A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.6 m from the center of the ride. then the operator turns on the rid

e and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 5.5 s. what is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding?

<span>Radius = 4.6 m
 Time for one complete rotation t = 5.5 s.
 Distance = 2 x 3.14 x R = 2 x 3.14 x 4.6 m = 28.888.
 Velocity V = distance / time = 28.888 / 5.5 s = 5.25 m/s
 Force exerted by cat Fc = mV^2 / R = (mx 5.25^2) / 4.6 m
  Force of the cat Fc = 6m, m being the mass.
 Normal force = Us x m x g = Us x m x 9.81 = Us9.81m
 equating the both forces => Us9.81m = 6m => Us = 6 / 9.81 => Us = 0.6116 So coefficient of static friction = 0.6116</span>

A transformer has a primary voltage of 115 V and a secondary voltage of 24 V. If the number of turns in the primary is 345, how
Eduardwww [97]
Here's a fun and useful factoid:

               The ratio of the voltages on a transformer is the same
               as the ratio of the number of turns in each winding.

So the ratio of  (345 to the secondary turns)  is  (115V to 24V).

That's a proportion.

                 (115/24)  =  (345/x)

I'll bet you can take it and solve it from here.
Just cross-multiply in the proportion and etc. etc.

A ski hill is angled 20° above the horizontal. If a skier starts from rest at the top of the hill, how fast will she be travelin
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

First, we calculate for the acceleration down the incline using a = gsin\theta.

a = (9.80)sin(20°)

a = 3.35

Then, we use one of the kinematics equations, {v_{f}}^{2} = {v_{i}}^{2} + 2 a\Delta s.

v_{i} = 0 m/s

a = 3.35

\Delta s = 62 m

v_{f} = \sqrt{2(3.35)(62)}

v_{f} =20.381 = 20 m/s
