A 5.0-m radius playground merry-go-round with a moment of inertia of 2000 kg · m 2 is rotating freely with an angular speed of 1

.0 rad/s. Two people, each having a mass of 60 kg, are standing right outside the edge of the merry-go-round and step on it with negligible speed. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round right after the two people have stepped on?

Answer:

angular speed = 0.4 rad/s

Explanation:

given data

radius = 5 m

moment of inertia = 2000 kg-m²

angular speed = 1.0 rad/s

mass = 60 kg

to find out

angular speed

solution

Rotational momentum of merry-go-round = I?

we get here momentum that is express as  

momentum = 2000 × 1

momentum = 2000 kg-m²/s

and  

Inertia of people will be here as

Inertia of people = mr² = 60 × 5²

Inertia of people = 1500 kg-m²

so Inertia of people for two people  

1500 × 2 = 3000

and

now conserving angular momentum(ω)

moment of inertia × angular speed = ( momentum + Inertia of people ) angular momentum  

2000 ×  1 = (2000 + 3000 ) ω

solve we get now  

ω = 0.4 rad/s

a * 1.2 = -16.0 + 9.50
a * 1.2 = - 6.5 
a = - 6.5 : 1.2
a = - 5.4167 m/s²
F = m * a = 950 kg * 5.4167 m/s²

Which type wire should be used to increase resistance
8_murik_8 [283]

Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.

Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.

A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.

===============

I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then

Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance

Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.

Both rules assume you are using something like copper.
