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

e motion somewhat unpleasant. To take your mind off your stomach, you wonder about the motion of the ride. You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 15 m, and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes 23 s.A. What is your speed?
B. What is the magnitude of your acceleration?
C. What is the ratio of your weight at the top of the ride to yourweight while standing on the ground?
D. What is the ratio of your weight at the bottom of the ride toyour weight while standing on the ground?

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

radius = 15 m

Time T = 23 s

a) Speed (v) = \dfrac{2 \pi r}{T}

v = \dfrac{2\times \pi \times 15}{23}

v = 4.10 m/s

b) The magnitude of the acceleration is:

a = \dfrac{v^2}{r} \\ \\ a = \dfrac{(4.10)^2}{15}

a = 1.12 m/s²

c) True weight = mg

Apparent weight = normal force

From the top;

the normal force = upward direction,

weight is downward as well as the acceleration.

true weight - normal force = ma  

apparent weight =mg - ma  

\dfrac{apparent \ weight}{true \  weight} = \dfrac{(mg - ma)}{(mg)}

=1- \dfrac{1.12}{9.8}

= 0.886 m/s²

d)

From the bottom;

acceleration is upward, so:

apparent weight - true weight = ma

apparent weight = true weight + ma

\dfrac{apparent \ weight }{true \ weight} =\dfrac{ mg + ma}{mg}

\dfrac{apparent \ weight }{true \ weight} =1+ \dfrac{a}{g} \\ \\ = 1 + \dfrac{1.12}{9.8}

= 1 + \dfrac{1.12}{9.8} \\ \\

= 1.114 m/s²

A train accelerates at -1.5 m/s2 for 10 seconds. If the train had an initial
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

17 m/s

Explanation:

Using formula a = (v-u) /t

acceleration a =  -1.5 m/s2

final velocity v = unknown

initial velocity u = 32 m/s

time t = 10s

-1.5 = (v-32)/10

-15 = v - 32

-15 + 32 = v

v = 17 m/s

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand

9). a). 4.49 m/s;  b). 29.7 m/s

10). 7.24 meters

11).  700 meters

12).  A). 103.7 meters ( ! she's in big trouble ! );     B).  17.5 meters

A graph shows how the temperature of a substance changes as energy is added steadily over time.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A flat, horizontal line  

Explanation:

A flat, horizontal line indicates a phase change.

The temperature does not increase because the added heat goes into converting one phase into another.

A is wrong. A downward-sloping line indicates that the temperature is decreasing with time.

C is wrong. An upward-sloping line indicates that the temperature is increasing with time.
