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

What is the direction of the current flowing through the wire—left or right? The current flows to the .
muminat

Answer:

right

Explanation:

Current flows from the positive (+ve) terminal of the battery to the negative (-ve). This is called conventional current flow.

Therefore, the electrons are negatively charged and want to get away from the Negative Terminal and go to the Positive Terminal, Hence the electrons move from left to right and current flows from right to left.

. Why are scientific models important? They help scientists prove scientific theories. They help scientists explain complex ques
sdas [7]
The best answer would be the 4th choice. "They help scientists explain concepts that are difficult to observe, this also covers the first answer which helps the scientist to answer complex questions. A scientific model is not used prove scientific laws as they may not always have all the data to prove so, instead it is used to allow them to explain better concepts revolving around science through research and may also allow them to predict results based on the accumulation of data and analyzing the trend of this resulting information.
