The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which can function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s).

(a) Find the speed of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate.
(b) A passenger weighs 882 N at the weight-guessing booth on the ground. What is his apparent weight at the highest and at the lowest point on the Ferris wheel?
(c) What would be the time for one revolution if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero?
(d) What then would be the passenger’s apparent weight at the lowest point?

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

Which of these is not a possible type of energy transformation? a. electrical energy into light energy b. sound energy into nuclear energy c. potential energy into kinetic energy d. kinetic energy into mechanical energy

9.98 kg of r-134a at 300 kpa fills a rigid container whose volume is 14 l. determine the temperature and total enthalpy in the container. the container is now heated until the pressure is 600 kpa. determine the temperature and total enthalpy when the heating is completed. use data from the steam tables.
