Question

A) what is the magnitude of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the lowest point in her circular motion? B) what's the direction? C) what's the magnitude as she passes through the highest point? D) what's the direction? E)how much time does it take the ferries wheel to make one revolution? A Ferris wheel with radius 14.0 In s turning about a horizontal axis through its center (the figure (Figure 1)). The linear speed of a passenger on the rirn is constant and equal to 6.75 m/s Figure 1 of1

Explanation / Answer

R = 14 m

speed of passenger , v = 6.75 m/s

a) at the lowest point

acceleration = v^2/R

acceleration = 6.75^2/14

acceleration = 3.25 m/s^2

the magnitude of the acceleration is 3.25 m/s^2

b) the direction of acceleration is upwards

c) at the highest point

acceleration = v^2/R

acceleration = 6.75^2/14

acceleration = 3.25 m/s^2

the magnitude of the acceleration is 3.25 m/s^2

d) the direction of acceleration is downwards

e) time taken for one complete cycle = 2pi *r /v

time taken for one complete cycle = 2pi * 14/6.75

time taken for one complete cycle = 13.03 s
