Question

Angular and linear speed

A Ferris wheel at a carnival has a diameter of 

16

 meters. Suppose a passenger is traveling at 9 kilometers per hour. (A useful fact: 

=1km1000m

.
)
(a) Find the angular speed of the wheel in radians per minute.

(b) Find the number of revolutions the wheel makes per hour. (Assume the wheel does not stop.)

Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest whole number.

    This is in regarding centripetal force (university physics 1): The London Eye Ferris wheel has a diameter of 120 m and rotates at 2 revolutions per hour. This is so slow that any change in perceived normal force is minimal. However, you decide it is your destiny to help tourists experience physics, so you increase its speed to 2 rpm (revolutions per minute). a) By what percentage does a passenger feel heavier than normal weight at the very bottom? b)...
