Periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation by a body in circular motion. In this case the merry-go round takes 2 minutes to cover 15 complete oscillations. 2 Minutes = 120 seconds
Hence, 15 oscillations takes 120 secs
         thus 1 oscillation takes 120/15 = 8 seconds
therefore the period of the merry-go-round = 8 seconds

A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle of 36 degrees below the horizontal. the loaded cart
Troyanec [42]

Since it was stated that it must move at constant velocity, so the only force it must overpower is the frictional force.

So the equation is:

F cos θ = Ff

F cos 36 = 65 N

F = 80.34 N

 

<span>So the nurse must exert 80.34 N of force</span>

The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (A). Now, assume that the current delivered at a wall socket reaches the
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

T = 0.017s

Explanation:

period is the time it takes a particle to make one oscillation

An electric current is periodic in nature

The current reaches 3.8A  ten times.  

So there must have been 10 cycles (10 periods) in 0.17s.   let 'T'  be the period:

T=\frac{t}{n}

t is the total time interval

n is the number of oscillations

T=\frac{0.17}{10}

10T = 0.17

T = 0.17/10 = 0.017s

A ball is dropped from rest at height of 20m. If it loses 25% of its kinetic energy when it strikes the ground. What is the heig
victus00 [196]

Answer:

15 meters

Explanation:

The inicial energy of the ball is just potencial energy, and its value is:

E = m * g * h = m * g * 20,

where m is the ball mass, and g is the value of gravity.

In the moment that the ball strickes the ground, all potencial energy transformed into kinetic energy, and 25% of this energy is lost, so the total energy at this moment will be:

E' = 0.75 * E = 0.75 * m * g * 20 = 15*m*g

This kinetic energy will make the ball goes up again, and at the maximum height, all kinetic energy is transformed back into potencial energy.

So, as the mass and the gravity are constants, we can calculate the height the ball will reach:

E' = m*g*h = 15*m*g -> h = 15 meters

A 50g ball is released from rest 1.0 above the bottom of thetrack
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 50 g

Height = 1.0 m

Angle = 30°

The equation is

y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

\Delta U_{i}+\Delta K_{i}=\Delta K_{f}+\Delta U_{f}

Here, ball at rest so initial kinetic energy is zero and at the bottom the potential energy is zero

\Delta U_{i}=\Delta K_{f}

Put the value into the formula

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0=\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times v^2

v^2=\dfrac{2\times50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times1.0}{50\times10^{-3}}

v=\sqrt{19.6}

v=4.42\ m/s

We need to calculate the maximum height of the ball

Using again conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

Here, h = y highest point

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{2}\times50\times10^{-3}\times(4.42)^2=50\times10^{-3}\times9.8\times h

y=\dfrac{0.5\times(4.42)^2}{9.8}

y=0.996\ m

Put the value of y in the given equation

y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2

x^2=4\times0.996

x=\sqrt{4\times0.996}

x=1.99\ m\ \approx 2 m

Hence, The maximum height of the ball is 2 m.
