A person is riding on a Ferris wheel. When the wheel makes one complete turn, the net work done on the person by the gravitation

al force ____________.
Physics
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

0

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Vertical height from the ground

F = Force = Weight = mg

Net work done would be

W_n=W_{up}+W_{down}\\\Rightarrow W_n=Fdcos180+Fdcos0\\\Rightarrow W_n=-mgd+mgd\\\Rightarrow W_n=0

Hence, the work done on the person by the gravitational force is 0

A packet is dropped from a stationary helicopter, hovering at a height 'h' from the ground level, reaches the ground in 12s. Cal
Ksju [112]
Use kinematic equations to solve:

1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²

yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²

yf - yo = h

vo = 0

Thus,

h = 1/2at²

h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m

2) vf = vo + at

vo = 0

Thus,

vf = at

vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s

it takes 90 j of work to stretch a spring 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. How muc work is needed to stretch it an additiona
Vinvika [58]

Work needed: 720 J

Explanation:

The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position

In this problem, we have

E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)

x = 0.2 m (stretching)

Therefore, the spring constant is

k=\frac{2E}{x^2}=\frac{2(90)}{(0.2)^2}=4500 N/m

Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of

x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m

Substituting,

E'=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(4500)(0.6)^2=810 J

Therefore, the additional work needed is

\Delta E=E'-E=810-90=720 J

What will happen to the velocity and momentum of each ball when the small ball hits the heavier large ball?
kap26 [50]
Most of the momentum is transferred to the ball on top. Since the collision in this situation is elastic, momentum is conserved, meaning the momentum of both balls before hitting the floor is equal to the momentum of both balls right after the collision.

Select three different examples of accelerated motion. a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed a body travel
IrinaVladis [17]
This is the same question that I just answered.

Have present the definition of acceleration:

         a = Δv / Δt, this is change in velocity per unit of time.

a and v are in bold to mean that they are vectors.

1) a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed: CORRECT:

Acceleration is the change in velocity, either magnitude or direction or both. So, a body increasing in speed is accelerated.

2) a body traveling in a straight line and decreasing in speed: CORRECT

A decrease in speed is a change in velocity, so it means acceleration.

3) a body traveling in a straight line at constant speed: FALSE.

That body is not changing either direction or speed so its motion is not accelerated but uniform.

4) a body standing still : FALSE.

That body is not changind either direction or speed.

5) a body traveling at a constant speed and changing direction: CORRECT.

The change in direction means that the body is accelerated. The acceleration due to change in direction is named centripetal acceleration.
