7 0

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.

An office heater puts out 2050 btus of energy in the form of heat per hour. given that 1 btus =1.055 kj, how many megajoules of
ivolga24 [154]
<span>Assuming continuous operation (24/7), we can say that

Energy produced : Energy per hour * 24 (number of hours in a day) - 365 (number of days in a year.

Energy per hour: 2050 * 1.055 = 2162.75 kg.

So, we proceed to calculate the results

E: 2162.75 * 24 * 365 = 18,945,690 kj per year.

Now, we transform kj to megajoule, remembering that kilo is 10*3 and mega is 1'*6, so we divide the result by 1,000 in order to get the results in megajoules, and the answer would be:

18,945.69 megajoules can be produced per year.</span>
