Solve the situational problem involving circular function
1. A ferris wheel in las Vegas ,Nevada,opened in March 2014.The 550 ft tall wheel has a diameter of 5290 ft.A ride on its one of its 28 passenger cars last 30 minutes ,the time it takes the wheel to complete one full rotation. Riders board the passenger cars at the bottom of the wheel.Assume the once the wheel is in motion it maintains a constant speed for the 30-minutes ride and is rotating in a counter clockwise direction. If you were on this ride,how high would you be above the ground after 20 minutes?
![of the
sails. The sails are turning at the rate of one counterclockwise rotation
every 60 seconds. After 1 minute and 40 seconds, Don Quixote fell of
the sail and straight down to the ground. How far did he fall?

- I am having trouble with a 3 d motion problem. The problem is as follows, "A point on a rotating turntable 20.0 cm from the center accelerates from rest to a final speed of 0.600 m/s in 1.80 s. At t = 1.29 s, find the magnitude and direction of each of the following." The problem asks me to find the radial acceleration, the tangential acceleration, and the total acceleration of the point.

The position of the bead is described by the angle 0. At what 0 > 0 can the bead stay stationary while the hoop rotates? rarrow_forwardA rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. The outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. Randomized Variables d = 180 m If the space station is 180 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an "artificial gravity" of 9.80 m/s² at the rim? Give your answer in rad/s.arrow_forward
