A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.9 m and moment of inertia I = 209 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of ω

= 1.63 rad/s in the counter clockwise direection when viewed from above. A person with mass m = 73 kg and velocity v = 4.8 m/s runs on a path tangent to the merry-go-round. Once at the merry-go-round the person jumps on and holds on to the rim of the merry-go-round.
What is the magnitude of the initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round?

Answer:

340.67 kgm²/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of merry-go-round = 1.9 m

I = Moment of inertia = 209 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 1.63 rad/s

m = Mass of person = 73 kg

v = Velocity = 4.8 m/s

Initial angular momentum is given by

L=I\omega_i\\\Rightarrow L=209\times 1.63\\\Rightarrow L=340.67\ kgm^2/s

The initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round is 340.67 kgm²/s

Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond. what is the major difference between the two
Naddik [55]
Given that Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples since they both caused by throwing a rock into the pond, the major difference between the two is that the energy source of tsunami waves is much greater compared to ripples. Ripples are just transverse waves. Hope this answers your question.

1. Have you ever tried to undergo an X- ray to test on youur body? What can you see in the fiom after the examination? Why is th
liraira [26]

Answer:

1) λ < 2d,  2)  nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.

Which of the following is an example of kinetic energy?
Lisa [10]
Kinetic Energy is the energy by virtue of object's motion. In first two options, no motion has occurred, so there would be no energy, and kinetic energy can also be seen in a swinging both which is in last option in the question.

In short, Your Answer would be Option D) A swing moving back and forth

Hope this helps!
