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

The volumes of a sample of lead and a sample of platinum are the same: 2 cm3. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3 and the density

Vlad1618 [11]

The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.

A 180 g model airplane charged to 18 mC and traveling at 2.2 m/s passes within 8.6 cm of a wire, nearly parallel to its path, ca

viva [34]

Answer:

$a=0.2*10^{-5}g$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $M=180=>0.18kg$

Charge $Q=18mC=18*10^-^3C$

Velocity $v=2.2m/s$

Length of Wire $L=8.6cm=>0.086$

Current $I=30A$

Generally the equation for Magnetic Field of Wire B is mathematically given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0*I}{2\pi*l}$

$B=\frac{4*3.14*10^-^7*I}{2*3.14*8.6}$

$B=6.978*10^{-5}T$

Generally the equation for Force on the plane F is mathematically given by

$F=qvB$

Therefore

$ma=qvB$

$a=\frac{qvB}{m}$

$a=\frac{18*10^{-5}83.4*6.978*10^{-5}}{0.18kg}$

$a=2.37*10^{-5}$

Therefore in Terms of g's

$a=\frac{2.37*10^{-5}}{9.8}$

$a=0.2*10^{-5}g$

As ice melts, more sunlight is absorbed. As more sunlight is absorbed, the atmosphere heats up. As the atmosphere heats up, more

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: Conduction

Explanation: As ice melts,more sunlight is absorbed,as more sunlight is absorbed,the atmosphere heats up,as the atmosphere heats up,more ice melts. This whole process is known as CONDUCTION.

Conduction occurs when there is different temperature between two materials, when there exist a transfer energy(i.e transfer from higher-energy atoms in the hot region to the lower-energy atoms in the cold region). When the atmosphere is heated up due to sunlight,there is a rise in temperature which makes the ice to melt due to transfer of warmth it absorbed from sunlight.
