Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg · m². The father

exerts a force on the merry-go-round perpendicular to its 1.50 m radius to achieve a torque of 375 N · m.
(a) Calculate the rotational kinetic energy (in J) in the merry-go-round plus child when they have an angular velocity of 14.8 rpm. J
(b) Using energy considerations, find the number of revolutions the father will have to push to achieve this angular velocity starting from rest. revolutions
(c) Again, using energy considerations, calculate the force (in N) the father must exert to stop the merry-go-round in four revolutions. N

Answer:

Part a)

KE = 101.4 J

Part b)

N = 0.043 revolution

Part c)

F = 2.7 N

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the rotational kinetic energy of the merry go round is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

KE = \frac{1}{2}84.4(\omega^2)

here we know that

\omega = 2\pi(\frac{14.8}{60})

\omega = 1.55 rad/s

Now we have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(84.4)(1.55^2)

KE = 101.4 J

Part b)

Now we know that work done due to torque = change in kinetic energy

W = KE_f - KE_i

\tau (2N\pi) = 101.4 - 0

375(2\pi N) = 101.4

N = 0.043 revolution

Part c)

In order to stop it in four revolutions we have

\tau(2\pi N) = \Delta KE

FR(2\pi N) = 101.4

F(1.5)(2\pi \times 4) = 101.4

F = 2.7 N

What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below?
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is A. 32.5

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force that is input into a machine to the force output.

Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by that of the axle.

MA=R/r where R is the radius of the wheel and  r is the radius of the axle.

Substituting for the values in the question gives:

MA=26cm/0.8cm

    =32.5

Heavy crate sits at rest on the floor of a warehouse. you push on the crate with a force of 400 n, and it doesn't budge. what is
maks197457 [2]

Heavy crate sits at rest on the floor of a warehouse. you push on the crate with a force of 400 N, and it doesn't budge. The magnitude of the friction force on the crate in Newton is 400N

This is due to Friction force, which is defined as the resisting force that acts on a body when it is at rest (Static friction) or when it is in motion (Kinetic friction).

When a force is applied on a stationary body, the force of static friction starts to act on the body which prevents any relative motion between the object and surface. The magnitude of friction increases up to μsN, where μs is the coefficient of static friction. As the crate didn't budge, it means the amount of force applied was less than μsN. Hence the force applied was canceled by an equal and opposite amount of frictional force which was equal to 400N.

A 250 kg car has 6875 kg•m/s of momentum. What is it’s velocity?
liraira [26]

Answer:

v = 27.5 m/s

Explanation:

p = m × v

6,875 = 250 × v

250v = 6,875

v = 6,875/250

v = 27.5 m/s
