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

I NEED HELP SOLVING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neko [114]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed with which the fastball is hit, u = 49.1 m/s (109.9 mph)

The angle in which the fastball is hit, θ = 22°

The distance of the field = 96 m (315 ft)

The range of the projectile motion of the fastball is given by the following formula

Range = \dfrac{u^2 \times sin(2\cdot \theta)}{g}

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s², we have;

Range = \dfrac{49.1^2 \times sin(2\times22^{\circ})}{9.81} \approx 170.71 \ m

Yes, given that the ball's range is larger than the extent of the field, the batter is able to safely reach home.

You are working in a shoe test laboratory measuring the coefficients of friction for running shoes on a variety of surfaces. The
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Since the static frictional force is the maximum force applied just before sliding, our frictional force, F is 300 N.

Since F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = normal force = 400 N (which is the downward force applied against the surface).

So, μ = F/N

= 300 N/400 N

= 3/4

= 0.75

So, the  coefficient of static friction μ = 0.75

A fish scale, consisting of a spring with spring constant k=200N/m, is hung vertically from the ceiling. A 2.6 kg fish is attach
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fish is initially at rest and it is also at rest when the spring is fully stretched at the maximum distance.

Change in gravity potential energy = change in spring potential energy

mgh = 1/2kh^2

Assume gravity constant g is 10m/s^2

2.6*10*h = 1/2*200*h^2

100h^2 - 26h = 0

2h(50h - 13) = 0

h = 0 or h = 13/50 = 0.65m

h = 0 is before the spring is stretched

So the maximum distance is 0.65m.
