A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev

/s. The merry-go-round is a solid disk, and the moment of inertia is = 1/2 MR2. . A 23.5 kg child is initially at rest, he then gets onto the merry-go-round by grabbing its outer edge. The child can be treated as a point mass located at the outer edge of the merry-go-round. His moment of inertia is mR2. After this rotational collision, the merry-go-round and the child have a commen final angular velocity (which is different from the merry-go-round's initital angular velocity). (e) What is the final angular velocity in rad/s after the child gets on?

Answer:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

L_i = L_f

so:

I_mW_m = I_sW_f

where I_m is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, W_m is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, I_s is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and W_f is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where M_m is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2\pi rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2

I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2

I_s = 506.25kg*m^2

Finally we replace all the data:

(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f

Solving for W_f:

W_f = 2.319 rad/s

How can two substances be made up of the same two elements but have very different properties?
asambeis [7]
So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/4 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.5 m
Feliz [49]

Explanation:

Let the speeds of father and son are v_f\ and\ v_s. The kinetic energies of father and son are K_f\ and\ K_s. The mass of father and son are  m_f\ and\ m_s

(a) According to given conditions, K_f=\dfrac{1}{3}K_s

And m_s=\dfrac{1}{4}m_f

Kinetic energy of father is given by :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m_fv_f^2.............(1)

Kinetic energy of son is given by :

K_s=\dfrac{1}{2}m_sv_s^2...........(2)

From equation (1), (2) we get :

\dfrac{v_f^2}{v_s^2}=\dfrac{1}{12}..............(3)

If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :

\dfrac{K_f}{K_s}=\dfrac{1/2m_f(v_f+1.5)^2}{1/2m_sv_s^2}

v_s^2=4(v_f+1.5)^2

Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :

v_f=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt3-1}=2.04\ m/s

(b) Put the value of v_f in equation (3) as :

v_s=7.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
