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>

Which of the following statements are true?
aleksley [76]

Good conductors of electricity have larger conductivity values than insulators.

A material that obeys Ohm's law reasonably well is called an ohmic conductor or a linear conductor.

The resistance of a conductor is proportional to the conductivity of the material of which the conductor is composed.

Answer: Options 1, 2 and 4.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an article or kind of material that permits the progression of charge in at least one headings. Materials made of metal are basic electrical conduits.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them. Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.
