Answer:

3/2 R

Explanation:

Let the Mass of man be m, Mass of earth be M.

By Newtons, law of gravitation,

F = GMm/R^2, Where G is gravitational constant

90 = GMm/R^2

When man weighs 40N,

GMm/(New R)^2 = 40

= 4/9 (90)

GMm/(New R)^2 = 4/9 (GMm/R^2)

(New R)^2 = 9/4 R^2

New R = 3/2 R

Therefore, height is 3/2 R

A playground carousel is rotating counterclockwise about its center on frictionless bearings. A person standing still on the gro

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

1.94601 rad/s

Explanation:

$I_1$ = Moment of inertia of carousel = 124 kgm²

$\omega_1$ = Angular speed of carousel = 3.5 rad/s

$\omega_2$ = Angular speed of person

r = Radius of carousel = 1.53 m

m = Mass of person = 42.3 kg

Moment of inertia of person

$I_2=mr^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=42.3\times 1.53^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=99.02007\ kgm^2$

As the angular momentum is conserved in the system

$I_1\omega_1=(I_1+I_2)\omega_2\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{I_1\omega_1}{(I_1+I_2)}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=\frac{124\times 3.5}{(124+99.02007)}\\\Rightarrow \omega_2=1.94601\ rad/s$

The angular speed of the carousel after the person climbs aboard is 1.94601 rad/s

The efficiency of a machine is 80%? What does it mean?

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

It means how much input work you put into the machine, which then becomes output from the machine. So you're putting 80% of work into the machinie. To find the efficency of a machine, it's output divided by input work.
