A baby carriage is sitting at the top of a hill that is 21 m high. The carriage with the baby weighs 12 N. The carriage has pote
1 answer:
The gravitational potential energy is 252 J
Explanation:
The Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) of an object is given by
where
W is the weight of the object
h is the height of the object above the ground
For the carriage and the baby in this problem, we have
W = 21 N is their weight
h = 21 m is their height above the ground
Substituting,

Answer:
They both have the same angular speed.
Explanation:
The mathematical formula for angular speed is:
where is angular speed,
is a constant, and
is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).
What we can see from the formula is that, since the does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.
In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.
Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by
will also be the same
