A brave child decides to grab onto an already spinning merry‑go‑round. The child is initially at rest and has a mass of 25.5 kg.

The child grabs and clings to a bar that is 1.55 m from the center of the merry‑go‑round, causing the angular velocity of the merry‑go‑round to abruptly drop from 35.0 rpm to 19.0 rpm. What is the moment of inertia of the merry‑go‑round with respect to its central axis?

Answer:

72.75 kg m^2

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, ω = 35 rpm

final angular velocity, ω' =  19 rpm

mass of child, m = 15.5 kg

distance from the centre, d = 1.55 m

Let the moment of inertia of the merry go round is I.

Use the concept of conservation of angular momentum

I ω = I' ω'

where I' be the moment of inertia of merry go round and child

I x 35 = ( I + md^2) ω'

I x 35 = ( I + 25.5 x 1.55 x 1.55) x 19

35 I = 19 I + 1164

16 I = 1164

I = 72.75 kg m^2

Thus, the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 72.75 kg m^2.

The weight of an object is measured in air to be 7.0 N. The
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Buoyant force = 3.0 N

The object will not float.

Explanation:

Apparent weight of a body immersed in water is the actual weight of object minus buoyant force

Given in the question that;

Weight of object in air = 7.0 N

Apparent weight of object = 4.0 N

4.0 N = 7.0 N - Buoyant force

Buoyant force = 7.0 - 4.0 = 3.0 N

In this case, the buoyant force is less than weight of the object thus the object will sink.

A machine accelerates a 5 kg missile from rest to a speed of 5 km/s. The net force accelerating the missile 500,000 N. How long
Gnoma [55]
Final velocity = 5km/sec = 5000 m/sec
Initial velocity = 0, mass = 5kg and force = 500,000 N
F = m(Vf-Vi)/time
Time = m(Vf-Vi)/force = 5*5000/500000 = 0.05 seconds
So, it takes 0.05 sec to arrive at the speed of 5km/s.
