Three horses are side-by-side on a merry-go-round: one at the edge, one near the axis, and one in between. Each horse has the sa

Answer:

one at the edge

Explanation:

The relation between the linear velocity and the angular velocity is given by

v = r x ω

Where, v be the linear velocity, ω be the angular velocity and r be the radius of the circular path.

As the angular velocity is constant, thus, the linear velocity depends on the radius of circular path.

So, the horse which is near to the edge has maximum radius of circular path in which it is rotating. So, the horse which is at the edge of the merry go round has maximum linear speed.

an elevator suspended by a vertical cable is moving downward but slowing down. the tension in the cable must be:
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = M a is the vector equation involved

F = T - M g      are the forces acting on the elevator   (scalar equation)

T - M g = M a

T = M (a + g)    remember this a scalar

If a is slowing down then it must have a positive acceleration upwards

Therefor the tension in the cable must be greater than zero

When the tension increases to M g, a has increased to zero

For a to be zero, no acceleration, T = M g

What affects fuel consumption in automobiles?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A and C

Explanation:

drag (the area of lower air pressure behind the car when moving) and mostly air resistance (the work to push the air in front of us away to move through - the faster we go, the stronger the air resists to move aside).

A diamond is cut such that the angle between its top surface and its bottom surface is α. For α=45∘, find the largest possible v
Reil [10]

Answer:

i = 61 degree

Explanation:

Given,

\alpha =45^{o}

Now, by the snell's law

sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{n}\\sin\theta_c=\frac{1}{2.450}\\\theta_c=24.09^o

Now,

Sin i / sin r = n 2 / n 1

sin i / sin r (45 - 24.09) = 2.45 / 1

i = 60.97 degree

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi
eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.
