<span>Well, since it's in the shape of a wheel and the person walks around the edge of it, they must have a centripetal acceleration. Since a=v^2/r you can solve for "v" using 2.20 as your "a" and 59.5 as your "r" (r=half of the diameter).
</span> a=v^2/r 
 v=(a*r)^(1/2)=((2.20)*(59.5))^(1/2)=<span> <span>11.44 m/s.
</span></span><span> After you get "v," plugged that into T=2 pi r/ v. This will give you the 1rev per sec.
</span> T=2 pi r/ v= T=(2)*(pi)*(59.5)/(11.44)= <span> <span>32.68 rev/s
</span></span> Use dimensional analysis to get rev per min (1rev / # sec) times (60 sec/min). 
 (32.68 rev/s)(60 s/min)=<span> <span>1960.74 rev/min
</span></span>

A vector points -43.0 units
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the direction of this vector we need o find the angle that has a tangent of the y-component over the x-component:

tan^{-1}(\frac{11.1}{-43.0})=-14.5 but since we are in Q2 we have to add 180 degrees to that angle giving us 165.5 degrees

Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body while holding a 2.0 kg mass in each hand. She then spins aroun
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s
