Answer:

The girl has greater tangential acceleration

Explanation:

The angular acceleration (\alpha) of the merry go round is equal to the rate of the change of the angular velocity, \omega:

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

Since all the points of the merry go round complete 1 circle in the same time, the angular velocity of each point of the merry go round is the same, and so all the points also have the same angular acceleration.

The tangential acceleration instead is given by

a_t = \alpha r

where

\alpha is the angular acceleration

r is the distance from the centre of the merry go round

Since the girl is near the outer edge and the boy is closer to the centre, the value of r for the girl is larger than for the boy, so the girl has greater tangential acceleration.

A) what is the light source for a plant growing in the shade?
Ulleksa [173]

a.) Plants that thrive in the shade are often able to hold on to sunlight for extensive periods of time; they're in a sense like the camels of the plaNt WoRld.

b.) Though artificial lights are not nearly as beneficial as the sun, one could invest in one of them plant growing light thingies, but sun-loving plants might be sad if u do this instead of letting them soak in ePic rays from the sun.

An object of mass 3.00kg, moving with an initial velocity of 5.00 i^ m/s , collides with and sticks to an object of mass 2.00 kg
musickatia [10]

The final velocity of the composite object is 6/5 m/sec.

<h3>what is velocity?</h3>
  • Velocity is the direction at which an item is moving and serves as a measure of the rate at which its location is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time (for example, 60 km/h northbound).
  • In kinematics, the area of classical mechanics that deals with the motion of bodies, velocity is a basic idea.
  • A physical vector quantity called velocity must have both a magnitude and a direction in order to be defined.
  • Speed is the scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity; it is a coherent derived unit whose quantity is measured in metres per second (m/s or m/s1) in the SI (metric system).
