<span>Acceleration of a passenger is centripetal acceleration, since the Ferris wheel is assumed at uniform speed:
a = omega^2*r
omega and r in terms of given data:
omega = 2*Pi/T
r = d/2
Thus:
a = 2*Pi^2*d/T^2
What forces cause this acceleration for the passenger, at either top or bottom?
At top (acceleration is downward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Ntop): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
m*g - Ntop = m*a
At top (acceleration is upward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Nbottom): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
Nbottom - m*g = m*a
Solve for normal forces in both cases. Normal force is apparent weight, the weight that the passenger thinks is her weight when measuring by any method in the gondola reference frame:
Ntop = m*(g - a)
Nbottom = m*(g + a)
Substitute a:
Ntop = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
Nbottom = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
We are interested in the ratio of weight (gondola reference frame weight to weight when on the ground):
Ntop/(m*g) = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Nbottom/(m*g) = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Simplify:
Ntop/(m*g) = 1 - 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Nbottom/(m*g) = 1 + 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Data:
d:=22 m; T:=12.5 sec; g:=9.8 N/kg;
Results:
Ntop/(m*g) = 71.64%...she feels "light"
Nbottom/(m*g) = 128.4%...she feels "heavy"</span>

Answer:
It's -32x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
sin(x)-cos(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the denominator:
Simplify the numerator:
Divide the fractions: <u>(a/b)/(c/d) = (a * d)/(b * c)</u>:
Use the identity: <u>2cos(x)sin(x) = sin(2x):</u>
Cancel out the common factor (sin(2x)):
-cos(x) + sin(x)
Simplify:
sin(x) - cos(x)
Answer:
Integer, rational
Step-by-step explanation:
An integer is normally described as a positive and their opposites and zero. The explaination for blank 2 is a rational number because a rational number can also be an integer and a whole number. Hope this helps!
