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.

stiks02 [169]

The correct answer is 1.25 because it is 1/2 of 1 1/2 and that is 1.25.

When a system does work, what happens to its internal energy
tester [92]
The first law, which deals with changes in the internal energy, thus becomes 0 = Q - W, so Q = W.

If the system does work, the energy comes from heat flowing into the system from the reservoir; if work is done on the system, heat flows out of the system to the reservoir

A ski hill is angled 20° above the horizontal. If a skier starts from rest at the top of the hill, how fast will she be travelin
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

First, we calculate for the acceleration down the incline using a = gsin\theta.

a = (9.80)sin(20°)

a = 3.35

Then, we use one of the kinematics equations, {v_{f}}^{2} = {v_{i}}^{2} + 2 a\Delta s.

v_{i} = 0 m/s

a = 3.35

\Delta s = 62 m

v_{f} = \sqrt{2(3.35)(62)}

v_{f} =20.381 = 20 m/s

Jogger runs 400 m East in 120 s, then turns around and runs 250 m West in 90 seconds. Calculate the following values.
RSB [31]
First, we must recall that distance is the total length traveled by an object in which the direction of the motion does not matter. Meanwhile, displacement is the distance of the object from its starting point which means the directions matters for displacement. 

Now, speed is distance over time while velocity is displacement over time. Since we're talking about the same object's motion, the total time traveled is (120 + 90) = 210 seconds.

Now, the total distance traveled by the object is (400 + 250) = 650 m. Meanwhile the total displacement traveled by the object is  400 m, East + 250 m, West = 150 m, East.

Now, to find the speed and velocity, we just divide the values of distance and displacement, respectively, over time. Thus, we have

speed = 650 m / 210s ≈ 3.095 m/s
velocity = 150 m, East /210 s ≈ 0.714 m/s, East

Now, rounding the values up to 2  significant digits, we have

a) speed = 3.1 m/s
b) velocity = 0.71 m/s, East

A 10.0 cm3 sample of copper has a mass of 89.6
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Density is mass divides by volume, so
89.6g / 10cm^3 =8.96g /cm^3

*cm^3 is a standard unit of volume*
