Answer: D = 16m

Explanation: given values: a = 2 m/s2, v = 4 m/s
In this case we have to determine the diameter of the Ferris wheel.
Diameter of circle is given as: D = 2.r.
First we have to find radius of wheel. The best way to find that is using the centripetal acceleration equation: a = v2/r
Plug in values in above equation to find radius: 2 m/s2 = (4 m/s)2/r 2 m/s2 = (16 m2/s2)/r r = (16 m2/s2)/2 m/s2
r = 8.0m
Diameter of Ferris wheel is:
D = 2.r.
D = 2.8m
D = 16m

Answer: tensional force

Explanation:

Tension force on a material occurs when two equal forces act on a material in an opposite direction away from the ends of the material.

Pre-tensing a wire material increases its load bearing capacity and reduces its flexure.

An airplane is flying with a velocity of 100 m/s at an angle of 25° above the horizontal. When the plane is 114 m directly above
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The suitcase will land 976.447m from the dog.

Explanation:

The velocity in its component in the X and Y axis is decomposed:

Vx= 100m/s × cos(25°)= 90.63m/s

Vy= 100m/s × sen(25°)= 42.26m/s

Time it takes for the suitcase to reach maximum height, the final speed on the axis and at the point of maximum height is zero whereby:

VhmaxY= Voy- 9.81(m/s^2) × t ⇒ t= (42.26 m/s) / (9.81(m/s^2)) = 4.308s

The space traveled on the axis and from the moment the suitcase is thrown until it reaches its maximum height will be:

Dyhmax= Voy × t - (1/2) × 9.81(m/s^2) × (t^2) =

= 42.26m/s × 4.308s - 4.9 (m/s^2)  × (4.308s)^2 =

=182.056m - 90.938m= 91.118m

The time from the maximum height to touching the ground is:

Dtotal y= 114m + 91.118m = (1/2) × 9.81(m/s^2) × (t^2) =

= 205.118m = 4.9 (m/s^2) × (t^2) ⇒ t= (41.818 s^2) ^ (1/2)= 6.466s

The total time of the bag in its rise and fall will be:

t= 4.308s + 6.466s = 10.774s

With this time and the initial velocity at x which is constant I can obtain the distance traveled by the suitcase on the x-axis:

Dx= 90.63 (m/s) × 10.774s = 976.447m

The Coriolis<span> Effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns. The direction that they spin depend on the hemisphere that they are in.
