Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses in the outer sec

tion at a distance of 2.0 m from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 1.0 m from the center. The carousel takes 3.7 s to make each complete revolution.
a) What is Mary's angular speed %u03C9M and tangential speed vM?

b) What is Alex's angular speed %u03C9A and tangential speed vA?

Answer:

ωM = 1.7 rad/s

vM = 3.4 m/s

ωA = 1.7 rad/s

vA =  1.7  m/s

Explanation:

Calculation of the angular speed (ω)

We use the following formula for circular motion:

ω = θ / t Formula (1)

Where:

ω: angular speed (rad/s)

θ:angle that the particle travels (rad)

t: time interval (s)

Equivalence

1 revolution = 2π rad

Data

θ= 1 revolution = 2π rad

t = 3.7 s

We replace data in the formula (1):

ω = (2π rad) / (3.7s )= 1.7 rad/s

Because the angular speed depends only on the number of turns in a time interval then Mary's angular speed (ωM) is equal to Alex's angular speed (ωA).

ωM = ωA = 1.7 rad/s

Calculation of the  tangential speed (v)

We use the following formula for circular motion:

v = ω*r  Formula (2)

Where:

v : tangential speed (m/s)

ω: angular speed ( rad/s)

r  : radius of the circular path (m)

Data

ωM = ωM = ω= 1.7 rad/s

rM = 2m  : Mary's circular path radius

rA = 1m :  Alex's circular path radius

We apply the formula (2) to calculate v:

vM = ω* rM = (1.7) (2) = 3.4 m/s

vA = ω* rA = (1.7) (1) =  1.7  m/s

At a fixed depth within a fluid at rest, the pressure pushing upward is
earnstyle [38]

Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 77.2 kg hop on board for a ride
lions [1.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion and Hook's law.

By Hook's law we know that force is defined as,

F= kx

Where,

k = spring constant

x = Displacement change

PART A) For the case of the spring constant we can use the above equation and clear k so that

k= \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{77.2*9.8}{0.0637}

k = 11876.92N/m

Therefore the spring constant for each one is 11876.92/2 = 5933.46N/m

PART B) In the case of speed we can obtain it through the period, which is given by

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}

Re-arrange to find \omega,

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.14}

\omega = 2.93rad/s

Then through angular kinematic equations where angular velocity is given as a function of mass and spring constant we have to

\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m}

m = \frac{k}{\omega^2}

m = \frac{ 11876.92}{2.93}

m = 4093.55Kg

Therefore the mass of the trailer is 4093.55Kg

PART C) The frequency by definition is inversely to the period therefore

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{2.14}

f = 0.4672 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the oscillation is 0.4672 Hz

PART D) The time it takes to make the route 10 times would be 10 times the period, that is

t_T = 10*T

t_T = 10 *2.14s

t_T = 21.4s

Therefore the total time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10 times is 21.4s

Will mark as brainlist for only correct answer
Crank

Answer:

low, low

Explanation:

Longer wavelengths will have lower frequencies, and shorter wavelengths will have higher frequencies.

Large amplitude waves contain more energy. The other is frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by each second. If more waves( or more wiggly lines)  pass by, more energy is transferred each second

Hold the paper up to a mirror so
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The image of everything in front of the mirror is reflected backward, retracing the path it traveled to get there. Nothing is switching left to right or up-down. Instead, it's being inverted front to back. ... That reflection represents the photons of light, bouncing back in the same direction from which they came

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Gametes are the cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism.

Explanation:

The male gamete or sperm, is a smaller, mobile cell that meets up with the much larger and less mobile female gamete, egg or ova.
