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

What sort of process converts the mechanized energy in the ocean into electricity?
allochka39001 [22]
I think it is the wave energy. 
Wave energy also known as the ocean energy is the energy harnessed from the ocean or sea waves. It is a source of power that comes from the endless march of the waves as they roll into the shore then back out. Using wave energy is advantageous as they are environmental friendly as there are no harmful byproducts, and also the energy from waves can be taken directly into electricity-producing machinery and used to power generators.

A 2,200 kg railway freight car coasts at 3.6 m/s underneath a grain terminal, which dumps grain directly down into the freight c
suter [353]

Answer:

m_2=2554.83\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m_1=2200\ kg

Initial speed of the car, u=3.6\ m/s

Final speed of the car, v=3.1\ m/s

To find,

The maximum mass of grain that it can accept.

Solution,

We know that according to the law of conservation of momentum, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.

m_1u=m_2v

m_2=\dfrac{m_1u}{v}

m_2=\dfrac{2200\times 3.6}{3.1}

m_2=2554.83\ kg

Therefore, the maximum mass of grain that it can accept is 2554.83 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

In an electron cloud, an electron farther east away from the nucleus has?
vladimir2022 [97]

An electron that is far away from the nucleus have higher energy than an electron near the nucleus. Nucleus are positively charged and those electrons near it get attracted; those electrons gain kinetic energy hence reducing their internal energy. The electrons far from nucleus have low kinetic energy hence more internal energy.
