Physics

Explanation:

We'll call the radius r and the diameter d:

We also assume that the riders are at a distance r = d/2 = 7m from the center of the wheel.

The period of the wheel is 24s. The tangent velocity of the wheel (and the riders) will be: (2pi/T)*r = 0.8 m/s (circa).

It means that in 3 minutes (180 seconds) they'll run 0.8 m/s * 180s = 144m.

Hopefully I understood the question. If yes, that's the answer.

Arisa [49]

Answer: 7.5 rev/s

Explanation:

We are given the angular velocity \omega a helicopter's main rotor blades:

\omega=450 rpm=450 \frac{rev}{min}

However, we are asked to express this \omega in the International Systrm (SI) units. In this sense, the SI unit for time is second (s):

\omega=450 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 min}{60 s}

\omega=7.5 \frac{rev}{s}

Explain how evidence of energy transformation in fireworks supports the law of conservation of energy.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Energy transformation in fireworks supports the law of conservation of energy because the total chemical energy packed into the fireworks before they ignite must be the same as the total remaining after it explodes... I hope this was the answer you were looking for.. I love your Yoongi pfp btw! :) </3

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Explanation:

This method is called  finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Cepheid variable is actually a type of star that has a radial pulsation having a varying brightness and diameter. This change in brightness is very well defined having a period and amplitude.

A potent clear link between the luminosity and pulsation period of a Cepheid variable developed Cepheids as an important determinants of cosmic criteria for scaling galactic and extra galactic distances. Henrietta Swan Leavitt revealed this robust feature of conventional Cepheid in 1908 after observing thousands of variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds. This in fact turn, by making comparisons its established luminosity to its measured brightness, allows one to evaluate the distance to the star.

Waves transport
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

d)energy

Explanation:

Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. It is the disturbance that travels in a wave, transferring energy.

The time of motion of the track star is determined as 0.837 s.

<h3>Time of motion of the track star</h3>

The time of motion of the track star is calculated as follows;

T = (2u sinθ)/g

where;

  • T is time of motion
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • θ is angle of projection

T = (2 x 12 x sin20)/9.8

T = 0.837 s
