We can model a small merry-go-round as a uniform circular disk with mass 88 kg and diameter 1.8 m. How many 22 kg children need

to ride the merry-go-round, standing right at the outer edge, to double the moment of inertia of the system?

Answer:

n = 2 children

Explanation:

Given

M = 88 Kg

D = 1.8 m ⇒  R = D/2 = 1.8 m/2 = 0.9 m

m = 22 Kg

n = ?

We apply the formula

Icm = M*R²/2

⇒ Icm = (88 Kg)*(0.9 m)²/2 = 35.64 Kg*m²

If

I = 2*Icm = 2*35.64 Kg*m² = 71.28 Kg*m²

we apply Steiner's Theorem as follows

I = Icm + n*m*R²

⇒  n = (I - Icm) / (m*R²)

⇒  n = (71.28 Kg*m² - 35.64 Kg*m²) / (22 Kg*(0.9 m)²)

⇒  n = 2 children

Question 4. A tuning fork ‘A’ produces 6 beats/sec with another fork ‘B’ of un-known frequency. On
8090 [49]

Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.  So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is      6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz.  But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz.  That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz.  While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.

Why are noise considerations important in optical fiber communications? 3. Describe the principle of "population inversion".
pochemuha

Answer and Explanation:

the electronic devices always have some noises present in the signal

there are some important considerations in optical fiber communications these are.

  • the noise which is contributed by transmitter are electronic random noise, low frequency noise
  • noise which is contributed by laser are relative intensity noise, mode partition noise, conversion of phase noise to amplitude noise.
  • noise contributed by photo detector are quantum shot noise, shot noise from dark current, avalanche multiplication noise.

PRINCIPLE OF POPULATION INVERSION :

The principle of population inversion is defined as for production of high percentage of simulated emission for a laser beam the number of atoms in higher state should be greater than lower energy state

How would you describe brass since it ia used in weapons, pipes, intruments and ect? A compound, Alloy, Element l, Or molecule?
Alik [6]
<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.</span>
