Answer:

The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer is approximately 0.262 m/s

Explanation:

The dimensions of the tallest Ferris wheel in the world are;

The diameter of the Ferris wheel, D = 150 m

The tine it takes the Ferris wheel to make a full circle, T = 30 minutes = 30 min × 60 s/min = 1,800 seconds

The angular velocity of the Ferris wheel, ω = 2·π/T

The linear velocity of the Ferris wheel, v = r·ω = The speed of the riders

Where;

r = The radius of the Ferris wheel = D/2

D = 150 m

∴ r = 150 m/2 = 75 m

∴ v = r·2·π/T

∴ v = 75 m × 2 × π/(1,800 s) ≈ 0.262 m/s

The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer, v ≈ 0.262 m/s

What happened as the mass of the sun increased during formation of the solor system
sveta [45]

Answer:

Formation. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. ... When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material. At the center, gravity pulled more and more material in.
