A 50.0 kg child stands at the rim of a merry-go-round of radius 1.50 m, rotating with an angular speed of 3.00 rad/s. (a) what i

s the child's centripetal acceleration? incorrect: your answer is incorrect. m/s2 (b) what is the minimum force between her feet and the floor of the merry-go-round that is required to keep her in the circular path? n (c) what minimum coefficient of static friction is required? is the answer you found reasonable? in other words, is she likely to be able to stay on the merry-go-round?

Weight of the child m = 50 kg 
Radius of the merry -go-around r = 1.50 m
 Angular speed w = 3.00 rad/s
 (a)Child's centripetal acceleration will be a = w^2 x r = 3^2 x 1.50 => a = 9 x
1.5
 Centripetal Acceleration a = 13.5m/sec^2
 (b)The minimum force between her feet and the floor in circular path
 Circular Path length C = 2 x 3.14 x 1.50 => c = 3 x 3.14 => C = 9.424
 Time taken t = 2 x 3.14 / w => t = 6.28 / 3 => t = 2.09
 Calculating velocity v = distance / time = 9.424 / 2.09 m/s => v = 4.5 m/s
 Calculating force, from equation F x r = mv^2 => F = mv^2 / r => 50 x (4.5)^2

/ 1.5
 F = 50 x 3 x 4.5 => F = 150 x 4.5 => F = 675 N
 (c)Minimum coefficient of static friction u
 F = u x m x g => u = F / m x g => u = 675/ 50 x 9.81 => 1.376 
 u = 1.376
 Hence with the force and the friction coefficient she is likely to stay on merry-go-around.

Assume that the amplifiers on the stage operate at a combined power of 5,000 Watts, and that 80% of this is converted to sound.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

0.04

Explanation:

Fraction of power converted to sound = 80% = 0.08

Fraction incident upon each eardrum onstage = 0.08/2 = 0.04

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.
