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

Four identical masses m are evenly spaced on a frictionless 1D track. The first mass is sent at speed v toward the other three.
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The speed decreases 75%.

Explanation:

  • Since no friction present, assuming no external forces acting during the three collisions, total momentum must be conserved.
  • For the first collission, only mass 1 is moving before it, so we can write the following equation:

       p_{i} = p_{f} = m*v_{o}    (1)

  • Since both masses are identical, and they stick together after the collision, we can express the final momentum as follows:

       p_{f1} = 2*m*v_{1}    (2)

  • From (1) and (2) we get:
  • v₁ = v₀/2  (3)
  • Since the masses are moving on a frictionless 1D track, the speed of the set of mass 1 and 2 combined together before colliding with mass 3 is just v₁, so the initial momentum prior the second collision (p₁) can be expressed as follows:

       p_{1} = 2*m*v_{1} = 2*m*\frac{v_{o} }{2}  = m*v (4)

  • Since after the collision the three masses stick together, we can express this final momentum (p₂) as follows:

        p_{2} = 3*m*v_{2}  (5)

  • From (4) and (5) we get:
  • v₂ = v₀/3  (6)
  • Since the masses are moving on a frictionless 1D track, the speed of the set of mass 1, 2 and 3 combined together before colliding with mass 4 is just v₂, so the initial momentum prior the third collision (p₂) can be expressed as follows:

      p_{2} = 3*m*v_{2} = 3*m*\frac{v_{o} }{3}  = m*v (7)

  • Since after the collision the four masses stick together, we can express this final momentum (p₃) as follows:

       p_{3} = 4*m*v_{3}  (8)

  • From (7) and (8) we get:
  • v₃ = v₀/4
  • This means that after the last collision, the speed will have been reduced to a 25% of the initial value, so it will have been reduced in a 75% regarding the initial value of v₀.

Horseshoe bats (genus Rhinolophus) emit sounds from their nostrils, then listen to the frequency of the sound reflected from the
Triss [41]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

This is the step by step explanation to the above question:

v_i = v [ f_L *(v - v_b) - f_s*(v + v_b)] / [f_L * (v - v_b) + f_s*(v +v_b)]

= v * (83.1 * (v-4.3) - 80.7 ( v+4.3))/ [83.1 *(v - 4.3) + 80.7*(v + 4.3)]

v = 344 m/s

vi = 344 * ( 83.1* (344-4.3) - 80.7*(344+4.3) ) / (83.1 *(344 - 4.3) + 80.7*(344 + 4.3))

= 0.74 m/s
