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

4 0

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

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Time elapsed

Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is defined as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2). It must be noticed that acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction. In particular:

- when acceleration is negative, it means that the object is slowing down, so acceleration is in opposite direction to the velocity

- when acceleration is positive, it means that the object is speeding up, so acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity

Which term means the weight of air measured in units of force per area?
Norma-Jean [14]
Force per area is pressure so I think the answer would be air pressure. Relative pressure sounds like it is a measure of pressure relative to something else.
