You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp

letely around once and you have a mass of 55.0 kg.
a. What will be your speed as you move around the center of the merry-go-round?
b. What will be your centripetal acceleration as you move around the center of the merry-go-round?
c. What will be the magnitude of the centripetal force necessary to keep your body moving around the center of this merry-go-round at the calculated speed?
d. How much frictional force will be applied to you by the surface of the merry-go-round?
e. what is the minimum coefficient of friction between your shoes and the surface of the merry-go-round?

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d)539.55\mu

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle 2\pi of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s

(a)The speed is

v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N

(d) let the coefficient of friction by \mu. The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu

A car with mass m traveling at speed v has kinetic energy k. what is the kinetic energy of a second car that has the same mass m
vampirchik [111]
Kinetic energy, KE, is modeled by the formula KE =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass in kg and v is the velocity in m/s.

In this scenario, mass and one-half are constant but the velocity changes. 

You can see that by squaring twice the velocity, that is equal to four times the original KE. Therefore, the answer is 4k.

An ant crawls 50 cm to the right, stops, and then crawls 30 cm to the left. Calculate the distance that the ant travels, and cal
borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)
