George washington gale ferris, jr., a civil engineering graduate from rensselaer polytechnic institute, built the original ferris wheel for the 1893 world's columbian exposition in chicago. the wheel, an astounding engineering construction at the time, carried 36 wooden cars, each holding up to 60 passengers, around a circle 76 m in diameter. the cars were loaded 6 at a time, and once all 36 cars were full, the wheel made a complete rotation at constant angular speed in about 2 min. estimate the amount of work that was required of the machinery to rotate the passengers alone. assume each passenger had a mass of 89 kg.

Achild throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. the ball leaves her hand 1.00 m above the ground. how long is the ball in flight before it hits the ground?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

What is the electric force acting between two charges of -0.0045 c and -0.0025 c that are 0.0060 m apart? use fe=kq1q2/r^2 and k = 9.00 x 10^9 n*m^2/c^2 a. 1.7 x 10^7 n b. -1.7 x 10^7 n c. -2.8 x 10^9 n d. 2.8 x 10^9 n
