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.

What would happen if you use a thicker wire around the iron nail of an electromagnet? (thats the whole question)
puteri [66]

Answer:

When we have a current I, we will have a magnetic field perpendicular to this current.

Then if we have a wire in a "spring" form. then we will have a magnetic field along the center of this "spring".

Now suppose we put an iron object in the middle (where the magnetic field is) then we will magnetize the iron object.

Of course, the intensity of the magnetic field is proportional to the current, given by:

B = (μ*I)/(2*π*r)

Where:

μ is a constant, I is the current and r is the distance between to the current.

Now remember that for a resistor:

R = ρ*L/A

R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity, which depends on the material of the wire, L is the length of the wire, and A is the cross-section of the wire.

If we increase the area of the wire (if we use a thicker wire).

And the relation between resistance and current is:

I = V/R

Where V is the voltaje.

Now, if we use a thicker wire, then the cross-section area of the wire increases.

Notice in the resistance equation, that the cross-section area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area A, the resistance decreases.

And the resistance is on the denominator of the current equation, then if we decrease R, the current increases.

If the current increases, the magnetic field increases, which means that we will have a stronger electromagnet.

B. the distance the star is from Earth

Explanation:

The apparent magnitude of star is a function of its distance from the earth. It is one of the physical properties that is used to study a star.

The apparent magnitude of a star or other astronomical bodies is a measure of their brightness as seen from a location on the earth.

The apparent magnitude of a star depends on:

  • Distance of the star from the location on earth.
  • luminosity of the star
  • the particles along the part of the star and earth that cuts off the light the earth receives.

At what altitude above the earth's surface would the acceleration due to gravity be 4.9 m/s^2? Assume the mean radius of the ear
Mandarinka [93]
We apply the gravity calculation expressed in the formula: g=GM/r2 
where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass and r is the radius
r=√GM/g
(1)       Radius = √6.674e-11*5.972e24/8             = 7058 kms    Earth radius or surface of earth from center of earth= 6400 kmsSo r= 658 kms from surface of earth.
Gravity 8m/s2 will be at 658 kms from surface of earth.
(2) half gravity= 9.8/2= 4.9 m/s2     Radius=√6.674e-11*5.972e24/4.9                 = 9019 kms        Half Gravity will exist at 9019-6400= 2619 kms from surface of earth.

1. A truck with a mass of 8, 000 kg is traveling at 26.8 m/s when it hits the brakes. A.)What is the momentum of the truck befor
NikAS [45]

Answer:

1. A.) The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes is 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The force it takes to stop the truck is approximately 17,290.4 N

Explanation:

1. A.) The given parameters are;

The mass of the truck, m = 8,000 kg

The velocity of the truck when it hits the brakes, u = 26.8 m/s

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

The moment of the truck = The mass of the truck × The velocity of the truck

Therefore;

The moment of the truck before it hits the brakes = 8,000 kg × 26.8 m/s = 214,400 kg·m/s

B.) The amount of momentum lost when the truck comes to a stop = The initial momentum of the truck

The time it takes the truck to come to a complete stop, t = 12.4 s

The deceleration, "a" of the truck is given by the following kinematic equation of motion

v = u - a·t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the truck = 0 m/s

u = The initial velocity = 26.8 m/s

a = the deceleration of the truck

t = The time of deceleration of the truck = 12.4 s

Substituting the known values gives;

0 = 26.8 - a × 12.4

Therefore;

26.8 = a × 12.4

a = 26.8/12.4 ≈ 2.1613

The deceleration (negative acceleration) of the truck, a ≈ 2.1613 m/s²

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force required to stop the truck = The mass pf the truck × The deceleration (negative acceleration) given to the truck

∴ The force it takes to stop the truck = 8,000 kg × 2.1613 m/s² ≈ 17,290.4 N.
