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

If a gas has a gage pressure or 156 kPa, it’s absolute pressure is approximately

Andre45 [30]

Answer: C

Gauge pressure = 156 kPa ,

What is absolute pressure =?

We know that,

absolute pressure = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure

Pabs = Pgauge + Patm

= 156 + 101.3 <em> </em><em> (since atm.pr. = 101.3 Kpa)</em>

<em> </em><em>= 257.3 KPa absoulte</em>

<em> approximately = 256 KPa absolue</em>

A rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 47.2 m/s2. Calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an a

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Approximately $4.61\times 10^{3}\; {\rm N}$ upwards (assuming that $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ .)

Explanation:

External forces on this astronaut:

Weight (gravitational attraction) from the earth (downwards,) and
Normal force from the floor (upwards.)

Let $(\text{normal force})$ denote the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut from the floor. Since the direction of the normal force is opposite to the direction of the gravitational attraction, the magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be:

$\begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned}$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of this astronaut. The magnitude of the gravitational attraction on this astronaut would be $(\text{weight}) = m\, g$ .

Let $a$ denote the acceleration of this astronaut. The magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be $(\text{net force}) = m\, a$ .

Rearrange $\begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned}$ to obtain an expression for the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut:

$\begin{aligned}(\text{normal force}) &= (\text{net force}) + (\text{weight}) \\ &= m\, a + m\, g \\ &= m\, (a + g) \\ &= 80.9\; {\rm kg} \times (47.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} + 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) \\ &\approx 4.61 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

In the reaction _S+302 +2SO3, what coefficient should be placed in front of the S to balance the reaction?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B. 2

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

_S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃

Now let us balanced the expression;

On the product side we have 2 moles of S

On the reactant side we should have 2moles of S

So, we put the coefficient 2 to balance the expression;

We have 6 moles oxygen on both sides

Joe balances a stationary coin on the the tip of his finger 20 cm from the top of the table. How much work is Joe doing?

adell [148]

The work done by Joe is 0 J.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When a force is applied to an object, there will be a movement because of the applied force to a certain distance. This transfer of energy when a force is applied to an object that tends to move the object is known as work done.

The energy is transferred from one state to another and the stored energy is equal to the work done.

W = F . D

where F represents the force in newton,

D represents the distance or displacement of an object.

Force = 0 N, D = 20 cm = 0.20 m

W = 0 $\times$ 0.20 = 0 J.

Hence the work done by Joe is 0 J.
