Answer:
Explanation:
a) Power consumption is 4100 J/min / 60 s/min = 68.3 W(atts)
work done raised the potential energy
b) 75(9.8)(1000) / (3(3600)) = 68.055555... 68.1 W
c) efficiency is 68.1 / 68.3 = 0.99593... or nearly 100%
Not a very likely scenario.
Four of them pass a point every second.
<span>1.7 rad/s
The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.</span>
