Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 17-foot-diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses

in the outer section at a distance of 8 feet from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 5 feet from the center.(a) What is Mary's angular speed ?M compared to that of Alex's angular speed ?A? Give your answer as a multiple of ?A.(b) What is Mary's tangential speed vM compared to that of Alex's tangential speed vA? Give your answer as a multiple of vA.

Answer:

\omege_A=\omega_M

v_M=1.6v_A

Explanation:

A denotes Alex

M denotes Mary

r = Distance from center

Mary and Alex will have the equal displacements in equal interval of time as they are in uniform circular motion. So,

\omega_A=\omega_M

Tangential speed speed is given by

\dfrac{v_M}{v_A}=\dfrac{r_M\omega_M}{r_A\omega_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_M}{v_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_M}{v_A}=\dfrac{8}{5}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_M}{v_A}=1.6\\\Rightarrow v_M=1.6v_A

The tangential speed of Mary is v_M=1.6v_A

A metal detector used in airports is actually a large coil of wire carrying a small current. Explain how it detects a gun, even
Alexus [3.1K]

<u>Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own. The detector’s search coil receives the retransmitted field and alerts the user by producing a target response. metal detectors are capable of discriminating between different target types and can be set to ignore unwanted targets. </u>

1. Search Coil

The detector’s search coil transmits the electromagnetic field into the ground and receives the return electromagnetic field from a target.

2. Transmit Electromagnetic Field (visual representation only - blue)

The transmit electromagnetic field energises targets to enable them to be detected.

3. Target

A target is any metal object that can be detected by a metal detector. In this example, the detected target is treasure, which is a good (accepted) target.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

1606

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!

What is the Kinetic Energy of a tennis ball after 40.0cm of freefall?
OlgaM077 [116]
The kinetic energy is the same as the potential energy of raising it 40cm (0.4m). That's mgh where m is mass of ball. Its then 3.924*m, whatever m is equal to in kg.
