It is A Because Light doesn't need a medium but sound does so Light is more free than sound so light is going to be quicker

A playground merry-go-round has radius 2.40 m and moment of inertia 2100 kg⋅m2 about a vertical axle through its center, and it

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) 0.31 rad/s

b) 100 J

c) 6.67 W

Explanation:

(a) the force would generate a torque of:

$T = FR = 18 * 2.4 = 43.2 Nm$

According to Newton 2nd law, the angular acceleration would be

$\alpha = \frac{T}{I} = \frac{43.2}{2100} = 0.021 rad/s^2$

It starts from rest, then after 15s it would achieve a speed of

$\omega = \alpha t = 0.021 * 15 = 0.31 rad/s$

(b) The distance angle swept by it is:

$\theta = \frac{\alpha t^2}{2} = \frac{0.021 * 15^2}{2} = 2.314 rad$

Hence the work by the child

$W = T\theta = 43.2 *2.314 \approx 100 J$

c) Average power to work per time unit

$P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{100}{15} = 6.67 W$

On a frictionless surface how much force is necessary to accelerate a 0.49 kg object to the left at 4.8 m/s2?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

force = 0.49 × 4.8 = 2.352

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Amy throws a softball through the air. What are the different forces acting on the ball while it’s in the air?

aniked [119]

An applied force<span> is a </span>force<span> that is </span>applied<span> to an object by a person or another object.
An attractive force is a force of an attraction (where object are attracted by each other). Gravitation is an example of attractive force.
</span>Normal force<span> is the component, perpendicular to the surface (surface being a plane) of contact.
</span><span>The softball experiences an applied force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences attractive force from the air it passes through. It also experiences a downward pull because of the normal force.
Solution A.</span>

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding. Disregarding friction, what is the velo

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is the acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}$

v = 17.14 m/s

So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
