I am a competitive figure skater.  There are certain turns you can use such as a mowhawk, where you set one foot down that is facing the opposite direction from which you are gliding.  There is a two foot turn, where you either go on or toes and turn backwards, or lean somewhat on your heals and turn forwards.  Use your hips to help turn.  And a 3 turn, which is basically a 2 foot turn on 1 foot.  But remember, it takes practice, and you may fall a couple times.

A flat uniform circular disk (r= 2.00m,
dusya [7]

Incomplete question.The Complete question is here

A flat uniform circular disk (radius = 2.00 m, mass = 1.00 ✕ 102 kg) is initially stationary. The disk is free to rotate in the horizontal plane about a friction less axis perpendicular to the center of the disk. A 40.0-kg person, standing 1.25 m from the axis, begins to run on the disk in a circular path and has a tangential speed of 2.00 m/s relative to the ground.

a.) Find the resulting angular speed of the disk (in rad/s) and describe the direction of the rotation.

b.) Determine the time it takes for a spot marking the starting point to pass again beneath the runner's feet.

Answer:

(a)ω = 1 rad/s

(b)t = 2.41 s

Explanation:

(a) initial angular momentum = final angular momentum  

0 = L for disk + L............... for runner

0 = Iω² - mv²r ...................they're opposite in direction

0 = (MR²/2)(ω²) - mv²r ................where is ω is angular speed which is required in part (a) of question

0 = [(1.00×10²kg)(2.00 m)² / 2](ω²) - (40.0 kg)(2.00 m/s)²(1.25 m)

0=200ω²-200

200=200ω²

ω = 1 rad/s

b.)

lets assume the "starting point" is a point marked on the disk.

The person's angular speed is  

v/r = (2.00 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 1.6 rad/s

As the person and the disk are moving in opposite directions, the person will run part of a revolution and the turning disk would complete the whole revolution.

(angle) + (angle disk turns) = 2π

(1.6 rad/s)(t) + ωt = 2π

t[1.6 rad/s + 1 rad/s] = 2π

t = 2.41 s

a car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds what is its acceleration?
Irina18 [472]
We can solve for the acceleration by using a kinematic equation. First we should identify what we know so we can choose the  correct equation.

We are given an original velocity of 24 m/s, a final velocity of 0 m/s, and a time  of 6 s. We and looking for acceleration (a) in m/s^2.

The following equation has everything we need:

v_f=v_i + at

So plug in the known values and solve for a:

0 = 24 + 6a

-24 = 6a

a = -4 m/s^2

A mass of 1000 kg drops from a height of 10 m on a platform of negligible mass. It is desired to design a spring and dashpot on
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

k = 5\times 10^{4}\ N/m

b = 0.707\times 10^{3}

t = 7.1\times 10^{- 5}\ s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the block, m = 1000 kg

Height, h = 10 m

Equilibrium position, x = 0.2 m

Now,

The velocity when the mass falls from a height of 10 m is given by the third eqn of motion:

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gh

where

u = initial velocity = 0

g = 10m/s^{2}

Thus

v = \sqrt{2\times 10\times 10} = 10\sqrt{2}\ m/s

Force on the mass is given by:

F = mg = 1000\times 10 = 10000 N = 10\ kN

Also, we know that the spring force is given by:

F = - kx

Thus

k = \frac{F}{x} = \frac{10000}{0.2} = 5\times 10^{4}\ N/m

Now, to find the damping constant b, we know that:

F = - bv

b = \frac{F}{v} = \frac{10000}{10\sqrt{2}} = 0.707\times 10^{3}

Now,

Time required for the platform to get settled to 1 mm or 0.001 m is given by:

t = \frac{0.001}{v} = \frac{0.001}{10\sqrt{2}} = 7.1\times 10^{- 5}\ s
