In a playground, there is a small merry-go-round of radius 1.20 m and mass 160 kg. Its radius of gyration is 91.0 cm. (Radius of

gyration k is defined by the expression I=Mk2.) A child of mass 44.0 kg runs at a speed of 3.00 m/s along a path that is tangent to the rim of the initially stationary merry-go-round and then jumps on. Neglect friction between the bearings and the shaft of the merry-go-round. Calculate

Answer:

a) 145.6kgm^2

b) 158.4kg-m^2/s

c) 0.76rads/s

Explanation:

Complete qestion: a) the rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its axis of rotation 

(b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the child, while running, about the axis of rotation of the merry-go-round and

(c) the angular speed of the merry-go-round and child after the child has jumped on.

a) From I = MK^2

I = (160Kg)(0.91m)^2

I = 145.6kgm^2

b) The magnitude of the angular momentum is given by:

L= r × p The raduis and momentum are perpendicular.

L = r × mc

L = (1.20m)(44.0kg)(3.0m/s)

L = 158.4kg-m^2/s

c) The total moment of inertia comprises of the merry- go - round and the child. the angular speed is given by:

L = Iw

158.4kgm^2/s = [145kgm^2 + ( 44.0kg)(1.20)^2]

w = 158.6/208.96

w = 0.76rad/s

An object of mass 100kg is raised 2m above the ground using an Inclined Plane of length 10m calculate the effort parallel to inc
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Slope = 2 m / 10 m = 1/5

For every  5 m of effort the object will be raised 1 m

W = work done on object = M g h      increase in PE of object

E S = W      where E is effort and S the distance thru which the effort acts

E S = M g H

E = 100 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2 m / 10 m = 196 kg m / s^2 = 196 N

Check: total work = 2 * 9.8 * 100 = 1960 J

Force Needed = 1960 J / 2 m = 980 Newtons

Mechanical advantage = 980 / 196 = 5   as one would expect since the object is raised 1 m for every 5 m of force input

What is the word for a group of stars that’s not a constellation?.
Sever21 [200]
Asterism, a pattern of stars that is not a constellation. An asterism can be part of a constellation, such as the Big Dipper, which is in the constellation Ursa Major, and can even span across constellations, such as the Summer Triangle, which is formed by the three bright stars Deneb, Altair, and Vega.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

m = 80 kg

Explanation:

p = m × v

200 = m × 2.5

2.5m = 200

m = 200/2.5

m = 80 kg

A tow truck exerts a force of 1850 N on a 840 kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h2>2.2 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

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

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{1850}{840}  =  \frac{185}{84} \\   = 2.20238095...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
