Answer:

a = -16.9 ft/s²

Explanation:

81.8 mi/hr(5280 ft/mi / 3600s/hr) = 120 ft/s

a = Δv/t = (0 - 120) / 7.1 = -16.9 ft/s²

if the initial direction is taken as the positive direction.

A motor keep a Ferris wheel (with moment of inertia 6.97 × 107 kg · m2 ) rotating at 8.5 rev/hr. When the motor is turned off, t

Talja [164]

Answer:

$P = 133.13 Watt$

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of the ferris wheel is given as

$\omega_i = 2\pi f$

$\omega_i = 2\pi(8.5/3600)$

$\omega_i = 0.015 rad/s$

final angular speed after friction is given as

$\omega_f = 2\pi f$

$\omega_f = 2\pi(7.5/3600)$

$\omega_f = 0.013 rad/s$

now angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha = \frac{0.015 - 0.013}{15}$

$\alpha = 1.27 \times 10^{-4} rad/s^2$

now torque due to friction on the wheel is given as

$\tau = I \alpha$

$\tau = (6.97 \times 10^7)(1.27 \times 10^{-4})$

$\tau = 8875.3 N m$

Now the power required to rotate it with initial given speed is

$P = \tau \omega$

$P = 8875.3 \times 0.015$

$P = 133.13 Watt$

Suppose astronomers discover a type-M star with a very large luminosity. What type of star is it likely to be

lianna [129]

Answer: A red supergiant

Explanation:

Red supergiants are the stars that have a supergiant luminosity which has a class of either K or M spectral type. In terms of volume, they are regarded as the largest stars on Earth even though they are not the most luminous.

Red supergiants are formed when a star collapses after the hydrogen fuel that the star has in its core runs out and

then fusion begins when the outer shells of hydrogen gets hot.
