A man with mass 60 kg rides a Ferris wheel that has a radius of 20 m. The man is sitting on a scale. If the man's translational (linear) speed during the ride is a constant 5 m/s, what would the scale read at top of the ride

75N

Explanation:

in this problem we are expected to solve for the force, and this force, is the centripetal force exerted on the man/

we know that the expression for the centripetal force is given as

F=mv^2/r

given data

mass, m=60kg

radius, r= 20m

velocity, v= 5m/s

Substituting into the expression we have

F=60*5^2/20

F=60*25/20

F=1500/20

F=75N

The reading at the top of the ride will be 75N

answer and explanation;

composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock while texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock. both composition and texture can be used to classify rocks, such as igneous rocks. texture describes how the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, melted rock. composition of a rock describes the minerals that make up a particular rock.
