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

Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun
Shalnov [3]

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.

A 50.0-kg projectile is fired at an angle of 30 degrees above thehorizontal with an initial speed of 1.20 x 102 m/s fromthe top
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a)  Em₀ = 42.96 104 J , b)   W_{fr} = -2.49 105 J , c)  vf = 3.75 m / s

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of a body is the sum of its kinetic energy plus the potential energies it has

        Em = K + U

a) Let's look for the initial mechanical energy

      Em₀ = K + U

      Em₀ = ½ m v2 + mg and

      Em₀ = ½ 50.0 (1.20 102) 2 + 50 9.8 142

      Em₀ = 36 104 + 6.96 104

      Em₀ = 42.96 104 J

b) The work of the friction force is equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the body

    W_{fr} = Em₂ -Em₀

     Em₂ = K + U

     Em₂ = ½ m v₂² + m g y₂

     Em₂ = ½ 50 85 2 + 50 9.8 427

     Em₂ = 180.625 + 2.09 105

     Em₂ = 1,806 105 J

     W_{fr} = Em₂ -Em₀

     W_{fr} = 1,806 105 - 4,296 105

     W_{fr} = -2.49 105 J

The negative sign indicates that the work that force and displacement have opposite directions

c) In this case the work of the friction going up is already calculated in part b and the work of the friction going down would be 1.5 that job

We have that the work of friction is equal to the change of mechanical energy

       W_{fr} = ΔEm

       W_{fr} = Emf - Emo

       -1.5 2.49 10⁵ = ½ m vf² - 42.96 10⁴

       ½ m vf² = -1.5 2.49 10⁵ + 4.296 10⁵

       ½ 50.0 vf² = 0.561

       vf = √ 0.561 25

      vf = 3.75 m / s
