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.

A car drives for 30 km with a speed of 30m/s. How much time does it take the car to travel this distance?
Artist 52 [7]

                   Time  =  (distance)  /  (speed)

                           =  (30 km)  /  (30 m/s)

                           =  (30,000 m)  /  (30 m/s)

                           =  (30,000 / 30)  sec

                           =      1,000 seconds

                           =      16 minutes  40 seconds

Who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom? Dalton Thomson Rutherford Democritus
Aloiza [94]

Democritus was the one who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom.

Answer: Option 4

<u>Explanation: </u>

The discovery of atoms were first stated by Democritus but due to the absence of any experimental proof, his statement was not noted as significant at that time.

After this, Dalton made the specific assumptions formulating some postulates for the atomic theory with proof. Then the cathode rays tube experiments performed by Thomson lead to the formation of plum pudding models of atom.

This is followed by Rutherford’s gold foil experiment discovering the presence of nucleus inside the atoms. So, Democritus first stated but due to absence of experimental evidences, his theory of atoms were not supported at that time.
