The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A merry-go-round rotates at the rate of 0.14 rev/s with an 84 kg man standing at a point 2.4 m from the axis of rotation. What is the new angular speed when the man walks to a point 0.6 m from the center? Assume that the merry-go-round is a solid 25-kg cylinder of radius 2.0 m.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Initial angular velocity (\omega_{1}) = 0.14 rev/s

        \omega_{1} = (0.14 \times 2 \pi) rad/s

                        = 0.87 rad/s

Mass of man (M) = 84 kg,     Mass of cylinder (m) = 25 kg

Radius of the cylinder (r) = 2.4 m

Let r_{1} be the initial distance of man from the axis of rotation = 2.0 m

Final distance of man from the axis of rotation (r_{2}) = 0.6 m

Formula to calculate the moment of inertia of cylinder is as follows.

        I = \frac{Mr^{2}}{2}  

And, moment of inertia of man = mr^{2}

Therefore, initial moment of inertia of the system is as follows.

      I_{1} = \frac{Mr^{2}}{2} + mr^{2}_{1}

                = \frac{84 \times (2.4 m)^{2}}{2} + 25 \times (2)^{2}

                = 241.92 + 100

                = 341.92 kg m^{2}

Now, final moment of inertia of the system will be calculated as follows.

           I_{2} = \frac{Mr^{2}}{2} + mr^{2}_{2}

                     = \frac{84 \times (2.4)^{2}}{2} + 25 \times (0.6)^{2}

                     = 241.92 + 9

                     = 250.92

Now, according to the law of conservation of angular momentum is as follows.

      Initial angular momentum = Final angular momentum

             I_{1} \omega_{1} = I_{2} \omega_{2}

or,   \omega_{2} = \frac{I_{1}\omega_{1}}{I_{2}}

                     = \frac{341.92 \times 0.87}{250.92}

                     = 1.18 rad/s

Thus, we can conclude that the new angular speed is 1.18 rad/s.

Calculate the electric potential energy in a capacitor that stores 4.0 10-10 C of charge at 250.0 V
Arada [10]
Q = C.v
v = Q/C
v = 4 × 10^(-10)/250
 = 4 × 10^(-10)/2.5 × 10^2
 = 1.6 × 10^(-12) volt

How can wind put off fire?
kipiarov [429]
♥ If the wind is strong enough it can do so.
♥ By having a strong enough wind you can blow out the fire before the flame can consume any more vapor.
♥ If the wind is fast enough, like a birthday cake candle for example, the wind will burn out.
