Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the truest value while precision shows how close the measurements are to one another when repeated analysis of the same measurements are performed. Precision most likely is free from any any variation.

A merry-go-round on a playground consists of a horizontal solid disk with a weight of 805 N and a radius of 1.58 m. A child appl

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The value is $KE = 259.6 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the horizontal solid disk is $W = 805 \ N$

The radius of the horizontal solid disk is $r = 1.58 \ m$

The force applied by the child is $F = 49.5 \ N$

The time considered is $t = 2.95 \ s$

Generally the mass of the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

$m_h = \frac{W}{ g}$

=> $m_h = \frac{805}{ 9.8 }$

=> $m_h = 82.14 \ N$

Generally the moment of inertia of the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{1}{2} * m * r^ 2$

=> $I = \frac{1}{2} * 82.14 * 1.58^ 2$

=> $I = 102.5 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Generally the net torque experienced by the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

$T = I * \alpha = F * r$

=> $\alpha = \frac{ F * r }{ I }$

=> $\alpha = \frac{ 49.5 * 1.58 }{ 102.53 }$

=> $\alpha = 0.7628$

Gnerally from kinematic equation we have that

$w = w_o + \alpha t$

Here $w_o$ is the initial angular velocity velocity of the horizontal solid disk which is $w_o = 0\ rad/s$

So

$w = 0 + 0.7628 * 2.95$

=> $w = 2.2503 \ rad/s$

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * I * w^2$

=> $KE = \frac{1}{2} * 102.53 * 2.2503 ^2$

=> $KE = 259.6 \ J$

A 0.2 kg hockey puck moving at 80 m/s is caught by a 40 kg goalie at rest. With what speed does the goalie slide on the slide?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

V = 0.39 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hockey puck, m = 0.2 kg

Mass of goalie = 40 kg

Speed of hockey puck, v = 80 m/s

We need to find the speed with which the goalie slide on the slide. Let V be the speed. Using the conservation of momentum as follows :

$mv=(M+m)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{M+m}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.2\times 80}{0.2+40}\\\\V=0.39\ m/s$

So, the required speed is 0.39 m/s.

So I'm struggling with rearranging kinematic formulas. Does anyone have any steps or something to help.

bekas [8.4K]

Rearranging formulas is all about simple algebra rules. Just like when solving for x in an equation, you're just isolating whichever variable you want. I'll work this one out for you and hopefully it'll help, but if you need more explanation, then feel free to comment!

D = ViT + 0.5at² Subtract ViT from both sides

D - ViT = 0.5at² Divide both sides by 0.5t²

$\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} } = \frac{0.5at^{2} }{0.5t^{2} }$ I wrote this step out a little more to show how your fraction will cancel

$\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} }$ = a I like to flip these around so the single variable is on the right

a = $\frac{D - ViT}{0.5t^{2} }$
