Answer:

r = 20 m

Explanation:

The formula for the angular momentum of a rotating body is given as:

L = mvr

where,

L = Angular Momentum = 10000 kgm²/s

m = mass

v = speed = 2 m/s

r = radius of merry-go-round

Therefore,

10000 kg.m²/s = mr(2 m/s)

m r = (10000 kg.m²/s)/(2 m/s)

m r = 5000 kg.m   ------------- equation 1

Now, the moment of inertia of a solid uniform disc about its axis through its center is given as:

I = (1/2) m r²

where,

I = moment of inertia = 50000 kg.m²

Therefore,

50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(m r)(r)

using equation 1, we get:

50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(5000 kg.m)(r)

(50000 kg.m²)/(2500 kg.m) = r

<u>r = 20 m</u>

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as:Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h
