A Ferris wheel with 60 spokes has a diameter of 100 m. It makes one rotation every 60 seconds. Find the speed of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate. A. 5.24 m/s
B. 6.23 m/s
C. 7.45 m/s
D. 8.01 m/s

v = 5.24 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

No of spokes of a Ferris wheel = 60

The diameter of a wheel, d = 100 m

Radius, r = 50 m

It makes one rotation every 60 seconds.

We need to find the speed of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate. Let it is v. It can be calculated as follows :

or

v = 5.24 m/s

So, the speed of the passengers is 5.24 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (A).

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
