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

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.
charle [14.2K]

Answer: 0.00024\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is r=0.4\ mm

Angular acceleration \alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is  given as

\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r

Insert the values

\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2

A silver wire with resistivity 1.59 × 10-8 Ω-m carries a current density of 4.0 A/mm2, What is the magnitude of the electric fie
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Electric field, E = 0.064 V/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistivity of silver wire, \rho=1.59\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

Current density of the wire, J=4\ A/mm^2=4\times 10^6\ A/m^2

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field inside the wire. The relationship between electric field and the current density is given by :

E=J\times \rho

E=4\times 10^6\times 1.59\times 10^{-8}

E = 0.0636 V/m

or

E = 0.064 V/m

So, the magnitude of electric field inside the wire is 0.064 V/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Ahab has been sent to the shops by his mother. The shops are 1200 m from his
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

it will take him 200secs to run to the shops

(btw 200 seconds is 3minutes and 20secs)

Explanation:

distance = speed x time

time = distance / speed

1200 ÷ 6 = 200

time = 200seconds

hope this helps
