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.

From the first law of thermodynamics, we use the equation expressed as:

ΔH = Q + W

where Q is the heat absorbed of the system and W is the work done.

We calculate as follows:

ΔH = Q + W
ΔH = 829 J + 690 J = 1519 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

a flag of mass 2.5 kg is supported by a single rope. A strong horizontal wind exerts a force of 12 N on the flag. Calculate the
tatuchka [14]
The free-body diagram of the forces acting on the flag is in the picture in attachment.

We have: the weight, downward, with magnitude
W=mg = (2.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=24.5 N
the force of the wind F, acting horizontally, with intensity
F=12 N
and the tension T of the rope. To write the conditions of equilibrium, we must decompose T on both x- and y-axis (x-axis is taken horizontally whil y-axis is taken vertically):
T \cos \alpha -F=0
T \sin \alpha -W=
By dividing the second equation by the first one, we get
\tan \alpha =  \frac{W}{F}= \frac{24.5 N}{12 N}=2.04
From which we find
\alpha = 63.8 ^{\circ}
which is the angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal.

By replacing this value into the first equation, we can also find the tension of the rope:
T= \frac{F}{\cos \alpha}= \frac{12 N}{\cos 63.8^{\circ}}=27.2 N

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1.40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity= 17.4 m/s

time= 12.4 seconds

We want to find the acceleration of the rock

We know that

acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute

acceleration= 17.4/12.4

acceleration=1.40 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 1.40 m/s^2

the electric current in a wire is 1.5 A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2 s?​
34kurt

Answer:

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current (I) is the ratio of the quantity of charges (Q) that flows through a point to the time taken (t).

i.e            I = \frac{Q}{t}

It is measured in Ampere's by the use of an ammeter in the laboratory. The quantity of charge that flow through a given point is measured in Coulombs, while time is measured in seconds.

Given that;     I = 1.5A and t = 2s, find Q.

                          Q = It

                             = 1.5 × 2

                             = 3.0 C

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.
