At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is
∑ F = ma
n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a
where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is
a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²
and so
n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N
Kinetic, potential because, at the top of the ramp it’s going faster. Potential at the bottom of the ramp is potential because, it’s not doing any motion.
Answer:
Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.
Explanation:
Answer:
The Hubble space telescope.
Explanation:
Hubble is a telescope that observers the sky 24/7 non-stop, which means that for every day of the year it would have made a significant discovery, which of course includes your birthday. Furthermore, you can actually go to NASA website and find out what discovery was made on your birthday! This shows both the vastness of the universe <em>(it really has to be huge for a telescope to have a discovery for each day of the year!) </em> and the ceaseless work of the telescope!
