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.

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>

Two wires with the same resistance have the same diameter but different lengths. If wire 1 has length L 1 and wire 2 has length
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Length of wire 1=L_1

Length of wire 2=L_2

Resistivity of copper wire=\rho_1=1.7\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m

Resistivity of aluminum wire=\rho_2=2.82\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m

Wire 1=Copper wire

Wire 2=Aluminum wire

Diameter of both wires are same and resistance of both wires are also same.

We know that

Resistance =\frac{\rho l}{A}

When diameter of wires are same then their cross section area are also same .

l=\frac{RA}{\rho}

When resistance and area are same then the length of wire depend upon the resistivity of wire .

The length of wire is inversely proportional to resistivity.

When resistivity is greater then the length of wire will be short and when the resistivity  is small then the length of wire will be large.

\rho_1

Therefore, L_1>L_2

Hence, the length of wire 1 (copper wire) is greater than the length of wire 2 (aluminum).

\frac{L_1}{L_2}=\frac{\frac{RA}{1.7\times 10^{-5}}}{\frac{RA}{2.82\times 10^{-5}}}=1.66

L_1=1.66L_2
