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

Answer: because she is pedalling at her maximum speed produced by the maximum force applied. At constant speed, acceleration is equal to zero.

Explanation:

Pedalling of bicycle involves application of force. The force applied produces circular motion to the tires which eventually transform into linear speed.

V = wr

Where V = linear speed

W = angular speed

r = radius.

Change in speed V will lead to acceleration or deceleration depending on increase or decrease in speed.

If she stops accelerating, then, she must have applied force that makes her pedalling at maximum speed. She is also maintaining this uniform (constant ) speed. After reaching her maximum speed.

At constant speed, acceleration = 0

Base on this explanation, even though she is still pedalling as fast as she can, which at constant speed, she will stop accelerating and her speed reaches a maximum value because she is pedalling at her applied maximum force.
