A 215-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope a

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

303.9481875 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2 seconds

F = Force

r = Radius = 1.5 m

I = Moment of Inertia

$\alpha$ = Angular Acceleration

Torque

$\tau=F\times r$

$\tau=I\times \alpha$

$\\\Rightarrow F\times r=I\times \alpha\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{I\times \alpha}{r}$

Angular velocity

$\omega=rev/s\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.6\times 2\pi\\\Rightarrow \omega=3.76991\ rad/s$

Angular acceleration

$\alpha=\frac{\omega}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{3.76991}{2}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=1.88495\ rad/s^2$

$I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{2}215\times 1.5^2\\\Rightarrow I=241.875\ kgm^2$

$F=\frac{I\times \alpha}{r}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{241.875\times 1.88495}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow F=303.9481875\ N$

The magnitude of the force to stop the merry-go-round is 303.9481875 N

How much energy was released if rocket hydrogen fuel was burnt ?

suter [353]

When ignited, the gas mixture converts to water vapor and releases energy, which sustains the reaction: 241.8 kJ of energy (LHV) for every mole of H2 burned.” A mole of hydrogen weighs 2 grams. So, this is a LHV (lower heating value) of 120.9 kJ/gram of hydrogen when heat of vaporization is subtracted.

Two people are standing on a 3.12-m-long platform, one at each end. The platform floats parallel to the ground on a cushion of a

Ann [662]

Answer:

The magnitude of displacement is 0.082m

Explanation:

While the ball is in motion,we have MV + mv= 0 ...eq1

Where M = combined mass of the platform and the two people.

V = velocity of the platform

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity of the ball

The distance that the platform moves is given by:

X = Vt ...eq2

Where t is the time that the ball is in the air.

The time the ball is in the air is given by:

L/(v-V) ...eq3

Where L is the length of the platform

The quantity(v-V) = velocity of the ball relative to the platform.

Combining eq2 and eq3

X = (V/(v - V))L

From eq1 , the ratios of the velocities is V/v = -m/M

X = (V/v)L / (1 - (V/v) = (-m/M) L /(1+ (m/M))

X = -mL/(M + m)

X = - (3.36kg × 3.12m) /( 119kg + 3.36kg)

X = - 10.48/ 122.36

X = -0.082m

The minus sign implies that the displacement of the platform is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the ball.

Therefore, the distance moved by the platform is the magnitude of this displacement 0.082m.
