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

A spring with an 8-kg mass is kept stretched 0.4 m beyond its natural length by a force of 32 N. The spring starts at its equili
pentagon [3]

Answer:

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

Explanation:

Assume that the general equation of the displacement given as

x = A sinω t

A=Amplitude ,t=time ,ω=natural frequency

We know that speed V

V=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

V= A ω cosωt

Maximum velocity

V(max)= Aω

Given that F= 32 N

F = K Δ

K=Spring constant

Δ = 0.4 m

32 =0.4 K

K = 80 N/m

We know that  ω²m = K

8 ω² = 80

ω = 3.16 s⁻¹

Given that V(max)= Aω = 4 m/s

3.16 A = 4

A= 1.26 m

Therefore the general equation of displacement

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

An investigator places a sample 1.0 cm from a wire carrying a large current; the strength of the magnetic field has a particular
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

she must increase the current by factor of 7

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a steady current flowing in a very long straight wire encircles the wire.In order to solve the question, we use this formula,

B= μo I/(2πr)

where,

'μo'  represents permeability of free space i.e 4π*10-7 N/A2

B=magnetic field

I= current

r=radius

->When r= 1cm=> 0.01m

B1 = μo I_{1/(2π x 0.01)

->when r=7cm =>0.07m

B2 = μo I_{2}/(2π x 0.07)

Now equating both of the magnetic fields, we have

B1= B2

μo I_{1/(2π x 0.01)= μo I_{2}/(2π x 0.07)

I_{1/  I_{2}= 0.01/0.07

I_{1/  I_{2}= 1/ 7

Therefore, she must increase the current by factor of 7

<h2><em><u>⇒</u></em>Answer:</h2>

In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.600 m and the acceleration achieved from this position is 1.25 times the acceleration due to gravity, g . How far can they jump? State your assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved by swinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)

Step-by-Step Solution:

Solution 35PE

This question discusses about the increased range. So, we shall assume that the angle of jumping will be  as the horizontal range is maximum at this angle.

Step 1 of 3<

/p>

The legs have an extension of 0.600 m in the crouch position.

So,  m

The person is at rest initially, so the initial velocity will be zero.

The acceleration is  m/s2

Acceleration  m/s2

Let the final velocity be .

Step 2 of 3<

/p>

Substitute the above given values in the kinematic equation  ,

m/s

Therefore, the final velocity or jumping speed is  m/s
