A carousel has a radius of 1.70 m and a moment of inertia of 110 kg · m2. A girl of mass 44.0 kg is standing at the edge of the

carousel, which is rotating with an angular speed of 3.40 rad/s. Now the girl walks toward the center of the carousel and stops at a certain distance from the center d. The angular speed of the carousel is now 5.4 rad/s. How far from the center, in meters, did the girl stop?

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial moment of inertia of the carousel + girl

I₁ = 110 + 44 x 1.7²

= 110 + 127.16

= 237.16 kgm².

final moment of inertia of carousel + girl

I₂ = 110 + 44 x d²

applying law of conservation of angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ = I₂ω₂

ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocities of the carousel before and after .

237.16 x 3.4 = (110 + 44 x d²)x 5.4

806.34 = 594 + 237.6 d²

237.6 d² = 212.34

d²= .8936

d = .9453 m

If a moving car speeds up until it is going twice as fast, how much kinetic energy doe s it have compared with its initial kinet

dezoksy [38]

The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and velocity v is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Let's call $v_i$ the initial speed of the car, so that its initial kinetic energy is
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2$
where m is the mass of the car.

The problem says that the car speeds up until its velocity is twice the original one, so
$v_f = 2 v_i$
and by using the new velocity we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the car
$K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv_f^2 = \frac{1}{2}m (2 v_i)^2 = 4 ( \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2)=4 K_i$
so, if the velocity of the car is doubled, the new kinetic energy is 4 times the initial kinetic energy.

Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at 450 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and

alexira [117]

Answer:

A) $\omega_f=17.503\ rad.s^{-1}$

B) $t=55.6822\ s$

C) $\theta=1312\ rad$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of flywheel, $m=40\ kg$

diameter of flywheel, $d=0.72\ m$

rotational speed of flywheel, $N_i=450\ rpm \Rightarrow \omega_i=\frac{450\times 2\pi}{60} =15\pi\ rad.s^{-1}$

duration for which the power is off, $t_0=35\ s$

no. of revolutions made during the power is off, $\theta=180\times 2\pi=360\pi\ rad$

<u>Using equation of motion:</u>

$\theta=\omega_i.t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha.t^2$

$360\pi=15\pi\times 35+\frac{1}{2} \times \alpha\times35^2$

$\alpha=-0.8463\ rad.s^{-2}$

Negative sign denotes deceleration.

A)

Now using the equation:

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha.t$

$\omega_f=15\pi-0.8463\times 35$

$\omega_f=17.503\ rad.s^{-1}$ is the angular velocity of the flywheel when the power comes back.

B)

Here:

$\omega_f=0\ rad.s^{-1}$

Now using the equation:

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha.t$

$0=15\pi-0.8463\times t$

$t=55.6822\ s$ is the time after which the flywheel stops.

C)

Using the equation of motion:

$\theta=\omega_i.t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha.t^2$

$\theta=15\pi\times 55.68225-0.5\times 0.8463\times 55.68225^2$

$\theta=1312\ rad$ revolutions are made before stopping.
