A mechanic needs to replace the motor for a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round should accelerate from rest to 1.5 rad/s in 6.0s

. Consider the merry-go-round to be a uniform disk of radius 5.5m and mass 29,000 kg. Suppose that it is supported by bearings that produce negligible friction torque.What torque specifications must the new motor satisfy?

Answer:

109656.25 Nm

Explanation:

\omega_f = Final angular velocity = 1.5 rad/s

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 0

\alpha = Angular acceleration

t = Time taken = 6 s

m = Mass of disk = 29000 kg

r = Radius = 5.5 m

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{1.5-0}{6}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=0.25\ rad/s^2

Torque is given by

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}29000\times 5.5^2\times 0.25\\\Rightarrow \tau=109656.25\ Nm

The torque specifications must be 109656.25 Nm

X-rays cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere. Which of these is the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays f
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.

A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding
Yuki888 [10]

For the part a) we need only the momentum of the box and we have the data to find it.

Momentum is given by,

p=mv

where clearly, p is the momentum, m the mass of the box and v is the velocity.

Substituting,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

For part b) we need an analysis of the situation. We understand that the box on a surface that has no friction will continue to rotate at the same speed previously defined. The box can only stop with friction, so,

p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s

<em>It is the same that part a)</em>
