A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The ang

ular speed of the child has a constant value of 0.233 rad/s. At the instant the child spots the horse, one-quarter of a turn away, the merry-go-round begins to move (in the direction the child is running) with a constant angular acceleration of 0.0136 rad/s2. What is the shortest time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse?

Answer:

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child: s_c = \omega_ct = 0.233t

For the horse: s_h = s_0 + a_ht^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0136t^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

For the child to catch up with the horse, they must cover the same angular distance within the same time t:

s_c = s_h

0.233t = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

0.0068t^2 - 0.233t + 1.57 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{0.233\pm \sqrt{(-0.233)^2 - 4*(0.0068)*(1.57)}}{2*(0.0068)}

t= \frac{0.233\pm0.11}{0.0136}

t = 25.05 or t = 9.22

Since we are looking for the shortest time we will pick t = 9.22 s

Help!!! Line B touches the circle at a single point. Line A extends through the center of the circle.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

If I understand correctly. Line B is parallel to the circle. Also, the angle is less than 90.

  1. The size of the circle determines.
  2. The diameter should not be fixed either.

What change happens when matter<br> changes states?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.
