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

A negative charge of - 8.0 x 10^-6 C exerts an attractive force of 12 N on a second charge that is
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<h2>Magnitude of the second charge is -4.17*10^{-7}C</h2>

Explanation:

According to columbs law;

F = kq1q2/r^{2}

F is the attractive or repulsive force between the charges = 12N

q1 and q2 are the charges

let q1 = - 8.0 x 10^-6 C

q2=?

r is the distance between the charges = 0.050m

k is the coulumbs constant =9*10⁹ kg⋅m³⋅s⁻⁴⋅A⁻²

On substituting the given values

12 = 9*10⁹*( - 8.0 x 10^-6)q2/0.050²

Cross multiplying

0.03=9*10^{9}*  -8.0*10^{-6} q2\\0.03 = -72*10^{3} q2\\q2 = \frac{0.03}{ -72*10^{3}} \\q2 = -4.17*10^{-7}C

According to Newton’s first law of motion, when will an object at rest begin to move?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Newton's first law of motion says something like "An object remains
in constant, uniform motion until acted on by an external force".

Constant uniform motion means no change in speed or direction.
If an object changes from rest to motion, that's definitely a change
of speed.  So it doesn't remain in the state of constant uniform
motion (none) that it had when it was at rest, and that tells us
that an external force must have acted on it.

A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur
emmasim [6.3K]

• Net vertical force on the block:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

(<em>n</em> = magnitude of normal force, <em>w</em> = weight)

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>m g</em>

(<em>m</em> = mass, <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s²)

<em>n</em> = (4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N

• Net horizontal force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> = <em>m a</em>

(<em>f</em> = mag. of friction, <em>a</em> = acceleration)

We have <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (39.2 N) = 19.6 N, so

-19.6 N = (4 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = -4.9 m/s²

With this acceleration, the block comes to a rest from an initial speed of 5 m/s, so that it travels a distance ∆<em>x</em> in this time such that

0² - (5 m/s)² = 2 (-4.9 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (25 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.55 m ≈ 2.6 m
