Why is your velocity continuously changing as you ride on a carousel?

2 answers:

5 0

Since carousels go in circles, the direction of travel is constantly changing and velocity is defined as constant change. This is the reason why velocity is continuously changing when riding a carousel for velocity is involve in change of direction.

Moreover, a change in velocity is an acceleration and velocity has two properties that comprises direction and magnitude. Whereas the direction of velocity is the direction of travel and speed is the magnitude of velocity.

<span>To make this more obvious (and give it some relevance beyond being just a HW question), imagine that the ride is going super, super, duper fast. You'd better hold on tight or else you'll fly off. There's obviously a force acting on you, then, to keep you on that ride. Therefore, you are accelerating, which means your velocity is changing.</span>

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?

ira [324]

Answer:

λ = hv

If frequency is doubled :

λ = h × 2v

λ = 2hv

Thus wavelength is doubled

A person drops a brick from the top of a building. The height of the building is 400 m and the mass of the brick is 2.00 kg. Wh

DaniilM [7]

-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground.

-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.

-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
would fall at the same rate. The answer is the same for a feather,
a rubber chicken, a brick, or a school bus.

According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown, what would best represent the

iren2701 [21]

The best represent the size of visible light will be C. Protozoa

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light

the best represent the size of visible light is Protozoa, According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown,

A wheel with moment of inertia 25 kg. m2 and angular velocity 10 rad/s begins to speed up, with angular acceleration 15 rad/sec2

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(A) Angular speed 40 rad/sec

Rotation = 50 rad

(b) 37812.5 J

Explanation:

We have given moment of inertia of the wheel $I=25kgm^2$

Initial angular velocity of the wheel $\omega _0=10rad/sec$

Angular acceleration $\alpha =15rad/sec^2$

(a) We know that $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

We have given t = 2 sec

So $\omega =10+15\times 2=40rad/sec$

Now $\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 2^2=50rad$

(b) After 3 sec $\omega =10+15\times 3=55rad/sec$

We know that kinetic energy is given by $Ke=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times 55^2=37812.5J$

A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The ang

olga55 [171]

Answer:

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child: $s_c = \omega_ct = 0.233t$
