One of the world's largest Ferris wheels, the Cosmo Clock 21 with a radius of 50.0 m is located in Yokohama City, Japan. Each of

the sixty gondolas on the wheel takes 1.00 minute to complete one revolution when it is running at full speed. Note: Ignore gravitational effects. What is the centripetal acceleration of the gondola when the Ferris wheel is running at full speed

Answer:

a = 0.55 m / s²

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by the relation

         a = v² / r

angular and linear velocities are related

         v = w r

we substitute

          a = w² r

In the exercise they indicate the angular velocity w = 1 rev/min, let's reduce to the SI system

          w = 1 rev / min (2pi rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 0.105 rad/ s

let's calculate

          a = 0.105² 50.0

          a = 0.55 m / s²

Classify each possible hypothesis about a medicinal aloe vera plant as falsifiable or non-falsifiable.
pychu [463]

Answer:

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species ( with fleshy water storing tissue) belonging to the genus Aloe.

It is used in many products ( including beverages, cosmetic products as gel, medicinal ointments). Its juice is quite bitter in taste. It is known to be the best skin moisturizer and can be used for healing wounds by enhancing the renewal of damaged cells. It is also used as an anticarcinogen, thus reduces the chances of cancer.

Thus, the given hypothesis can be classified as  falsifiable ( which is proven wrong) or non-falsifiable ( which is proven right) in the following way-

Falsifiable-

Aloe vera juice tastes  better than carrot juice.

Non Falsifiable-

Aloe vera gel is the best  natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera gel can heal  wounds by boosting  cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can  reduce the risk of lung  cancer.

A motorcyclist drives around a bend with a 20 m radius, with a constant velocity of 3 m/s. The motorcyclist and the motorcycle h
Pavel [41]

Answer:

a=0.45\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a bend, r = 20 m

Velocity of motorcyclist, v = 3 m/s

The combined mass of motorcyclist and the motorcycle is 50 kg

We need to find the motorcyclist’s centripetal acceleration. The formula used to find the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3)^2}{20}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the motorcyclist is 0.45\ m/s^2.

How much energy in Joules (J) would an electric heater that draws 9.5 A when connected to a 120 V supply use if the heater were
leonid [27]
<h2>Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J</h2>

Explanation:

Energy = Power x Time

Power = Voltage x Current

Voltage = 120 V

Current = 9.5 A

Power = Voltage x Current

Power = 120 x 9.5 = 1140 W

Time = 2 hours = 2 x 60 x 60 = 7200 s

Energy = Power x Time

Energy = 1140 x 7200

Energy = 8208000 J

Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J

timama [110]

Answer:

The transfer of heat by the movement of fluid is called Convection Heat Transfer

Explanation:

Heat transfer by convection is the transfer of heat by fluid transport from one place to another, such that convection takes place when the heat that comes in contact of fluid containing body is moved to other parts of the container by the transporting fluid

Heat is transferred within a fluid medium mainly by convection (movement of heat by the transfer of fluid particles in the medium)

Convection heat transfer is a combination of conduction and advection heat transfer

Ahmad is riding his bicycle. He finds that he can accelerate from rest at 0.44 m/s^2 for 5 s to reach a speed of 2.2 m/s. The to
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.
