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 diffraction grating with 1000 lines per mm is used in a spectrometer to measure the wavelengths of light emitted from a gas di
frez [133]

Answer:

= 9.8°

Explanation:

Width of one slit (a₁ ) = 1 / 1000 mm=0.001 mm = 10⁻⁶ m.

width of one slit in case 2 (a₂ ) = 1/500 =2 x 10⁻⁶ m

angular position of fringe, Sinθ  = n λ /a

n is order of fringe , λ is wave length of light and a  is slit aperture

So Sinθ  ∝ 1 / a

Sin θ₁ /Sin θ₂ = a₂/a₁ ;

Sin20°/sinθ₂ = 2 / 1

sinθ₂ = Sin 20° / 2 = .342/2 = .171

θ₂ = 9.8 °

A ball is dropped off the roof of a tall building. If the ball reaches the ground in 8 seconds, how tall is the building, in met
Ghella [55]

Let <em>b</em> be the height of the building, and <em>y</em> the height of the ball at time <em>t</em>, given by

<em>y</em> = <em>b</em> - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

It takes the ball 8 s to reach the ground, at which point <em>y</em> = 0, so that

0 = <em>b</em> - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 313.6 m

A box has a weight of 150 N and is being pulled across a horizontal floor by a force that has a magnitude of 110 N. The pulling
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

42.99°

Explanation:

F_h = Kinetic friction force

F_{\theta} = Pulling force at angle \theta

N_h = Weight of the box = 150 N

Kinetic friction force

F_h=\muN_h

Pulling force at angle \theta

F_{\theta}=\muN_{\theta}

N = Pulling force

According to question

\frac{F_h}{F_{\theta}}=\frac{2}{1}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\muN_h}{\muN_{\theta}}=2\\\Rightarrow \frac{N_h}{N_{\theta}}=2\\\Rightarrow N_{\theta}=\frac{N_h}{2}\\\Rightarrow N_{\theta}=\frac{150}{2}\\\Rightarrow N_{\theta}=75\ N

Applying Newton's second law in the vertical direction we get

N_h-Nsin\theta=N_{\theta}\\\Rightarrow 150-110sin\theta=75\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\frac{75}{110}\\\Rightarrow \theta=42.99\ ^{\circ}

The angle is 42.99°
