A parent pushes a balanced frictionless playground merry-go-round. The parent exerts a force F tangent to the merry-go-round res

ulting in a torque of 240 N . m, the distance between the center of the merry-go-round and the point of application of the force is 1.6 m. (b) What, if any, is the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted by the merry-go-round on the man?

Answer:

F = 150 N

Explanation:

Torque being applied by parent

= F  x r

where F is force applied tangentially and r is point of application of force from axis of rotation ( center )

given torque = 240 Nm

r = 1.6 m

F x r = 240

F x 1.6 = 240

F = 150 N

So a force of 150 N is applied by the parent to achieve the given torque.

This force will also be applied by the merry - go- around  on the parent as reaction force according to Newton's third law. The parent will not be pushed back by this force  because he is standing on a rough surface . Friction of surface will help him remain stationary on the ground.

supposed to vacuum cleaner uses 120 J of electrical energy. If 45 J used to pull air into a vacuum cleaner, how efficient is the
Ainat [17]

we know that

Power efficiency is defined as the ratio of the output power divided by the input power:

so

efficiency =\frac{ Power\  out}{Power\  in} *100

in this problem

Power\  out=45J\\ Power\  in=120J

Substitute in the formula above

efficiency =\frac{ 45}{120} *100

efficiency =37.5%

therefore

the answer is

the efficient is 37.5%

Suppose a spring has a relaxed length of 28.3 cm. The simulation refers to this as the natural length. This is the length of the
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm

stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm

length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm

= 9.9 x 10⁻² m

force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )

= 5.39 N

Force constant = force applied / extension

= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²

= .5444 x 10² N /m

= 54.44 N/m
