A Ferris wheel has a radius of 30 m and its centre is 32 m above the ground. It rotates once every 48 s. Ethan gets on the Feris wheel at the lowest point and then the wheel starts to rotate. The amount of time it takes Ethan to reach 38 m above the ground for the first time, to the nearest tenth of a second, is S. Your answer

Explain why centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity in circular motion but not its magnitude.
A runner taking part in the 200-m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of 30.0 m. The runner starts the race at a constant speed. If she completes the 200-m dash in 23.2s and rum at constant speed throughout the race, what is her centripetal acceleration as she runs the curved portion of the track?

An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 20.0 days on average to complete one nearly circular revolution around the unnamed planet. If the distance from the center of the moon to the surface of the planet is 2.420 × 10° km and the planet has a radius of 4.100 × 10³ km, calculate the moon's radial acceleration a. a = m/s? & TOOLS x10

In elementary school, there was a very large hill right next to the school. My mom would always try to drive so fast up the hill that we would fly off the road. I can’t actually remember if she did, or if she just created such magic aroudn driving fast that it felt like we did. Let’s estimate that the hill had a curved top with a radius of 35 meters. How fast would she have to drive (in mph) to fly off the road?
A toy racecar races along a circular race track that has a radius of 32 meters. The racecar starts at the 3-o'clock position of the track and travels in the CCW direction. Suppose the racecar has traveled 51 meters along the race track. How many radians has the racecar swept out? radians What is the racecar's distance to the right of the center of the race track (in meters)? meters What is the racecar's distance above the center of the race track (in meters)? meters Let dd represent the racecar's varying distance traveled (in meters) along the circular race track. Write an expression (in terms of d) to represent the racecar's distance to the right of the center of the race track (in meters). Write an expression (in terms of d) to represent the racecar's distance above the center of the race track (in meters).
