Aferris wheel with a 15-m radius makes three complete revolutions in one minute about its horizontal axis. what is the magnitude and direction of a passengers acceleration at the lowest point during the ride?

, upward

Explanation:

The passenger on the wheel experiences a centripetal acceleration, which is the one that keeps him in a circular motion.

The direction of this acceleration is always towards the centre of the circular trajectory: so when the passenger is at the lowest point of the ride, the acceleration is upward.

Concerning the magnitude, it is given by

where

is the angular velocity

r = 15 m is the radius

We need to find the angular velocity; we know that the wheel completes 3 revolutions in one minute. Each revolution corresponds to an angle of rad, so the total angular displacement is

rad

And the time is

So the angular velocity is

And substituting into the equation of the acceleration,

i feel your pain too because i cant find my dad and hes been missing for 17 years of my life

explanation:

he went to the supermarket with your dad

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
