(a) As you ride on a Ferris wheel, your apparent weight is different at the top and at the bottom. Explain. (b) Calculate your apparent weight at the top and bottom of a Ferris wheel, given that the radius of the wheel is 7.2 m, it completes one revolution every 28 seconds, and your mass is 55 kg.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The component of the net force which make up the apparent weight are added to each other at the bottom and subtracted (the centripetal force from the weight) at the top)

b. Apparent weight at the top is approximately 519.06 N

Apparent weight at the bottom is approximately 558.94 N

Explanation:

a. The apparent weight at the top is different from the apparent weight at the bottom of a moving Ferris wheel because of the opposite direction in which the centripetal force acts at the top and the bottom, which are upwards and downwards respectively, while the weight acts downwards constantly

b. The given parameters are

The radius of the Ferris wheel, r = 7.2 m

The period for one complete revolution, t = 28 seconds

The angle covered in one revolution, θ = 2·π radian

The mass of the person riding on the Ferris wheel, the passenger  = 55 kg

Therefore, we have;

The angular speed, ω = Δθ/Δt = 2·π/(28)

From which we have;

Centripetal force, [tex]F_c[/tex] = m × ω² × r

Substituting the known values, we have [tex]F_c[/tex] = 55 kg × (2·π/(28 s))² × 7.2 m ≈ 19.94 N

The centripetal force, [tex]F_c[/tex] = 19.94 N always acting outward from the center

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

The weight of the passenger = 55 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 539 N

The weight of the passenger = 539 N always acting downwards

At the top of the Ferris wheel the the centripetal force is acting upwards and the weight is acting downwards

Therefore;

The net force, which is the apparent weight of the passenger at the top [tex]F_{NET_{Top}}[/tex] = 539 N - 19.94 N ≈ 519.06 N

Apparent weight at the top ≈ 519.06 N

At the bottom of the Ferris wheel the weight is acting downwards and the centripetal force is also acting downwards

Therefore;

The net force at the bottom, which is the apparent weight of the passenger at the bottom [tex]F_{NET_{bottom}}[/tex] = 539 N + 19.94 N ≈ 558.94 N

Apparent weight at the bottom ≈ 558.94 N.

A 75 kg ball carrier is running to the right at 6.5 m/s. An 80 kg defender is chasing the ball carrier running at 7.0 m/s. The defender catches the ball carrier in a completely inelastic collision. What was the kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle?

Answers

Answer:

3,544.375Joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion, It is expressed as;

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity

For the ball carrier;

KE = 1/2(75)(6.5)²

KE = 3168.75/2

KE = 1584.375Joules

For the defender;

KE = 1/2(80)(7)²

KE = 3920/2

KE = 1960Joules

The kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle = KE for the carrier + KE for the defender

kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle= 1584.375+1960 = 3,544.375Joules

Why do you think it is colder during the winter than the summer?

Answers

Answer:

As the earth travels around the sun during the year it maintains this tilt. Because of this tilt, in the summer we (north of the equator) are slanted more directly towards the sun so it's hotter. In the winter, we're slanted away so the sun's rays are less direct, making it colder.

A molecule of water H2O and a molecule of methane CH4 have close to the same mass Which statement explains why water has much higher boiling point than methane?
A. There is hoydrogen bonding between water molecules?
B. There is ionic bonding between water molecules
C. There is hydrogen bonding between methane molecules
D. There is ionic bonding between methane molecules​

Answers

Answer:

A. There is hydrogen bonding between water molecules

Explanation:

Boiling point is a physical property of matter. It is typically conditioned by the intermolecular forces present between the molecules of a compound.

The nature of the intermolecular forces between the molecules of water is very different from those of methane. Water molecules have hydrogen bonds within their molecules. These intermolecular bonds are very strong compared to the london dispersion forces in methane. Hydrogen bond forms when the hydrogen of one molecule binds with the oxygen of another molecule.

Answer:

A)

Explanation:

There is hydrogen bonding between water molecules

Melinda is taking a tour through a new city on the tour she walk there .40 miles south 0.65 miles east 0.78 miles north 1.24 miles west then 1.20 miles south at the end of the tour what is Melinda's displacement vector

Answers

Answer:

The displacement vector is  [tex]-0.59 \hat i -0.82 \hat j[/tex]

Explanation:

Taking East as positive x-axis having a unit vector [tex]\hat i[/tex] and North as positive y-axis having a unit vector [tex]\hat j[/tex].

So, west and south are in negative x and negative y  directions respectively.

As she walks 0.40 miles south, 0.65 miles east, 0.78 miles north, 1.24 miles west then 1.20 miles south.

Scaling 1 mile as 1 unit vector, so 1 mile east = 1 [tex]\hat i[/tex] and so on

Adding all the displacement vectors, we have

[tex]\vec {v} = -0.40 \hat j +0.65 \hat i + 0.78 \hat j -1.24 \hat i - 1.20 \hat j[/tex]

[tex]\vec {v} = -0.59 \hat i -0.82 \hat j[/tex]

Hence, the displacement vector is  [tex]-0.59 \hat i -0.82 \hat j[/tex]

A force of 900N acts on
a stationary body
for 40sec and the body acquires the velocity of360 m/s calculate mass a body.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

It is still using F = m*a -- just in a disguised form.

Givens

F = 900 N

vf = 360 m/s

vi = 0

t = 40 second

Formulas

a = (vf - vi)//t

F = m * a

Solution

a = (360 - 0)/ 40

a = 9

F = m * a

900 = m * 9

m = 900/9

m - 100 kg.          Doesn't seem high enough.

Answer:

a= V- u/t

a= 360 - 0 /40 = 9 m/sec2

F = MA

900 = M * 9

M = 900/9

M= 100 kg

A racecar is driving around a circular track. The car is moving with a speed of 49.7 m/s, and the track has a radius of 114 m. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car?

Answers

Answer:

21.67 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity (v) = 49.7 m/s

Radius (r) = 114 m

Centripetal acceleration (a) =?

The centripetal acceleration can be obtained by using the following formula:

a = v²/r

a = 49.7² / 114

a = 2470.09 / 114

a = 21.67 m/s²

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the car is 21.67 m/s²

1. A book is at rest on a tabletop. Diagram the forces acting on the book. ​

Answers

When you place a book on a table, the book exerts a downward force on the table and the table exerts an upward force on the book.

The free-body diagram of the forces acting on a book resting on a table is shown in the figure.

When a body is at rest, the net force on the body is zero. So, no acceleration is produced in it. If a body is in contact with another body or surface, a normal contact force acts on it perpendicular to the surface in contact.

So, the forces acting on a book resting on a tabletop are:

1. Weight of the book, W(downward)

2. Normal force (N) perpendicular to the surface in contact.

Therefore, the free-body diagram of the forces acting on a book resting on a table is shown in the figure.
