First of all, let's just talk about the speed, and not get wound up
in the velocity. OK ?
If a fly is sitting on the rim of the wheel and the wheel is rotating, then for
each full revolution of the wheel, the fly travels the circumference of the
wheel, which is (2 π) x (radius of the wheel).
In 'N' revolutions, the fly travels (2 N π) x (the radius). and so on.
So if the wheel is going, let's say 71 revs per minute (RPM), a point
on the rim is moving at (2 π times 71) x (the radius) per minute.
Another way to say it:
Speed of a point on the circle = (2 π) x (rotation frequency) x (radius).
The 'rotation frequency' takes care of the unit of time, and the 'radius'
takes care of the unit of length, so the result is a speed.
I think centripetal force ☺
The answer that best fits the blank is the term WAXING. The moon is waxing whenever it reaches to the period that its phases are transitioning from new to full. The answer is the first option. This is when it is more that half is illuminated. Hope this helps.
<u>Answer:</u>
a) Height of cliff = 44.145 meter
b) 7.5 meter far from its base the diver hit the water.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We have equation of motion , , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
Diver's vertical motion:
Initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 , we need to calculate displacement when time is 3 seconds.
So height of cliff = 44.145 meter.
b) Diver's horizontal motion:
Initial velocity = 2.5 m/s, acceleration = 0 , we need to calculate displacement when time is 3 seconds.
So 7.5 meter far from its base the diver hit the water.
