Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 17 -foot-diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horse

s in the outer section at a distance of 8 feet from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 5 feet from the center.
(a) What is Mary's angular speed ωM compared to that of Alex's angular speed ωA ? Give your answer as a multiple of ωA.ωM=ωA
(b) What is Mary's tangential speed vM compared to that of Alex's tangential speed vA? Give your answer as a multiple of vA.vM=vA

Answer:

(a) ωM=ωA

(b) vA = (0.625)vM

Explanation:

The tangential velocity of the body  is calculated by the following formula:

v = ω*R  Formula (1)

where:

v is the tangential speed of the body in feet over second (ft/s)

ω is the angular speed in radians over second (rad/s)

R is the radius of the the body in the circular path in meters (m)

(a) What is Mary's angular speed ωM compared to that of Alex's angular speed ωA

The angular speed of Mary and Alex is determined by the angular speed of the carousel ( ωC),therefore it is the same for both:

ωM=ωC  ,  ωA=ωC

ωM=ωA

(b) What is Mary's tangential speed vM compared to that of Alex's tangential speed vA?

Data:

RM = 8 ft : Mary radio

RA = 5 ft : Alex radio

We apply the formula (1)

v = ω*R

vM  = ωC *8 : Mary's tangential speed

vA  = ωC *5 : Alex's tangential speed

We establish the relationship between vA and vM like this:

vA/vM = (ωC*5) / (ωC*8)

We cancel ωC

vA = (5/8)vM

vA = (0.625)vM

Wood has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy when burned in a fireplace. Which best explai
Marianna [84]

Answer:In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.

If the acceleration is constant, and the starting velocity is zero, the relationship between the acceleration of a falling body (a), the time it takes to fall (t), and instantaneous velocity when it hits the ground (v) is:

the general equation of acceleration is:

vf = vi + at

assuming the initial velocity (vi) is zero, the equation becomes:

vf = at 

v = at

c. A car was running with a velocity of 20m/s. what will be its velocity after 30s if it's acceleration is 5m/s2​
weqwewe [10]

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

let's use first equation of motion to solve this ;

  • \boxed{ \boxed{ v = u + at}}

  • v = 20 + (5 \times 30)

  • v = 20 + 150

  • v = 170 \:  \: m/s

Velocity after 30 seconds = 170 m/s
