An antique carousel that’s powered by a large electric motor undergoes constant angular acceleration from rest to full rotationa

l speed in 5.00 seconds. When the ride ends, a brake causes it to decelerate steadily from full rotational speed to rest in 11.0 seconds. Compare the torque that starts the carousel to the torque that stops it. τstart/τstop = the tolerance is +/-2%

1) For a rotating object, we can write the analogous of Newton's second law as
\tau = I \alpha
where \tau is the torque applied to the object, I is the moment of inertia and \alpha is the angular acceleration.

2) We can write the ratio between the starting torque and the stopping torque as:
\frac{\tau _{start}}{\tau _{stop}} =  \frac{I \alpha _{start}}{I \alpha _{stop}}   =  \frac{ \alpha _{start}}{\alpha _{stop}}

3) Then, we can rewrite the two angular accelerations. The general formula is
\alpha =  \frac{\omega _f - \omega _i}{t}
where \omega _f and \omega _i are the final and initial angular velocities, while t is the time. 

4) Let's start by calculating the starting acceleration. In this case, the initial velocity is zero, while the final velocity is the full rotational speed (let's call it \omega _{max}, and the time is t=5.0 s:
\alpha _{start} =  \frac{\omega_{max}-0}{5 s}=  \frac{\omega_{max}}{5 s}=
When the carousel stops, instead, the initial velocity is \omega _{max} while the final velocity is 0, and the time is t=11.0 s:
\alpha _{stop} =  \frac{0-\omega _{max}}{11 s}= \frac{-\omega _{max}}{11 s}
Therefore, if we replace the two angular accelerations that we found into the formula of the torque ration written at step 2), we find:
\frac{\tau _{start}}{\tau _{stop}} = - \frac{11}{5}
where the negative sign simply means that the two torques have opposite direction. Therefore, the ratio between starting and stopping torque is 11:5.

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

or

p = mv

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s

Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Hence, the momentum of the man is 20kgm/s

A hot iron ball of mass 200 g is cooled to a temperature of 22°C from 100°C. How much heat was
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Q= -6900 J

Explanation:

use the formula Q=mC(T_2 - T_1) and sub in givens

Q=mC(T_2 - T_1)

Q= (200 g)(0.444 J/g°C)(22-100)

Q= -6900 J

The negative sign means heat is lost, which agrees with the decrease in temperature

Which of the following is an agent of socialization?
Verdich [7]
<span>Socialization is a way of interacting to other people and in return, gaining insights as well as part of learning process. Above choices are all agents of socialization so that is letter D: all of the above. A grandparent can teach you lessons of his experiences in life since he is older than you. Television is a medium to be able to know how to interact with people by basing on it and learning with whatever is shown. School is an area where different people of different ages convene and learn together. This give you the opportunity to learn from different personalities of ages and experiences.</span>

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the arti
dusya [7]

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102

which we can round to 9155 years old.
