You sit at the outer rim of a Ferris Wheel that rotates 2 revolutions per minute (RPM). What would your rotational speed be if y

ou were instead clinging to a position halfway from the center to the outer rim. Be sure to provide at least 3 to 4 complete content related sentences and show any work needed to support your answer

Your rotational speed would still be the same. This is because all parts of the Ferris wheel rotate together. Your linear speed however would change. That is a function of radius. But the question is asking about rotational speed and that does not change in this situation

Answer:

The rotational speed will be the same

Explanation:

When there is a circular motion involved (as in this case with the Ferris Wheel), the rotational speed is defined as the ratio between the angle covered \Delta \theta and the time taken to cover that angle (\Delta t):

\omega = \frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}

Since all the points along a radius of the the Ferris Wheel rotates coherently, they cover the same angular distance in the same amount of time, so the rotational speed is always the same for every point of the Wheel. This means that if you change the distance by moving halfway from the centre, the rotational speed is still 2 revolutions per minutes, because a point halfway from the centre also covers 2 complete revolutions in a minute.

A metal block suspended from a spring balance is submerged in water. You observe that the block displaces 55 cm3 of water and th
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

8977.7 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3

Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.

Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block

Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g

                        = 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N

True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force

m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839

m = 0.4937 kg

Density of block = mass of block / volume of block

= \frac{0.4937}{55\times10^{-6}}

Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3

it is determined that a certain light wave has a wavelength of 3.012x10^-12 m. the light travels at 2.99x10^8 m/s. what is the f
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

9.93\times 10^{19}Hz

Explanation:

Speed of light is the product of its wavelength and frequency, expressed as

S=fw

Where s represent speed, f is frequency while w is wavelength

Making f the subject of the formula then

f=s/w

Substituting 2.99x10^8 m/s for s and 3.012x10^-12 m for w then

f=\frac {2.99\times 10^{8}}{3.012\times 10^{-12}}=9.926958831341\times 10^{19}\\f\approx 9.93\times 10^{19}Hz

Therefore, the frequency equals to 9.93\times 10^{19}Hz
