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

A body is thrown up with a velocity of 78.4 m per second.How high will it rise and how much time it will take to return to its p
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the body is 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is 8 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the body, u = 78.4 m/s

at maximum height (h) the final velocity of the body (v) = 0

The following equation is applied to determine the maximum height reached by the body;

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u²/2g

h = (78.4²) / (2 x 9.8)

h = 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is calculated as follows;

at maximum height, the final velocity becomes the initial velocity = 0

h = v + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

h =  ¹/₂gt²

2h = gt²

t² = 2h/g

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 313.6}{9.8} }\\\\t = 8 \ s

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.

An object has a mass of 30 grams and measures 3cmx2cmx1cm. What is the density of the object?
dimulka [17.4K]
The density of the object is the ratio of its mass and volume. From the given dimensions above, we determine the volume through the equation,

      V = L x W x H

Substituting,

    V = (3 cm)(2 cm)(1 cm) = 6 cm³

From the idea presented above,
    d = m/V

Substituting the known values,

   d = (30 g)/ (6 cm³) = 5 g/cm³

ANSWER: 5 g/cm³
