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

From an h = 53 feet observation tower on the coast, a Coast Guard officer sights a boat in difficulty. The angle of depression o
maksim [4K]

Answer:

757,93 feets

Explanation:

We can make a right triangle between the boat (A), the Coast Guard officer (B) and the base of the observation tower (C), like in the graph attached. Now, you could also made a rectangle, adding the horizontal at the height of the Coast Guard, starting in B and ending in D, the vertex opossing C.

The angle of depression, its O in the graph.

Now, as we got an rectangle, of course, the segment AD its the same length as CB, and CA, the distance from the boat to shoreline, its the same length as DB.

ADB its an right triangle, with AB, the hypothenuse, and BD and DA, the catheti (or <em>legs</em>).

Now, we know the lenght BC, the height of the tower, 53 feets, so we also know the lenght of DA. DA its the opposite cathetus to the angle O. We wish to know the length AC, equal to the lenght DB, the adjacent cathetus of the angle O.

Know, the trigonometric function that connects the adjacent cathetus with the opossite cathetus its the tangent.

tangent( O ) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

We can take that the angle O = 4 °, and knowing that the opossite cathetus its 53 feets, we got:

tangent( 4) = \frac{53 feets}{DB}

DB=  \frac{53 feets}{tangent( 4)}

DB=  757,93 feets

This its equal to the distance from the boat to the shoreline.

An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 2010 × 103 seconds (about
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Radial acceleration of moon is a_{r} = 2.246\times 10^{-3}\frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Given :

Time period T = 1.987 \times 10^{6} sec

Distance from center of moon to planet r = 225 \times 10^{6} m

From the equation of radial acceleration,

  a_{r} = r\omega ^{2}

Where \omega = 2\pi f = \frac{2\pi }{T}

So   \omega = 3.16 \times 10^{-6} \frac{rad}{s}

Now moon's radial acceleration,

 a_{r} = 225 \times 10^{6} \times (3.16 \times 10^{-6} )^{2}

 a_{r} = 2246.76 \times 10^{-6}

 a_{r} = 2.246\times 10^{-3} \frac{m}{s^{2} }
