Answer:
By convention a negative torque leads to clockwise rotation and a positive torque leads to counterclockwise rotation.
here weight of the child =21kgx9.8m/s2 = 205.8N
the torque exerted by the child Tc = - (1.8)(205.8) = -370.44N-m ,negative sign is inserted because this torque is clockwise and is therefore negative by convention.
torque exerted by adult Ta = 3(151) = 453N , counterclockwise torque.
net torque Tnet = -370.44+453 =82.56N , which is positive means counterclockwise rotation.
b) Ta = 2.5x151 = 377.5N-m
Tnet = -370.44+377.5 = 7.06N-m , positive ,counterclockwise rotation.
c)Ta = 2x151 = 302N-m
Tnet = -370.44+302 = -68.44N-m, negative,clockwise rotation.
2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!
Centripetal force is equal to (mv^2)/r
The way I use to answer these question is to set every variable to 1
m=1
v=1
r=1
so centripetal force =1
then change the variable we're looking at
and since we're find when it's half we could either change it to 1/2 or 2, but 2 is easier to use
m=1
v=2
r=1
((1)×(2)^2)/1=4
So the velocity in the 1st part is half the velocity in the 2nd part and the centripetal force is 4× less
The answer is the centripetal force is 1/4 as big the second time around
