A playground carousel is free to rotate about its center on frictionless bearings, and air resistance is negligible. The carouse

l itself (without riders) has a moment of inertia of 125 kg·m2. When one person is standing on the carousel at a distance of 1.50 m from the center, the carousel has an angular velocity of 0.600 rad/s. However, as this person moves inward to a point located 0.905 m from the center, the angular velocity increases to 0.800 rad/s. What is the person’s mass?

Answer:

m = 35.98 Kg ≈ 36 Kg

Explanation:

I₀ = 125 kg·m²

R₁ = 1.50 m

ωi = 0.600 rad/s

R₂ = 0.905 m

ωf = 0.800 rad/s

m = ?

We can apply The law of conservation of angular momentum as follows:

Linitial = Lfinal

⇒    Ii*ωi = If*ωf   <em>(I)</em>

where    

Ii = I₀ + m*R₁² = 125 + m*(1.50)² = 125 + 2.25*m

If = I₀ + m*R₂² = 125 + m*(0.905)² = 125 + 0.819025*m

Now, we using the equation <em>(I) </em>we have

(125 + 2.25*m)*0.600 = (125 + 0.819025*m)*0.800

⇒  m = 35.98 Kg ≈ 36 Kg

A) Millions of years of rain and wind
barxatty [35]

Answer:

B. Millions of years of high pressure and temperature.

  • Millions of years of high pressure and temperature the ancient forests turn into fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels were formed from the dead remains of living organisms millions of years ago. They were formed under high pressure and high temperature.

  • Coal : about 300 million years ago the earth had this forest in low lying wetland areas. Due to natural processes like flooding, these forest god buried under the soil. As more soil deposited over them, they were compressed. Under high pressure and high temperature, dead plants got slowly converted into coal.
  • Petroleum : Petroleum was formed from organisms living in the sea. As these organisms died, their bodies settled at the bottom of the sea and got covered with layers of soil and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high pressure and high temperature transformed the dead organisms into Petroleum.

Coal, Petroleum and natural gas are fossil fuels.

A wire carrying an electric current is often likened to a pipe carrying water. What part of this analogy is incorrect?
tamaranim1 [39]

In a direct current (DC) electrical circuit, the voltage (V in volts) is an expression of the available energy per unit charge which drives the electric current (I in amperes) around a closed circuit. Increasing the resistance (R in ohms) will proportionately decrease the current which may be driven through the circuit by the voltage.

Each quantity and each operational relationship in a battery-operated DC circuit has a direct analog in the water circuit. The nature of the analogies can help develop an understanding of the quantities in basic electric ciruits. In the water circuit, the pressure P drives the water around the closed loop of pipe at a certain volume flow rate F. If the resistance to flow R is increased, then the volume flow rate decreases proportionately. You may click any component or any relationship to explore the the details of the analogy with a DC electric circuit.
