A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an

y point on the circle. What is the child’s “apparent weight” at the lowest point of the circular motion? (Hint: The “apparent weight” is the normal force, or the force of the seat on the child at any point.)

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

zimovet [89]

Answer:

a) v = 6.25\times 10^{5} m/s

b) v = 1.73\times 10^{4} m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Electric field = 1.47 N/C

velocity of electron is 4.55\times 10^5 m/s

distance of point b from point A is 0.55 m

we know that acceleration of particle is given as

a) for electron

a =\frac{q E}{m}

a = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.47}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a = 2.58\times 10^{11} m/s^2

from equation of motion we have

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

      = 20.7025 \times 10^{10} + 2\times 2.58\times 10^{11} \times 0.355

v = 6.25\times 10^{5} m/s

b) for proton

a = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19} \times -1.47}{1.6\times 10^{-27}}

a = -1.41\times 10^{8} m/s^2

from equation of motion we have

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

       = 3.8025 \times 10^{8} - 2\times 1.41\times 10^{8} \times 0.355

v = 1.73\times 10^{4} m/s

During lightning strikes from a cloud to the ground, currents as high as 2.50×104 A can occur and last for about 40.0 μs . How m
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 2.5 \times 10^{4} A

Time t = 40 \times 10^{-6} sec

We know that the current is the rate of flow of charge.

From the formula of current,

<h3>  I = \frac{Q}{t}</h3>

Where Q = charge transfer between cloud and earth.

 Q =I t

Q = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}

Q = 1 C

Hence, the charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.

Tudy the images about geologic time.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era is well known and most famous because of the rule of the dinosaurs which were the dominant animals for most of this are. Also, it is the era in which the mammals appeared, though they lived in the shadows of the dinosaurs and only became dominant after their extinction. Another important evolution that took place and is not mentioned very often is the appearance of the first flowering plants. This was a revolutionary trait for the plants, and it helped them to survive in the changing climate on Earth. Soon this trait enabled this type of plants to spread out significantly and to become one of the most dominant organisms on the planet in the following era.
