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 motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled
wel
Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x

A bungee cord is 30m long and when stretched a distance x itexerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass95
madam [21]

Answer:

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as  y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the  force is  F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of  k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m

Now the force is

F=kx\\ or

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m

So the distance is 0.602 m
