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.

JulsSmile [24]
Choice - B is the correct one.

At the top of the arc, at one end of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any higher, so the potential energy is maximum
-- it stops moving for an instant, so the kinetic energy is zero

At the bottom of the arc, in the center of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any lower, so the potential energy is minimum
-- it's not going to move any faster, so the kinetic energy is maximum

In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is singed in the chamber or vessel. Example: Diesel or Petrol motor utilized as a part of Cars. 
The internal engine has its vitality touched off in the barrel, as 99.9% of motors today. In an External Combustion Engine, the inner working fuel is not consumed. Here the liquid is being warmed from an outer source. The fuel is warmed and extended through the interior instrument of the motor bringing about work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam motor Trains. An outer burning case is a steam motor where the warming procedure is done in a kettle outside the motor.

Answer:

7 / 1

Explanation:

The ratio of their amplitude = one-seventh and the ratio of their amplitude = the ratio of their wavelength

Ax / Ay = λx / λy  = 1 / 7

λy / λx = 7 / 1

The mass of jupiter is 300 times the mass of the earth. Jupiter orbits the sun with Tjupiter = 11.9 yr in an orbit with Rjupiter
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

c) 11.9 yr

Explanation:

The orbital period is proportional to r^(3/2) and does not depend on the satellite's mass. Any object at Jupiter position will have the same orbital period regardless of mass.

By keppler's law  we know that

T^2= r^3

T= orbital time period

r= mean distance of the planet from the Sun.

clearly, The orbital period does not depend on the satellite's mass

there, the correct answer will be c= 11.9 yr.
