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

Anestetic [448]

The efficiency of a light source is the percentage of its energy input that gets radiated as visible light if some of the blue light in an led is used to cause a fluorescent material to glow the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.

How efficient is LED?

Different wavelengths that correlate to different visible colours are used in LED light therapy. Various shades pierce the skin at different rates.

  1. Your skin's outermost layer is impacted by blue light.
  2. Yellow light is more enveloping.
  3. Red light penetrates your skin more deeply.
  4. The deepest penetrating light is near-infrared.

Different LED hues have various effects. For instance, according to experts red LED light therapy has the potential to reduce inflammation and boost collagen formation, which declines with age and is crucial for maintaining youthful-looking skin.

Acne-causing bacteria may be destroyed by a blue LED light therapy (P. acnes).

Hence the answer is the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.

What constant acceleration (in ft/s2) is required to increase the speed of a car from 27 mi/h to 50 mi/h in 5 seconds
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

6.746 ft/s^2

Explanation:

v(t)=50

v(0)=27

t=5/3600 = 1/720 hours

v(t)-v(0)= a(t-0)

50-27= a(1/720)

a= 23*720= 16560 mi/h^2

16560mi/h^2 * 5280/3600^2 (ft/s^2) =6.746 ft/s^2

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.
