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 car traveling at 50 m/s uniformly accelerates to 60 m/s over an 58 second interval. What is the displacement?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

here u = 50m/s

v = 60m/s

t = 58 s

then a = (60-50)/58 m/s2

= 0.17m/s2

now s= ut+1/2at2

so , 50×58+0.5×0.17×(58)^2 m

= 3185.94 m

= 3.18 km

A mechanic changing the spark plugs in a car notes that the instruction manual calls for a torque with a magnitude of
Papessa [141]

The magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

<h3>Force exerted by the wrench</h3>

The force exerted by the wrench is calculated using torque formula as follows;

torque, τ = F x r x sinθ

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the perpendicular distance if force applied

F =  τ /(r sinθ)

F = (39) / (0.3 sin 60)

F = 150.1 N

Thus, the magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.
