Answer:

a) ac= 15.3 m/s² b) 765 N c) 1.56

Explanation:

a) For the child standing in the rim of the merry-go-round, there exists a force, called centripetal force, that keeps her moving in a circular path, and not going in a straight line at constant speed, as Newton's first law dictates.

The acceleration cosequence of this force is called centripetal acceleration, and it can be showed be equal to the following expression:

ac = ω²*r, where ω is the angular speed, and r is the radius.

Replacing by the givens:

ac= (2.8)² (rad/sec)² * 1.95 m = 15.3  m/s²

b) As we were talking about the centripetal force, we realize that this can't be some type of  an unknown force, so, it must  be one than can be identifiable.

Looking at the external forces on the child, the only one that is applied in horizontal plane, is the friction force.

So, this friction force, is just the centripetal force we were talking about.

The mimimum force between her feet and the floor of the carousel, is just the centripetal force:

Fc = m*ac = 50.0 kg * 15.3 m/s² = 765 N

c) The friction force can take any value, in order to be equal to the centripetal force,  up to a limit value, beyond which , the child will move. This limit value can be expressed as follows:

Fs max = μs*N  = μs*m*g

⇒ m*ac = μs*m*g

Simplifying  common terms, we can solve for the coefficient of static friction ,  μs, as follows:

μs = 15. 3 m/s² / 9.8 m/s² = 1.56

Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 2.4
NeX [460]

When person is observing destructive interference at 0.20 m distance from the equidistant position then we can say that path difference must be equal to half of the wavelength

now we will have

\frac{\lambda}{2} = \frac{yd}{L}

now we know that

y = 0.20 m

d = 2.4 m

L = 10 m

now here we have

\frac{\lambda}{2} = \frac{0.20\times 2.4}{10}

\lambda = 0.096 m

now frequency of wave is given as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{343}{0.096} = 3573 Hz

Help pls thx!!!!!!! <br> this is my last question i hope!
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Left

Explanation:

newtons is a measure of force. Since there is more newtons(force) pushing to the left, the object will move left. the 15 newtons cancel each other out, leaving only 5 newtons pushing to one side with no resistance.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1) The matter absorbs or reflects the light

2) Lens

3) <u><em>Concave</em></u>- curves inwards.  Diverges light

b.<u><em>Convex</em></u>- curves outward.  Converges light

4) The image is real if the distance of the object from the lens is greater than the focal length and virtual if it is less than the focal length

5) Lens and, for convex lenses, on the distance between the lens and the object.

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
Wewaii [24]

Using the picture provided the forces are added together, because they are putting force on an object the same direction, thus the forces are added.
