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>

Two large thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge of
wariber [46]

Answer:

For left = 0  N/C

For right = 0  N/C

At middle = -7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i}  N/C

Explanation:

Given data :-

б =6.8 * 10^{-22} C/ m²

Considering the two thin metal plates to be non conducting sheets of charges.

Electric field is given by

E = \frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon }

1) To the left of the plate

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})   = 0 N/C.

2) To the right of them.

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(\vec{i})   = 0 N/C.

3) Between them.

\vec{E}= (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i})+  (\frac{\sigma }{2\varepsilon })(-\vec{i}) = (\frac{\sigma }{\varepsilon })(-\vec{i}) = -\frac{6.8 * 10^{-22} }{8.85 * 10 ^{-12} }  \vec{i} =   -7.6836 * 10^{-11} \vec{i} N/C

Which statement correctly describes mass-energy equivalence? All energy in the universe will be converted to an equivalent amoun
olchik [2.2K]

The statement 'all energy in the universe is a result of mass being converted into energy' correctly describes mass-energy equivalence.

<h3>What is mass-energy equivalence?</h3>

The expression mass-energy equivalence refers to the proportion of matter that can be converted into energy in the universe.

This mass-energy equivalence is an outcome of process of converting mass into energy.

In conclusion, the statement 'all energy in the universe is a result of mass being converted into energy' correctly describes mass-energy equivalence.

Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun
Shalnov [3]

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.
