The radius, r, of the child from the center of the wheel is
r = 1.3 m

The wheel makes one revolution in 4.2 s. Its angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(4.2 s) = 1.496 rad/s

The linear speed of the child is the tangential velocity, given by
v = rω
   = (1.3 m)*(1.496 rad/s)
   = 1.945 m/s

Answer: 1.95 m/s  (nearest hundredth)

Remember in solving any Physics problem it is important to write all the given parameter. Given are 1 complete revolution of merry go-round or can be written as 1rev/s, this should be converted to radians, since it makes one complete revolution. Radius given equal to 1.3 m from the center. Simply follow the process,  ω=1rev/s x 2πrads/rev  ω=answer will in "rad/s" or cancel the unit "rev". The formula to follow is Speed=rω. just multiply radius and the angular speed.

A motorist, traveling east on an open highway, sets his cruise control at 90.0 km/h. How far will he travel in 0.75 hours?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 67.5 km</h2>

Explanation:

The distance covered by an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

distance = velocity × time

From the question we have

distance = 90 × 0.75

We have the final answer as

<h3>67.5 km</h3>

Hope this helps you

What does Newton's 2nd Law explain?
kow [346]

Answer:

C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}

Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.
