During their physics field trip to the amusement park, Leslie and Maria took a ride on the Whirligig. The Whirligig ride consist

s of long swings which spin in a circle at relatively high speeds. As part of their lab, Leslie and Maria estimate that the riders travel through a circle with a radius of 6.5 m and make one circle every 5.8 seconds. Determine the frequency, the period, the speed and acceleration of the riders on the Whirligig

Answer:

a) frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b) Period = 5.8 sec

c) speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

radius = 6.5m

time period = 5.8 sec every circle

a)  the frequency

frequency is the number of rotation in unit time

frequency = 1 / time period = 1/5.8

frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b)  the period

period is time taken in one rotation

period = total time / rotation = 5.8 / 1

Period = 5.8 sec

c)  the speed

speed = distance/time = circumference/time period = 2πr / t = (2π×6.5) / 5.8

speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration

To find the acceleration we take the linear velocity squared divided by the radius of the circle.

so

acceleration = v² / r = (7.04)² / 6.5 = 49.5616 / 6.5

acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol

A car is traveling with a velocity of 5.5 m/s and has a mass of 1200 kg. What is the kinetic energy?!
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h2>18150 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the Mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1200 \times  {5.5}^{2}  \\  = 600 \times 30.25

We have the final answer as

<h3>18150 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

An object is placed at O ona number line. It moves 3 units to the right, then 4 units to the left, and then 6 units to
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

You have a displacement of 5 units to the right.

Explanation:

First you go three to the right which lands on the 3 mark. Then you move it 4 to the left which substracts 4, landing the object at -1. Finally you move 6 to the right, and you finish at marker 5. Since displacement is not total distance but just final distance from the start point directly to end point, it is only a displacement of 5.
