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.

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp
maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = \dfrac{N}{C}m

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by:
Marina86 [1]

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by myelin sheath

thickness and internode distance.

Axon are structures in the neuron which is involved in the conduction of

impulses away from the cell body. Axons which have myelin sheath conduct

impulses faster than those without it.

Axons which have thicker myelin sheath and longer internode distance will

increase the conduction velocity of an axon and vice versa.

A phonograph record 0.15 m in its radius rotates 18 times per 90 seconds what is the frequency?
ioda

Answer:

The frequency of the phonograph record is 0.2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of an object moving in uniform circular motion is the number of completed cycles the object makes in a specified time period

The given parameters of the phonograph record are;

The radius of the record = 0.15 m

The number of times the phonograph record rotates, n = 18 times

The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times, t = 90 seconds

The frequency of the phonograph record, f = (The number of times the phonograph record rotates) ÷ (The time it takes the phonograph record to rotate the 18 times)

∴ The frequency of the phonograph record, f = n/t = 18/(90 s) = 0.2 Hz

The frequency of the phonograph record = 0.2 Hz.

How does an atom of potassium-41 become a potassium ion with a +1 charge? 19 K 39.10
stiv31 [10]

It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.

The answer is B which is exactly what happens.
