Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?.

1 answer:

3 0

For a merry go round with a radius of R=1.8 m and moment of inertia I=184 kg-m^2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of w=1.48 rad/s is mathematically given as

F= 618.9 N

<h3>What is the centripetal force?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the angular speed is mathematically given as

w = v/R

Therefore

w= 4.7/1.8

w= 2.611 rad/s

Where total momentum

Tm= 642.96 + 272.32

Tm= 915.28

and total inertia

Ti= 184 + 246.24

Ti= 430.24

In conclusion, centripetal force

F= mrw^2

F = m*R*w2^2

F = 76*1.8*2.127^2

F= 618.9 N

Which phenomenon occurs when a wave encounters a non–transmitting barrier

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Absorption

Explanation:

A non-transmitting barrier would not allow a wave to go through. When a wave is unable to pass through a barrier, it is not transmitted and can get absorbed or reflected back. The wave can also try to go round the barrier.

Most likely, the wave gets absorbed by the barrier and it stops it.

Describe, using the relevant physics, how moving a magnet near a [ 1 2 ] solenoid induces a voltage across it. How does the spee

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moving a magnet might cause a change in the magnetic field going through the solenoid. Whether or not it will change depends on the movement.

According to Faraday's law of induction a voltage is induced in a coil by a change in the magnetic flux. Magnetic flux is defined as the dot product of the magnetic field (a vector field) by the area enclosed by a loop of the coil.

$\Phi B = -\int{B} \, dA$

The voltage is induced by the variation of the magnetic flux:

$\epsilon = -N * \frac{d \Phi B}{dt}$

Where

ε: electromotive fore

N: number of turns in the coil

ΦB: magnetic flux

Moving the magnet faster would increase the rare of change of the magnetic flux, resulting in higher induced voltage.

Turning the magnet upside down would invert the direction of the magnetic field, reversing the voltage induced.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m$

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.
