During their physics field trip to the amusement park, Leslie and Maria took a ride on the Whirligig. The Whirligig ride consists of long swings which spin in a circle at relatively high speeds. As part of their lab, Leslie and Maria estimate that the riders travel through a circle with a radius of 6.5 m and make one circle every 5.8 seconds. Determine the frequency, the period, the speed and acceleration of the riders on the Whirligig

a) frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b) Period = 5.8 sec

c) speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

radius = 6.5m

time period = 5.8 sec every circle

a)  the frequency

frequency is the number of rotation in unit time

frequency = 1 / time period = 1/5.8

frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b)  the period

period is time taken in one rotation

period = total time / rotation = 5.8 / 1

Period = 5.8 sec

c)  the speed

speed = distance/time = circumference/time period = 2πr / t = (2π×6.5) / 5.8

speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration

To find the acceleration we take the linear velocity squared divided by the radius of the circle.

so

acceleration = v² / r = (7.04)² / 6.5 = 49.5616 / 6.5

acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Options:
a. a lower frequency and a shorter wavelength.
b. a higher frequency and a longer wavelength.
c. a lower frequency and a longer wavelength.
d. a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength

Answer:
d. a higher frequency and a shorter wavelength

Explanation:
The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength. Light waves have very, very short wavelengths.
For example, Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies. Radio waves, on the other hand, have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation.
Options:
a. a lower frequency and a shorter wavelength.
b. a higher frequency and a longer wavelen

Answer:
7.25 secs.

Explanation:
First find the distance it takes to stop
s = [v^2-u^2]/2a = 0^2 - 8.7^2/2[-2.4] = 8.7^2/4.8
Next find the time it takes to go that distance , s = ut +[1/2] at^2
8.7^2/4.8 = 8.7t +[1/2] [ -2.4]t^2 , rearrange and
t^2 -[8.7/1.2]+ 8.7^2/[(1.2)(4.8)]=0 complete the square
[t - (8.7/2.4)]^2=0
t = 8.7/2.4 = 3.625 secs
At this stage the deceleration will push the object back in the direction it came from for another 3.625 secs when it will be 8.7 m/s again
Total time , T =2t = 7.25 secs.

Note:
The term differential is used in calculus to refer to an infinitesimal (infinitely small) change in some varying quantity. For example, if x is a variable, then a change in the value of x is often denoted Δx (pronounced delta x). The differential dx represents an infinitely small change in the variable x.

First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma
Force = mass* acceleration
This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time,
force=(mass*velocity)/time
such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time
Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum
Momentum=mass*velocity
Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s
Momentum=6300*0.11
P=693 kg (m/s)
Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s
Momentum=50*10.4
P=520 kg (m/s)
The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.

The change in temperature is 9.52°CExplanation:Since, the heat supplied by the electric kettle is totally used to increase the temperature of the water.Thus, from the law of conservation of energy can be stated as:Heat Supplied by Electric Kettle = Heat Absorbed by WaterHeat Supplied by Electric Kettle = m C ΔTwhere,Heat Supplied by Electric Kettle = 20,000 JMass of water = m = 0.5 kgSpecific Heat Capacity of Water = C = 4200 J/kg.°CChange in Temperature of Water = ΔTTherefore,20,000 J = (0.5 kg)(4200 J/kg.°C) ΔTΔT = 20,000 J/(2100 J/°C)ΔT = 9.52°C

Weight of jasmine (m) = 400 N
Height climbed on wall (h) = 5m
Total time taken in climbing = 5 sec
Work done in climbing the wall = rise in potential energy = mgh
= 400×9.8×51
= 19600J
Power generated by Jasmine = potential energy / time
= 19600/5
= 3920Watts

The horizontal and vertical motions of balloons are independent from each other.
Let vertical component of initial velocity U' horizontal component of initial velocity U"
Time of landing (t) is found with the help of vertical motion.
Since vertical component of initial velocity of balloon is zero(U' = 0)
From equation h = U't + 1/2gt^2
h = 1/2gt^2
t = √(2h/g)
t = √( 2×150/9.8)
t = 5.53 sec
Horizontal velocity = 50m/s
Horizontal range of balloon, R = U"t
= 50× 5.53
= 27.65m
So the balloon will go 27.65 metre away from the bridge
