Answer:
The correct answer is Dean has a period greater than San
Explanation:
Kepler's third law is an application of Newton's second law where the force is the universal force of attraction for circular orbits, where it is obtained.
T² = (4π² / G M) r³
When applying this equation to our case, the planet with a greater orbit must have a greater period.
Consequently Dean must have a period greater than San which has the smallest orbit
The correct answer is Dean has a period greater than San
Answer:
the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 38.04 kg.m²
Explanation:
We are given;
Initial angular velocity; ω_1 = 37 rpm
Final angular velocity; ω_2 = 19 rpm
mass of child; m = 15.5 kg
distance from the centre; r = 1.55 m
Now, let the moment of inertia of the merry go round be I.
Using the principle of conservation of angular momentum, we have;
I_1 = I_2
Thus,
Iω_1 = I'ω_2
where I' is the moment of inertia of the merry go round and child which is given as I' = mr²
Thus,
I x 37 = ( I + mr²)19
37I = ( I + (15.5 x 1.55²))19
37I = 19I + 684.7125
37I - 19 I = 684.7125
18I = 684.7125
I = 684.7125/18
I = 38.04 kg.m²
Thus, the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 38.04 kg.m²
