Two children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that has a mass of 100.kg and radius of 1.60m and is rotating at 20.0rpm

(disc). Ignore friction. The children have masses of 22.0kg and 28.0kg and are seated on the outside (simple pendulum). If both children move to half the radius (0.8m) what is the new rotational speed?

Here since both children and merry go round is our system and there is no torque acting on this system

So we will use angular momentum conservation in this

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

now here we have

I_1 = \frac{MR^2}{2} + m_1R^2 + m_2R^2

I_1 = \frac{100(1.60)^2}{2} + (22 + 28)(1.60)^2

I_1 = 256

Now when children come to the position of half radius

then we will have

I_2 = \frac{MR^2}{2} + m_1(\frac{R}{2})^2 + m_2(\frac{R}{2})^2

I_2 = \frac{100(1.6)^2}{2} + (28 + 22)(0.8)^2

I_2 = 160

now from above equation we have

256 (20.0 rpm) = 160(\omega_2)

\omega_2 = 32 rpm

Why does fluid pressure exist?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Fluid pressure from gravity is the weight of the fluid above divided by the area it is pushing on. Fluid pressure applies in all directions. Internal pressure of an object equals the external fluid pressure, otherwise the object could be crushed. Wind and heating can also create pressure.

What is the net force on this object A: 0 newtons b: 200 newtons c:400 newtons D:600 newtons
Ilya [14]

Answer:

100kg

Explanation:

Total force =400N+600N=1000N

As we have,

F=m×g

1000N=m×10m/s²

1000N÷10m/s²=m

m=100kg

aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3. if a chuck of aluminum with a mass of 16 g is placed in a graduated cylinder partially fill
sweet-ann [11.9K]
When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum.
Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume 
Therefore:
volume = mass / density
we are given that:
the density = 2.7 g / cm^3
the mass = 16 grams
Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows:
volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3

Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3

A 6 kg box with initial speed 5 m/s slides across the floor and comes to a stop after 1.9 s. What is the coefficient of kinetic
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.27

Explanation:

According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:

\sum F_x:-F_k=ma\\\sum F_y:N=mg

Recall that the force of friction is given by:

F_k=\mu_k N

Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:

-\mu_kN=ma\\-\mu_k(mg)=ma\\\mu_k=-\frac{a}{g}

We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:

a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{0-5\frac{m}{s}}{1.9s}\\a=-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}

Finally, we calculate \mu_k:

\mu_k=-\frac{-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\mu_k=0.27
