The linear velocity of the wheel is 16 m/s.

<h3 /><h3>What is linear velocity?</h3>

Linear velocity is the rate of change of displacement with regard to time when the object is moving in a straight line

To calculate the linear velocity of the wheel, we use the formula below.

Formula:

v = ωr............. Equation 1

Where:

v = Linear velocity
ω = Angular velocity
r = Radius of the wheel.

From the question,

Given:

ω = 20 rad/s
r = 0.80 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v = 20(0.8)
v = 16 m/s.

Hence, The linear velocity of the wheel is 16 m/s.

A swimmer of mass 64.38 kg is initially standing still at one end of a log of mass 237 kg which is floating at rest in water. He

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.9432 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of swimmer;m_s = 64.38 kg

Mass of log; m_l = 237 kg

Velocity of swimmer; v_s = 3.472 m/s

Now, if we consider the first log and the swimmer as our system, then the force between the swimmer and the log and the log and the swimmer are internal forces. Thus, there are no external forces and therefore momentum must be conserved.

So;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m_l × v_l = m_s × v_s

Where v_l is speed of the log relative to water

Making v_l the subject, we have;

v_l = (m_s × v_s)/m_l

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v_l = (64.38 × 3.472)/237

v_l = 0.9432 m/s

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 50 kg and a diameter of 4.0 m. There are 4 children who want to ride on it. They have

mixer [17]

Answer:

B) I1 = 1680 kg.m^2 I2 = 1120 kg.m^2

C) V = 0.84m/s T = 29.92s

D) ω2 = 0.315 rad/s

Explanation:

The moment of inertia when they are standing on the edge:

$I1 = 1/2*M*R^2 + (m1+m2+m3+m4)*R^2$ where M is the mass of the merry-go-round.

I1 = 1680 kg.m^2

The moment of inertia when they are standing half way to the center:

$I2 = 1/2*M*R^2 + (m1+m2+m3+m4)*(R/2)^2$

I2 = 1120 kg.m^2

The tangencial velocity is given by:

V = ω1*R = 0.84m/s

Period of rotation:

T = 2π / ω1 = 29.92s

Assuming that there is no friction and their parents are not pushing anymore, we can use conservation of the angular momentum to calculate the new angular velocity:

I1*ω1 = I2*ω2 Solving for ω2:

ω2 = I1*ω1 / I2 = 0.315 rad/s
