Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a

t the edge of the merry-go-round, and the fifth child is sitting exactly at the center. The children have the same mass of 30.0 kg. You may consider the merry-go-round as a cylinder of mass 150 kg and a radius 2.0 meters.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²

At time t=0, a particle is located at the point (3,6,9). It travels in a straight line to the point (5,2,7), has speed 8 at (3,6
Elis [28]

The particle has constant acceleration according to

\vec a(t)=2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k

Its velocity at time t is

\displaystyle\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+\int_0^t\vec a(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+(2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k)t

\vec v(t)=(v_{0x}+2t)\,\vec\imath+(v_{0y}-4t)\,\vec\jmath+(v_{0z}-2t)\,\vec k

Then the particle has position at time t according to

\displaystyle\vec r(t)=\vec r(0)+\int_0^t\vec v(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec r(t)=(3+v_{0x}t+t^2)\,\vec\imath+(6+v_{0y}t-2t^2)\,\vec\jmath+(9+v_{0z}t-t^2)\,\vec k

At at the point (3, 6, 9), i.e. when t=0, it has speed 8, so that

\|\vec v(0)\|=8\iff{v_{0x}}^2+{v_{0y}}^2+{v_{0z}}^2=64

We know that at some time t=T, the particle is at the point (5, 2, 7), which tells us

\begin{cases}3+v_{0x}T+T^2=5\\6+v_{0y}T-2T^2=2\\9+v_{0z}T-T^2=7\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}v_{0x}=\dfrac{2-T^2}T\\\\v_{0y}=\dfrac{2T^2-4}T\\\\v_{0z}=\dfrac{T^2-2}T\end{cases}

and in particular we see that

v_{0y}=-2v_{0x}

and

v_{0z}=-v_{0x}

Then

{v_{0x}}^2+(-2v_{0x})^2+(-v_{0x})^2=6{v_{0x}}^2=64\implies v_{0x}=\pm\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3

\implies v_{0y}=\mp\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3

\implies v_{0z}=\mp\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3

That is, there are two possible initial velocities for which the particle can travel between (3, 6, 9) and (5, 2, 7) with the given acceleration vector and given that it starts with a speed of 8. Then there are two possible solutions for its position vector; one of them is

\vec r(t)=\left(3+\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t+t^2\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(6-\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3t-2t^2\right)\,\vec\jmath+\left(9-\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t-t^2\right)\,\vec k

a trampoline launches a 50kg person 2m into the air. if the springs push with 1960N of force, how much displacement was there in
Lina20 [59]

Answer: 0.5 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the person is m=50\ kg

Trampoline launches the person into the air up to height of h=2\ m

Force experience by springs is F=1960\ N

Here, the work done on displacing the springs is equivalent to the Potential energy acquired by the person i.e.

\Rightarrow F\cdot x=mgh\quad [\text{x=displacement of the trampoline}]\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50\times 9.8\times 2}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{980}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.5\ m

A point moves on the x-axis in such a way that its velocity at time t (t > 0) is given by v=ln t/t . At what value of t does
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of point is given by v=\frac{\ln t}{t}

To get maximum or minimum velocity differentiate v w.r.t t

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\frac{1}{t}\times t-1\times \ln(t)}{t^2}

so 1-\ln (t) should be equal to zero

\ln (t)=1

t=e

i.e. t=2.718\ s
