A carnival ride has a 2m radius and rotates once in 0.90s, moving at a constant speed of 14 m/s. Find:
a) the centripetal force acting on a 60 kg rider
b) the centripetal acceleration of a rider.

Power can be defined as a. the distance over which work was done. b. how much work can be done in a given time. c. all the work in an given area. d. the energy required to do work.

At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.

Which statement is true if the refractive index of medium a is greater than that of medium b? a. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from air to medium b to medium a. b. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from medium a to medium b. c. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from medium b to medium a. d. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from air to medium a. e. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from air to medium b.
