Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a fixed sphere of radius R. If the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere?

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?

Afixed electric space heater wired by a cable with an ampacity of 30 a should draw a maximum current of a. 30 a. b. 24 a. c. 15 a. d. 27 a.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
