While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find th

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$v=3.47m/s$

Explanation:

The speed is by definition the distance traveled divided over the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case, this distance is the circumference of the wheel, so we have:

$v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi r}{t}$

where we have written the circumference in terms of its radius.

For our values we then obtain the value:

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{t}=\frac{2\pi (16m)}{(29s)}=3.47m/s$

A toy rocket is fired vertically into the air from the ground at an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. Find the time it wil

miskamm [114]

Answer: 16.3 seconds

Explanation: Given that the

Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s

Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.

Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.

At maximum height, V = 0

0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H

6400 = 19.62H

H = 6400/19.62

H = 326.2

Let's us second equation of motion to find time.

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,

U = 0. The equation will be reduced to

H = 1/2gt^2

326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2

326.2 = 4.905t^2

t^2 = 326.2/4.905

t = sqrt( 66.5 )

t = 8.15 seconds

The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.

That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds

What happens when you want to move the boat forward? You pull the oars toward yourself.Explain why you do this.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

You pull on the oars. By the third law, the oars push back on your hands, but that’s irrelevant to the motion of the boat. The other end of each oar (the blade) pushes against the water. By the third law, the water pushes back on the oars, pushing the boat forward.

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 33.0° above the horizon at 15.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas

Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the soccer ball, m = 0.425 kg

Speed of the ball, u = 15 m/s

Angle with horizontal, $\theta=33^{\circ}$

Time for which the player's foot is in contact with it, $\Delta t = 5.1\times 10^{-2}\ s$

Part A,

The x component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

$\Delta p_x=mv\ cos\theta$

$\Delta p_x=0.425\times 15\ cos(33)$

$p_x=5.34\ kg-m/s$

The y component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

$\Delta p_y=mv\ sin\theta$

$\Delta p_y=0.425\times 15\ sin(33)$

$p_y=3.47\ kg-m/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A gas exerts less pressure when it has a

Vika [28.1K]

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces.The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.
