Time taken for that distance to cover.

    Total distance covered = 2+0.5+2.5 = 5 km

    Time taken = 3 hours

     Average speed = 5/3 = 1.66 km /hour

3)    Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity, so acceleration a = change in velocity/time.

  Change in velocity = 14 - 6 = 8 m/s

   Time = 4 seconds

   So acceleration = 8 / 4 = 2 m/s^2

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

g) If two cars A and B are moving with velocity 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr respectively in the same direction. What will be the relat
tester [92]

Explanation:

Here,

Velocity of A=60km/hr

Velocity of B=80km/hr

Now,

Relative velocity of B with respect to A in the same direction=Velocity of B - Velocity of A

=80km/hr-60km/hr

=20km/hr

Below is a circuit schematic of sources and resistors (Figure 3). VS = 10V , R1 = 100Ω, R2 = 50Ω, R3 = 25Ω, IS = 2A. Calculate t
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

V_3\approx 4.28\,\,V

I_1=0.0572\,\,amps

I_3\approx 0.171\,\,amps

Explanation:

Notice that this is a circuit with resistors R1 and R2 in parallel, connected to resistor R3 in series. It is what is called a parallel-series combination.

So we first find the equivalent resistance for the two resistors in parallel:

\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{50}\\\frac{1}{Re}= \frac{3}{100}\\Re=\frac{100}{3} \,\,\Omega

By knowing this, we can estimate the total current through the circuit,:

Vs=I\,*\,(\frac{100}{3} +25)\\10=I\,*\,\frac{175}{3} \\I=\frac{30}{175} \,amps

So approximately 0.17  amps

and therefore, we can estimate the voltage drop (V3) in R3 uisng Ohm's law:

V_3=\frac{30}{175} *\,25=\frac{30}{7} \approx 4.28\,\,V

So now we know that the potential drop across the parellel resistors must be:

10 V -  4.28 V = 5.72 V

and with this info, we can calculate the current through R1 using Ohm's Law:

I_1=\frac{V_1}{R_1} =\frac{5.72}{100} =0.0572\,\,amps
