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

What two measurements are needed to determine density?
g100num [7]
Density is defined as (mass) per unit (volume).  So in order to calculate
the density of a glob of some substance, you pretty much have to measure
its mass and its volume.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Films are widely popular and their audio visual nature provides them a pervasive power for social influence. Therefore, they have the potential to play an important role as a medium of entertainment, information and education and as a catalyst for social change. Films are popular because they entertain.

Movies are about sitting in a theatre, watching something- watching a story unfold with people you don't know- watching that happen and emoting an emotion knowing that for those two hours or so, when one walks into that theatre, he/she don't have to worry about what is going on outside.

A force of 6 N is applied starting at 10 seconds, at 15 seconds?
lapo4ka [179]

Well depending on what every is pushing it with the force of (n) newtons its will stay at the same force rate but velocity and speed will change.
