Chapter 4.1, Problem 1cT

Suppose the wheel makes one complete revolution in 2 seconds.

  1. For each of the following points, find the change in angle Δ θ of the position vector during one second. (i.e., Find the angle between the initial position vectors.)

  • point A
  • point B
  • point C

A Ferris wheel with radius 12.0 m is turning about a horizontal axis through its center in (Figure 1). The linear speed of a passenger on the rim is constant and equal to 6.40 m/s. A) What is the magnitude of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the lowest point in her circular motion? (Express your answer with the appropriate units.) B) What is the direction of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the lowest point in her circular motion? (Is it "Towards the center" or "outwards from the center"?) C) What is the magnitude of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the highest point in her circular motion? (Express your answer with the appropriate units) D) What is the direction of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through the highest point in her circular motion (Is it "Towards the center" or "outwards from the center"?) E) How much time does it take the Ferris wheel to make one revolution? (Express your answer with the appropriate units.…
