Answer:

The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one child = 16 kg

Mass of second child = 24 kg

Suppose a playground toy has two seats, each 6.1 kg, attached to very light rods of length r = 1.5 m.

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=I_{1}+I_{2}

I=(m+m_{1})\times r^2+(m+m_{2})\times r^2

m = mass of seat

m₁ =mass of one child

m₂ = mass of second child

r = radius of rod

Put the value into the formula

I=(16+6.1)\times(1.5)^2+(24+6.1)\times(1.5)^2

I=117.45\ kg-m^2

Hence, The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

KatRina [158]
Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

Which energy source is formed when organic matter is trapped underground without exposure to air or moisture?. . A. natural gas.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. coal

Explanation:

Coal is made of remains of organic material including trees and other vegetation which got trapped beneath the earth’s surface or at the bottom of the swamps. After burial below the ground the organic material was acted upon by the high temperature and pressure in the absence of air to form peat. Peat after further processing for a longer period of time converted into coal
