An amusement park carousel travels at a speed of 8.0 m/s. If the circular track of the carousel has a
radius of 10.3 m, how many seconds will it take for the carousel to make one complete revolution?
10.3 m / 8.0 m/s =1.287 seconds
To find the time it takes for the carousel to make one complete revolution, we need to know the circumference of the circular track.
The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula: C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
Given that the radius of the carousel track is 10.3 m, we can calculate the circumference as follows:
C = 2 * π * 10.3
Now, we can determine the time it takes for the carousel to make one complete revolution by dividing the circumference by the speed of the carousel:
Time = Circumference / Speed
Time = (2 * π * 10.3) / 8.0
Calculating this gives us the time it takes for the carousel to make one complete revolution.
