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

What is an object doing at the moment its instantaneous acceleration is zero?
Oliga [24]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the vellocity.

Then, if the acceleration is equal zero, the object has a constant velocity or a velocity equal to zero (also constant, of course)

Then, te correct option would be option A; resting, because an object resting has instantaneuos acceleration of zero.

A student walks 1.0 mi west and then 1.0 mi north. afterward, how far is she from her starting point?
svetlana [45]
1.0 mi because as he has covered 1 the disrance of 1 m and then 1 m in north so he can go straight 1m north so the distance is actually 1m from the starting point

Kingda Ka has a maximum speed of 57.2 m/s. Determine the height of the hill on this roller coaster. Explain to get full credit,
kodGreya [7K]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy.

The height of the hill is "166.76 m".

<h3>LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY:</h3>

According to the law of conservation of energy at the highest point of the roller coaster ride, that is, the hill, the whole (maximum) kinetic energy of the roller coaster is converted into its potential energy:

Maximum\ Kinetic\ Energy\ Lost = Maximum\ Potential\ Energy\ Gain\\\\&#10;\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2=mgh\\\\&#10;h=\frac{v_{max}^2}{2g}

where,

  • h = height of the hill = ?
  • v_{max} = maximum velocity = 57.2 m/s
  • g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

h=\frac{(57.2\ m/s)^2}{2(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\&#10;

<u>h = 166.76 m</u>

A wire carries a steady current of 2.20
alina1380 [7]
By definition we know that the force is the vector product of the vector of the current by the length with the magnetic field vector. The current in this case goes in a positive "Y" direction. If we assume that the magnetic field goes in the positive "K" direction, then the result will be in the positive "X" direction. Attached solution.

Two long, straight wires are separated by a distance of 9.15 cm . One wire carries a current of 2.79 A , the other carries a cur
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The force is the same

Explanation:

The force per meter exerted between two wires carrying a current is given by the formula

\frac{F}{L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I_1 is the current in the 1st wire

I_2 is the current in the 2nd wire

r is the separation between the wires

In this problem

I_1=2.79 A\\I_2=4.36 A\\r = 9.15 cm = 0.0915 m

Substituting, we find the force per unit length on the two wires:

\frac{F}{L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(2.79)(4.36)}{2\pi (0.0915)}=2.66\cdot 10^{-5}N

However, the formula is the same for the two wires: this means that the force per meter exerted on the two wires is the same.

The same conclusion comes out  from Newton's third law of motion, which states that when an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (action-reaction). If we apply the law to this situation, we see that the force exerted by wire 1 on wire 2 is the same as the force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 (however the direction is opposite).
