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 space probe is coasting through space at a steady speed of 100p feet per second. the booster rocket fires for 1/2 seconds so t
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration: 9800 ft/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the space probe in this problem, we have:

u = 100 ft/s (initial velocity)

v = 5000 ft/s (final velocity)

t = 0.5 s (time taken)

Therefore, the acceleration is

a=\frac{5000-100}{0.5}=9800 ft/s^2

uranmaximum [27]
<h2>Apartment Explosion Reported </h2>

The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. The heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat is provided then temperature increases and the molecules of substances move rapidly by increase of kinetic energy (K.E) temperature increases. It is understood that heat increases temperature.
