A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 50 kg and a diameter of 4.0 m. There are 4 children who want to ride on it. They have

masses of 15 kg, 18 kg, 22 kg, and 25 kg. They start out on the edge of the merrygo-round but later move toward the center until they are halfway between the edge and the center.
A. Sketch the arrangement of the children on the merry-go-round when they are at the edge and halfway to the middle.
B. What is the total moment of inertia for both arrangements?
C. The children are standing at the edge when their parents get the ride turning at 0.21 radians/sec. What is their tangential velocity and the period of rotation?
D. While the ride rotates the children move to their positions halfway to the center. What is the angular velocity when they get to their new spots? Explain.

Answer:

B) I1 = 1680 kg.m^2          I2 = 1120 kg.m^2

C) V = 0.84m/s      T = 29.92s

D) ω2 = 0.315 rad/s

Explanation:

The moment of inertia when they are standing on the edge:

I1 = 1/2*M*R^2 + (m1+m2+m3+m4)*R^2   where M is the mass of the merry-go-round.

I1 = 1680 kg.m^2

The moment of inertia when they are standing half way to the center:

I2 = 1/2*M*R^2 + (m1+m2+m3+m4)*(R/2)^2

I2 = 1120 kg.m^2

The tangencial velocity is given by:

V = ω1*R = 0.84m/s

Period of rotation:

T = 2π / ω1 = 29.92s

Assuming that there is no friction and their parents are not pushing anymore, we can use conservation of the angular momentum to calculate the new angular velocity:

I1*ω1 = I2*ω2    Solving for ω2:

ω2 = I1*ω1 / I2 = 0.315 rad/s

Explain a police role, and how important it is. also you can explain a mayor's role and how important it is...

A police's role in the community is to protect us and make sure that everyone is following the rules. it is important for a police to be there so we can be safe. Their status is fair enough. Another Example is a mayor. a mayor's job is to improve the city/ the community. His status is high. There are many people around us that help us, each with a different status.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Bio psychology

Explanation:

Since, Dr. Wolski does research on the potential relationship between neurotransmitter deficiencies and mood states. His psychological specialty must be biological psychology.

Biological psychology, or bio psychology, is a discipline in which scientific investigation and clinical practice investigates the relation between brain and body. In this area scholars evaluate the biological basis of feelings, impulses and behaviors.

When you mix a solution, the mass of the substances before and after you mix them should be the same.true or false
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The mixing substances can be taken to be the reactants and the resulting mixture as the product. When the substances change state during mixing, the mass of the substances does not change meaning that the mass of the product will equal the mass of the reactants .This is true due to the law of conservation of mass.
