from the center of the circular platform as Chuck, who rides on an inner horse. When the merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed, Andrea's tangential speed is which of the following? a) twice Chuck's b) the same as Chuck's c) half of Chuck's d) impossible to determine B. When the merry go round is rotating at a constant angular speed, Andrea's tangential speed is a) twice Chuck's b) the same as Chuck's

Answer: a) Twice Chuck's

Explanation:

If the angular speed is constant, as the merry - go -round is a rigid body, so the distance between two points must remain the same, it is needed that the points farther the center, move faster than the ones closer to it.

There exists a relationship between tangential and angular speed, as follows, that relates the definitions of linear and angular speed, and the angle definition:

angle = arc / radius ⇒ Δθ/Δt = Δs/Δt / r ⇒ ω = v/r ⇒ v = ω. r

If ω is constant, v is directly proportional to r, distance to the center (radius in a circular platform), so if r is twice for Andrea, her tangential speed must be twice Chuck's.

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr
Andre45 [30]
The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.

Two spherical objects have masses of 3.1 x 10^5 kg and 6.5 x 10^3 kg. The gravitational attraction between them is 65 N. How far
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

4.55 x 10⁹m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object 1  = 3.1 x 10⁵kg

Mass of object 2 = 6.5 x 10³kg

Gravitational force  = 65N

Unknown:

Distance between them  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below from the universal gravitational law;

    Fg  =    \frac{G mass 1 x mass 2}{distance ^{2} }  

   G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹

        65  = \frac{6.67 x 10^{11} x 3.1 x 10^{5} x 6.5 x 10^{3}   }{distance^{2} }    

   Distance  = 4.55 x 10⁹m

Using a horizontal force of 200 n, we intend to move a wooden cabinet across a floor at a constant velocity. What is the frictio
grin007 [14]

By using the second law of Newton, the frictional force is 200N.

We need to know about the second law of Newton (force) to solve this problem. The total force applied an object is proportional to the mass of object and acceleration. It can be defined as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

From the question above, we know that

F1 = 200N

v = constant therefore (a = 0 m/s²)

By using second law of Newton, we get

∑F = m . a

F1 - Ffriction = m . 0

200 - Ffriction = 0

Ffriction = 200 N

Hence, the frictional force is 200N.

2. Anna mixes 200 g of hot coffee at 90 °C with 50 g of cold water at 3 °C to bring down the temperature of the coffee. Explain
natka813 [3]

The average kinetic energy of the molecules of the coffee will decrease and the speed of the individual molecules will also reduce.

<h3>Temperature of resultant mixture</h3>

The temperature of the resultant mixture will be higher than the cold water temperature and lower than the hot coffee temperature.

Based on the decrease of the resulting temperature (equilibrium temperature) of the mixture, the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the coffee will decrease and the speed of the individual molecules of the hot coffee mixture will reduce, leading to a resultant cold mixture of coffee.
