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 uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) ω = 6v/19L

B) K2/K1 = 3/19

Explanation:

Mr = Mass of rod

Mb = Mass of bullet = Mr/4

Ir = (1/3)(Mr)L²

Ib = MbRb²

Radius of rotation of bullet Rb = L/2

A) From conservation of angular momentum,

L1 = L2

(Mb)v(L/2) = (Ir+ Ib)ω2

Where Ir is moment of inertia of rod while Ib is moment of inertia of bullet.

(Mr/4)(vL/2) = [(1/3)(Mr)L² + (Mr/4)(L/2)²]ω2

(MrvL/8) = [((Mr)L²/3) + (MrL²/16)]ω2

Divide each term by Mr;

vL/8 = (L²/3 + L²/16)ω2

vL/8 = (19L²/48)ω2

Divide both sides by L to obtain;

v/8 = (19L/48)ω2

Thus;

ω2 = 48v/(19x8L) = 6v/19L

B) K1 = K1b + K1r

K1 = (1/2)(Mb)v² + Ir(w1²)

= (1/2)(Mr/4)v² + (1/3)(Mr)L²(0²)

= (1/8)(Mr)v²

K2 = (1/2)(Isys)(ω2²)

I(sys) is (Ir+ Ib). This gives us;

Isys = (19L²Mr/48)

K2 =(1/2)(19L²Mr/48)(6v/19L)²

= (1/2)(36v²Mr/(48x19)) = 3v²Mr/152

Thus, the ratio, K2/K1 =

[3v²Mr/152] / (1/8)(Mr)v² = 24/152 = 3/19

What are the assumptions on which the cosmological principle is based?.
prisoha [69]
Homogeneity and isotropy, On large enough scales, the Universe looks pretty much the same in all directions. The big bang theory is based on two assumptions: the first is centered around Einstein's general theory of relativity, which accurately describes gravity and the interactions of matter; and the second, also known as the cosmological principle, asserts that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on a large enough scale.

Hope this helps!

a ship A , steaming in a direction 030° with a steady 12 km/h, sight a ship B. The velocity of B relative to A is 10km/h in a di
pickupchik [31]

Answer: 11 km/h at 339° compass

Explanation:

A sees B moving south at 0 km/h

A is moving north at 12cos30 = 10.392 km/h

Therefore B must be moving north at 10.392 k/h

A is moving east at 12sin30 = 6 km/h

B appears to be moving west at 10 km/h

Therefore B must be moving west at 10 - 6 = 4 km/h

B is moving v = √(4² + 10.392²) = 11.135... 11 km/h

θ = arctan( -4 / 10.392) = -21.05 = 339°
