by angular momentum conservation we will have
angular momentum of child + angular momentum of merry go round = 0
angular momentum of child = mvR
m = mass of child
R = radius of child
v = speed = 2 m/s
now let's say moment of inertia of merry go round is I
so we will have
so merry go round will turn in opposite direction with above speed
Answer:
76969.29 W
Explanation:
Applying,
P = F×v............. Equation 1
Where P = Power, F = force, v = velocity
But,
F = ma.......... Equation 2
Where m = mass, a = acceleration
Also,
a = (v-u)/t......... Equation 3
Given: u = 0 m/s ( from rest), v = 12.87 m/s, t = 3.47 s
Substitute these values into equation 3
a = (12.87-0)/3.47
a = 3.71 m/s²
Also Given: m = 1612 kg
Substitute into equation 2
F = 1612(3.71)
F = 5980.52 N.
Finally,
Substitute into equation 1
P = 5980.52×12.87
P = 76969.29 W
Momentum before the hit:
p = mv = 0.01 * 300 + 1 * 0
Momentum after the hit:
p = 0.01 * 150 + 1 * v
Momentum is conserved:
0.01 * 300 = 0.01 * 150 + v
3 = 1.5 + v
v = 1.5
The velocity of the block after the collision is 1.5 m/s.
