A horizontal 810-N merry-go-round of radius 1.60 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 55 N applied tangentia
Sloan [31]

Answer:

576 joules

Explanation:

From the question we are given the following:

weight = 810 N

radius (r) = 1.6 m

horizontal force (F) = 55 N

time (t) = 4 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

where MI is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity

MI = 0.5 x m x r^2

mass = weight ÷ g = 810 ÷ 9.8 = 82.65 kg

MI = 0.5 x 82.65 x 1.6^{2}

MI = 105.8 kg.m^{2}

angular velocity (ω) = a x t

angular acceleration (a) = torque ÷ MI

where torque = F x r = 55 x 1.6 = 88 N.m

a= 88 ÷ 105.8 = 0.83 rad /s^{2}

therefore

angular velocity (ω) = a x t = 0.83 x 4 = 3.33 rad/s

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x 105.8 x 3.33^{2} = 576 joules

The length of vector A is 93.8 meters and the length of Ay is 38.4 meters, then the length of A, must be
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

85.556metres

Explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem

C²=A²+B²

we have c as the hypotenuse vector A thus:

93.8²=A²+38.4²

93.8²-38.4²=A²

8794.44-1474.56=A²

7319.88=A²

A=85.556

After a great many contacts with the charged ball, how is the charge on the rod arranged (when the charged ball is far away)?
faust18 [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.

Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.

Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.

A technician is diagnosing a car that had both front brake hoses replaced 5,000 miles ago. An inspection reveals that the right
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option B

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

Technician a is wrong because the rupture was not caused by switching DOT (Department of Transportation) 3 and DOT 4 Brake fluids. As a matter of fact both brake fluids are compatible with most vehicular systems, and to a certain extent they can be used interchangeably without any adverse effect.

Technician B on the other hand, gives a more accurate reason, since a twisted brake hose will definitely fail and rupture once enough force is applied to it, which is most likely the case of what happened considering the mileage it ran before rupturing. Within this mileage, it is very possible for the pressure on the already twisted brake hose to have been damaging it gradually before finally making it to rupture.
