A 60 kg adult and a 30kg child are passengers on a rotor ride at an amusement park as shown in the diagram above. When the rotat

ing hollow cylinder reaches a certain constant speed, v, the floor moves downward. Both passengers stay "pinned" against the wall of the rotor, as shown in the diagram below.
The magnitude of the frictional force between the adult and the wall of the spinning rotor is F. What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the child and the wall of the spinning rotor?

Answer:

 fr ’= ½ F

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the translational equilibrium equation, on the axis parallel to the wall

              fr - W = 0

              fr = W

for the adult man they indicate that the friction force is equal to F

              F = M g

we write the equilibrium equation for the child

             fr ’= w’

             fr ’= m g

in the statement they tell us that the mass of the adult is 2 times the mass of the child

             M = 2m

we substitute

            fr ’= M / 2 g

            fr ’= ½ Mg

we substitute

            fr ’= ½ F

therefore the force of friction in the child is half of the friction in the adult

What does Kepler's first law of planetary motion imply?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D.  The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.

According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.

Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.

Suppose the three resistors in the picture represents a 240 W
Airida [17]

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.
