Activity No. 1: Being in Motion: Problem Solving
1. A plane can travel with a speed of 80 mi/hr with respect to the air. Determine the
resultant velocity of the plane (magnitude only) if it encounters a 10 mi/hr
tailwind.
Solution and Answer:
Resultant Velocity = 80 mi / hr + 10 mi / hr
Answer: 90 mi / hr

4. The tallest Ferris wheel in the world is located in Singapore. Standing 42 stories
high and holding as many as 780 passengers, the Ferris wheel has a diameter of
150 meters and takes approximately 30 minutes to make a full circle. Determine
the tangential velocity (in m/s) and the centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) of the
riders on the Singapore Flyer.
