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

Answer:

The answer is

A. Pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

Explanation:

 The question is incomplete, here is a complete question with full options

You are caulking a window. The caulk is rather thick and, to lay the bead correctly, the exit nozzle is small. A caulking gun uses a plunger which is operated by pulling back on a handle. You must squeeze the handle very hard to get the caulk to come out of the narrow opening because:_________.

A. pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

B. viscous drag between the walls of the tip and the caulk causes the caulk to swirl around chaotically.

C. Newton’s third law requires most of the energy in the caulk to be used to push back on the plunger rather than moving it through the tip.

D. the high density of the caulk impedes its flow through the small opening.

Since the caulk is thick and the exit nozzle is small, the pressure needed to deliver the caulk will be very high as pressure is uniformly distributed at the plunger side at every part of the caulk, hence very high pressure is needed to deliver the caulk which is why the handle needed the very hard squeeze

maria [59]

The correct answer for the statement “All the scientific theories used to explain the formation of the solar system are non-testable”. The answers outdated, imaginative and unacceptable are wrong. These theories are not proven and yet are not tested due to the complexity.

9. Since current is the rate at which charge is flowing, if the current in the circuit decreases, what does that mean about the
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit from point one point to another. This is carried by electrically charged particles within the circuit. Current is represented by the symbol I and its unit measured in Amperes. It is therefore related to the voltage and resistance of the circuit. If the current in the circuit reduces, the rate at which the charge and current on the capacitor reduces also proportionally in an exponential manner.

Explanation:

Since a decrease in the flow of current in the circuit is observed, the implication for the rate at which the charge and voltage on the capacitor is also an exponential decrease in the rate of flow with time. This is because the electric current is directly proportional to the electric charge and the time.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, where there is a uniform electric field between
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer : 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, E=2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C

We know that,

Charge of electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

From the definition of electric field, F=qE...............(1)

According to Newton's second law, F = ma..........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

ma=qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C }{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}

a=0.4483\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

or

a=4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

So, the horizontal component of acceleration of an electron is 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Hence, it is the required solution.
