A horizontal 810-N merry-go-round of radius 1.60 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 55 N applied tangentia

Sloan [31]

Answer:

576 joules

Explanation:

From the question we are given the following:

weight = 810 N

radius (r) = 1.6 m

horizontal force (F) = 55 N

time (t) = 4 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

where MI is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity

MI = 0.5 x m x r^2

mass = weight ÷ g = 810 ÷ 9.8 = 82.65 kg

MI = 0.5 x 82.65 x 1.6^{2}

MI = 105.8 kg.m^{2}

angular velocity (ω) = a x t

angular acceleration (a) = torque ÷ MI

where torque = F x r = 55 x 1.6 = 88 N.m

a= 88 ÷ 105.8 = 0.83 rad /s^{2}

therefore

angular velocity (ω) = a x t = 0.83 x 4 = 3.33 rad/s

K.E = 0.5 x MI x ω^{2}

K.E = 0.5 x 105.8 x 3.33^{2} = 576 joules

A boy throws a ball of mass 0.22 kg straight upward with an initial speed of 29 m/s. When the ball returns to the boy, its speed

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The work is -67.76 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is considered one of one of the fundamental laws of physics and states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. except when it is transformed into other types of energy.

This is summed up in the principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in the universe, only transformed into other forms of energy.

In this case you must calculate the loss of kinetic energy. This loss is actually the work done against the resistive force in the air. Friction is the only force other than gravity that acts on the ball.

So, the loss of kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2} *m*(vf^{2} -vi^{2} )$
