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

Wewaii [24]

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is <u>non </u><u>inertial</u><u> frame</u><u> </u>, we would have to think of a pseudo force .

  • The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma

<u>Hence</u><u> </u><u>option</u><u> </u><u>d </u><u>is </u><u>correct</u><u> </u><u>choice </u><u>.</u>

<em>I </em><em>hope</em><em> this</em><em> helps</em><em> </em><em>.</em>

Why is it necessary to centrifuge out any precipitate formed in the unknown solution and continue testing the remaining unknown
jonny [76]

Answer:

Precipitation is the formation of a solid from a solution. It is necessary to centrifuge the precipitate to exert sufficient forces of gravity to bring the solid particles in the solution to come together and settle

Explanation:

When you centrifuge precipitate it enables the nucleation to form.

Centrifuging the precipitate helps in determining whether a certain element is present in a solution or not.

A 2.51 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a 1.19 m long string. The height of the room is 3.45 m. The acceleration of gravity i
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

55,42 J

Explanation:

Since the height of the room is 3.45 m (distance between the floor and the ceiling) the difference between this value and the length of the rope 1.19 m; it will be equal to (3.45-1.19) =2.26 m. If we take as a reference point (Ep=0) the floor of the room, then the potential energy will be equal to Ep = M * g * h, replacing values in this equation (2.5 kg * 9.81 m/s2 * 2.26 m) will be 55,42 (N * m) or Jules.
