A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid

e and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 5.5 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding?

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?

 we can get the minimum coefficient of friction from the equation below

centrifugal force = frictional force

m x r x ω^{2} = Uk x m x g

r x ω^{2} = Uk x g

Uk = \frac{ r x ω^{2} }{g}

where ω (angular velocity) = \frac{2π}{time}

= \frac{2π }{5.5} = 1.14

Uk = \frac{ 5.7 x 1.14^{2} }{9.8} = 0.76

Five groups of four vectors are shown below. All magnitudes of individual vectors are equal. Please rank the groups based on the
valkas [14]

With the addition of vectors we can find that the correct answer is:

   C)   Q> P > R =  S > T

The addition of vectors must be done taking into account that they have modulus and direction. The analytical method is one of the easiest methods, the method to do it is:

  • Set a Cartesian coordinate system
  • Decompose vectors into their components in a Cartesian system
  • Perform the algebraic sums on each axis
  • Find the resultant vector using the Pythagoras' Theorem to find the modulus and trigonometry to find the direction.

In this exercise indicate that the modulus of all vectors is the same, suppose that the value of the modulus is A.

We fix a Cartesian coordinate system with the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis, we can see that we do not need to perform any decomposition, so we perform the algebraic sums

Diagram P

x-axis

         x = 2A

y-axis  

         y = 2A

The modulus of the resulting vector can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem

          P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

          P = \sqrt{4A^2 +4A^2 }= \sqrt{8}  \  A

          P = 2 √2  A

         

Diagram Q

x-axis

        x = 3A

y-axis  

        y = A

Resulting

       Q = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}

       Q =\sqrt{9A^2 + A^2 }  

       Q = \sqrt{10} \ A

       

Diagram R

x- axis

       x = 0

y-axis

        y = 2 A

Resulting

       R =\sqrt{4A^2 + 0}  

       R = \sqrt{4} \ A

Diagram S

x-axis

       x = 2 A

y-axis

        y = 0

 

Resulting

       S = 2A

Diagram T

x- axis

      x = 0

y-axis  

      y = 0

Resultant T = 0

We order the diagram from highest to lowest

    Q> P> R = S> T

When reviewing the different answers, the correct one is:

   C.  Q> P> R = S> T

trapecia [35]
The answer is 2500 newtons. F = M * A, so 500 kg x 5 m/s = 2500 newtons.

A hockey puck has a mass of 0.107 kg and is at rest. A hockey player makes a shot, exerting a constant force of 28.0 N on the pu
gregori [183]

Answer:

The speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Mass = 0.107 kg

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0

Force (F) = 28 N

Time = 0.16 sec

From newton's second law,  Force  = mass × acceleration

⇒  F = m × a

⇒  28 = 0.107 × a

⇒  a = 261.7 \frac{m}{s^{2} } --------- (1)

This is the value of acceleration.

Final speed of the mass is calculated by the equation V = U + at

⇒ U = 0 because mass in in rest position at start.

⇒ V = a t

Put the values of acceleration and time in above formula we get

⇒ V = 261.7 × 0.16

⇒ V = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}

Therefore the speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}
