Max (15 kg) and maya (12 kg) are riding on a merry-go-round that rotates at a constant speed. max is sitting on the edge of the

merry-go-round, 2.4 m from the center, and maya is sitting somewhere between the edge and the center. the merry-go-round is a solid disk with a radius of 2.4 m, a mass of 230 kg, and is rotating at a constant rate of 0.75 rev/s. the system, which includes max, maya, and the merry-go-round, has 8700 j of rotational kinetic energy. how far away is maya from the center of the merry-go-round?

Refer to the diagram shown below.
M = 230 kg, the mass of the wheel
m₁ = 15 kg, Max's mass
m₂ = 12 kg, Maya's mass
r = 2.4 m, the radius of the wheel

Max is located at 2.4 m from the center of the weel.
Let x =  the distance of Maya from the center of the wheel.

The polar moment of inertias of the system is
J = (1/2)Mr²   (for the wheel)
    + m₁r²       (for Max)
    + m₂x²      (for Maya)
That is,
J = 0.5*(230)*(2.4)² + (15)*(2.4)² + (12)x²  kg-m²
   = 748.8 + 12x² kg-m²

The angular velocity is
ω = 0.75 rev/s = (0.75*2π) rad/s = 4.7124 rad/s

By definition, the rotational KE is
KE = (1/2)*J*ω²

Because the rotational KE is 8700 J, therefore
(1/2)*(748.8 + 12x²)*(4.7124)² = 8700
11.1034(748.8 + 12x²) = 8700
748.8 + 12x² = 783.547
12x² = 34.747
x = 1.702 m

Answer: 1.7 m (nearest tenth)

(G)-->Iron and steel industry is called a heavy industry because all the raw material as well as finished goods are heavy and bulky entailing heavy transportation costs. Iron ore, coking coal and limestone are required in the ratio of 4:2:1 approximately. Some quantity of manganese is also required to harden the steel.

(H)-->Sodium is very reactive in nature. When exposed in air, it automatically forms Na2O. When it is put in water it reacts vigorously and starts burning on water. Due to the above reasons Sodium is called an active metal.

(I)-->Down the group, the effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electrons is decreasing because the outermost electrons are far away from the nucleus. Thus, these electrons can be lost easily by the element to form positive ions. Hence, the chemical reactivity of metals increases on going down a group.

(J)-->While moving from top to bottom in a group of the periodic table, the reactivity of non- metals decreases. While moving from top to bottom in a group of non- metals, the atomic size increases with the additional number of shells and the force of attraction between the nucleus and valence shell decreases.

The characteristics of the kinematics allow to find the results for the questions about the movement of the body are:

a)  we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b)  The acceleration is the first 8 s is:  a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is:    a = 1 m / s²

d) The displacement   is:  i) d₁ =  8m,     ii)  d_{total}= 16 m

e) maximum speed  is:      v = 6 m / s

Kinematics studies the movement of bodies by finding relationships between the position, speed and acceleration of bodies.

        v = v₀ + a t

        y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

where v and v₀ is the current and initial velocity, respectively, a is the acceleration and t is time.

In many circumstances graphs are made for their analysis, in a graph of speed versus time when we have a horizontal line the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero and in the case of a slope there is an acceleration, we have two cases:

  • Positive slope the body is accelerating and the speed is increasing.
  • Negative slope the body is stopping, the speed decreases.

Let's answer the different questions about the system.

a) in the attached we have a graph of the velocity versus time, each section corresponds to a change in the slope of the graph, we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b) The acceleration is the first 8 s

          v = v₀ + a t

          a = \frac{v-v_o}{\Delta t}  

          a = \frac{2-0}{8-0}  

          a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is when the slope is maximum.

          a = \frac{6-2}{ 14-10}  

          a = 1 m / s²

Therefore the acceleration is maximum in the section between 10 and 14 s

d) The total displacement is the sum of the displacements of each section.

         d_{total } = d_1 +d_2 + d_3 +d_4  

We look for every displacement.

       d₁ = v₀ + ½ a₁ Δt²

       d₁ = 0 + ½ 0.25 8²

       d₁ = 8 m

In the second section the velocity is constant

         d₂ = v₂ Δt₂

         d₂ = 2 (10-8)

         d₂ = 4 m

The third section.

    d₃ = v₀ + ½ a t²

    d₃ = 2 + ½ 1 (14-10) ²

    d₃ = 10 m

The distance of the fourth section.

       

we look for acceleration

          a₄ = \frac{v-v_o}{\Delta t}  

          a₄ = \frac{0-6}{18-14}  

          a₄ = -1.5 m / s²

     

          d₄ = 6 + ½ (-1.5) (1814) ²

          d₄ = -6 m

The total displacement is;

          d_{total} = 8 + 4 + 10 -6

          d_{total} = 16 m

e) The maximum speed is the highest point in the graph of speed versus time that in the attachment we can see corresponds to

          v = 6 m / s

In conclusion using the characteristics of kinematics we can find the results for the questions about the motion of bodies are:

  a)  we have four sections;

  • 0 to 8 s The body is accelerating.
  • 8 to 10 s The body goes at a constant speed, the acceleration is zero.
  • 10 to 14 Body accelerating.
  • 14 to 18 Body slowing down.

b)  The acceleration is the first 8 s is:  a = 0.25 m / s²

c) The maximum acceleration is:    a = 1 m / s²

d) The displacement   is:  i) d₁ =  8m,     ii)  d_{total}= 16 m

e) maximum speed  is:      v = 6 m / s

An electron in a mercury atom drops
aksik [14]

Since the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules.

<h3>How to calculate the photon energy?</h3>

In order to determine the photon energy of an electron, you should apply Planck-Einstein's equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein equation can be calculated by using this formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

  • h is Planck constant.
  • f is photon frequency.

In this scenario, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules because the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon.
