A child standing on the edge of a freely spinning merry-go-round moves quickly to the center. Which one of the following stateme

nts is necessarily true concerning this event and why?
a. the angular speed of the system increases because the moment of inertia of the system has decreased.
b. the angular speed of the system increases because the moment of inertia of the system has increased.
c. The angular speed of the system decreases because the moment of inertia of the system has increased.
d. The angular speed of the system remains the same because the net torque on the merry-go-round is zero N x m.
e. The angular speed of the system decreases because the moment of inertia of the system has decreased.

During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:

CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :

MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol

MM CuO = 79 g/mol

MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.

So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which  "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)

NEED HELP FAST<br><br>Are the circuits in a car parallel or series? <br>how do you know?
guajiro [1.7K]
The answer is parallel

If the <span>circuits in a car</span> were series, they would go out at the same time.

I hope this helps! :3

The speed of light in air is 3 x 108 m/s. The speed of light in ice is 2.29 x 108 m/s. What is the refractive index from air to
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

η = 1.31

Explanation:

The formula for the refractive index of from air to some other medium is given by the following formula:

\eta = \frac{c}{v}\\

where,

η = refractive index = ?

c = speed of light in air = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = speed of light in ice = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{2.29\ x\ 10^8\ m/s} \\

<u>η = 1.31</u>

A hi-lo lifts an 25 N skid to top of a pallet rack. The pallet rack is 3.6 meters tall. The hi-lo takes 12 seconds to get the sk
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

7.5Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force of lift  = 25N

Height  = 3.6m

Time  = 12s

Unknown:

Power output  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done ;

     Power  = \frac{force x height }{time}  

   Power  = \frac{25 x 3.6}{12}    = 7.5Watts

A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle with a maximum height of 3.0 m, with a radius of 8.5 m, and with the gro
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) s \approx 6.676\,m

Explanation:

a) Let assume that the ground is not inclined, since the bottom of the playground slide is tangent to ground. Then, the length of given by the definition of a circular arc:

s = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot R

s=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (8.5\,m)

s \approx 6.676\,m

The bottom of the slide has a height of zero. The physical phenomenon around Dr. Ritchey's daughter is modelled after Principle of Energy Conservation. The child begins at rest:

U_{g,A} = K_{B} + W_{fr}

m\cdot g \cdot h_{A} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{B}^{2} + f\cdot s

The average frictional force is cleared within the expression:

f = \frac{m\cdot (g\cdot h_{A}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{B}^{2})}{s}

f = \frac{(12\,kg)\cdot [(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,m)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.5\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} ]}{6.676\,m}

f = 34.684\,N
