Feng and Isaac are riding on a merry-go- round. Feng rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far fr

om the center of the circular platform as Isaac, who rides on an inner horse. When the merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed, what is Feng’s angular speed?
1. impossible to determine
2. half of Isaac’s
3. the same as Isaac’s
4. twice Isaac’s

Answer:

Option 3

Explanation:

Two rims of the merry go round must move with the same angular speed. If they move with different angular speed, the two rims will move away from each other and must get separated after certain period of time. But since the two rims are rotating together without separation, hence they must be having same angular speed. In this question the angular speed of Freng’s must be equal to the angular speed of Isaac.

Hence, option 3 is correct

Starting from rest, a 2.3x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts
Harman [31]

Answer:

3.13 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Since the flea spring started from rest,

Ek = W................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the flea spring, W = work done on the flea spring.

But,

Ek = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the flea spring, v = flea's speed when it leaves the ground.

substitute equation 2 into equation 1

1/2mv² = W.................... Equation 3

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2W/m)................. Equation 4

Given: W = 3.6×10⁻⁴ J, m = 2.3×10⁻⁴ kg

Substitute into equation 4

v = √[2×3.6×10⁻⁴ )/2.3×10⁻⁴]

v = 7.2/2.3

v = 3.13 m/s

Hence the flea's speed when it leaves the ground  = 3.13 m/s

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached
MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

  • When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
  • During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
  • In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
  • At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about a perpendicular axis at one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

0.231 N

Explanation:

To get from rest to angular speed of 6.37 rad/s within 9.87s, the angular acceleration of the rod must be

\alpha = \frac{\theta}{t} = \frac{6.37}{9.87} = 0.6454 rad/s^2

If the rod is rotating about a perpendicular axis at one of its end, then it's momentum inertia must be:

I = \frac{mL^2}{3} = \frac{1.27*0.847^2}{3} = 0.303kgm^2

According to Newton 2nd law, the torque required to exert on this rod to achieve such angular acceleration is

T = I\alpha = 0.303*0.6454 = 0.196 Nm

So the force acting on the other end to generate this torque mush be:

F = \frac{T}{L} = \frac{0.196}{0.847} = 0.231 N

A(n) 12500 lb railroad car traveling at 7.8 ft/s couples with a stationary car of 7430 lb. The acceleration of gravity is 32 ft/
navik [9.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. That is, the final momentum must be the same final momentum. And in each state, the momentum will be the sum of the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, then

\text{Initial Momentum} = \text{Final Momentum}

m_1u_1 +m_2u_2 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Here,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

u_{1,2}= Initial velocity of each object

v_{1,2}= Final velocity of each object

When they position the final velocities of the bodies it is the same and the car is stationary then,

m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Rearranging to find the final velocity

v_f = \frac{m_2u_2}{ (m_1+m_2)}

v_f = \frac{ 12500*7.8}{ 12500+7430}

v_f = 4.8921ft/s

The expression for the impulse received by the first car is

I = m_1 (v-u)

I = \frac{W}{g} (v-u)

Replacing,

I = \frac{12500}{32.2}(4.89-7.8)

I = -1129.65lb\cdot s

The negative sign show the opposite direction.
