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

Football player A has a mass of 210 pounds and is running at a rate of 5.0 mi/hr. He collides with player B. Player B has a mass
Naddika [18.5K]

The equation for momentum is p = mv where p is the omentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. Calculating the momentum for each football player, player A will have a momentum of 1050 lb-mi/h and player B will have a momentum of 570 lb-mi/h. Therefore, momentum of player A is greater than that of player B.

When work is done on an object, where does the energy used to do the work go?
borishaifa [10]
-- If the work is done to make the object move faster, then
the work done becomes kinetic energy of the object.

-- If work is done on the object but it doesn't move any faster,
then there must be friction holding it back.  In that case, the work
that's done just to keep the object moving becomes heat, in the
places where the friction acts on it.
