D)falls with a constant speed of -9.8 m/s.

Aferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 9 m. riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. the ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 9 s. consider a rider whose mass is 56 kg. at the bottom of the ride, what is the perpendicular component of the rate of change of the rider's momentum? at the bottom of the ride, what is the vector force exerted by the seat on the rider?

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

An ideal polarizer with its transmission axis rotated 30 degrees to the vertical is placed in a beam of unpolarized light of intensity 10w/m^2. after passing through the polarizer, what is the intensity of the beam? a. 8.7 w/m^2 b. 7.5 w/m^2 c. 5.0 w/m^2 d. 10 w/m^2 e. 2.5 w/m^2
