Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go-round is 632.82 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the merry-go-round, W = 649 N

radius of the merry-go-round, r = 1.05 m

applied horizontal force, F =  61.3 N

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

mass of  merry-go-round, m = W/g

                                               = 649/9.8  = 66.225 kg

moment of inertia of merry-go-round, I = ¹/₂mr²

                                                                 = ¹/₂ x 66.225 x (1.05)²

                                                                 = 36.507 kg.m²

Angular acceleration of the merry-go-round, α

τ = Iα = Fr

α = Fr / I

Where;

α is angular acceleration

α = (61.3 x 1.05) / 36.507

α = 1.763 rad/s²

Angular velocity of the merry-go-round, ω

ω = αt

ω = 1.763 x 3.34

ω = 5.888 rad/s

Finally, the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round, K.E

K.E = ¹/₂Iω²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 36.507 x (5.888)²

K.E = 632.82 J

In a popular classroom demonstration, a cotton ball is placed in the bottom of a strong test tube. A plunger fits inside the tub
mario62 [17]

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.  

P = kT  

<em>where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.</em>

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.      

I hope it helps you!

A box accidentally drops from a truck traveling at a speed of 20.0 m/s and slides along the ground for a distance of 30.0 m Calc
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

The initial speed of the box ,u= 20 m/s

The final speed of the box ,v=  0 m/s

The distance cover by box ,s= 30 m

Lets take the acceleration of the box = a

We know that

v²= u ² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

0²=20² + 2 a x 30

a=- \dfrac{20^2}{2\times 30} \ m/s^2

a= - 6.667 m/s²

Negative sign indicates that velocity and acceleration are in opposite direction.

Therefore the acceleration of the box will be  - 6.667 m/s² .

A current of 5.0 a flows through an electrical device for 10 seconds. how many electrons flow through this device during this ti
melisa1 [442]
1 Amp = 1 Coulomb/sec
1 Coulomb/sec = 6.25*10^18 electrons/sec

Therefore,
5.0 A = 5 C/s = 5*6.25*10^18 = 3.125*10^19 e/s

In 10 second, number of electrons are calculated as;
Number of electrons through the device = 3.125*10^19*10 = 3.125*10^20 electrons
