Answer and Explanation:

In classical physics we study about macroscopic objects and in modern physics we study about microscopic objects but under some circumstances classical physics is a approximation to modern physics such as

The object must be microscopic but they should be large enough so that we can see that through a microscope
The speed of the object should be very less it should be about 1 % of the speed of the light
They should be involved with very week gravitational field

Sauron [17]

We have the equation of motion $s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$ , where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here s = 300 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$300 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2 = 300\\ \\ t =7.82 seconds$

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Here u = 0 m/s, a= 9.81 $m/s^2$ and t = 7.82 seconds

Substituting

v = 0+9.8*7.82 = 76.68 m/s

The speed with which the penny strikes the ground = 76.68 m/s.

What is the metric unit of force? kg kg/cm^3 kg/cm^2 N

Feliz [49]

Force is found by multiplying mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s^2), so the metric unit of force is kg*m/s^2 or N (newtons)

A merry-go-round of radius 2 m is rotating at one revolution every 5 s. A

galben [10]

Answer:

a) The angular speed of the child is approximately 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager is approximately 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed of the child is approximately 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager is approximately 2.513 m/s

Explanation:

The revolutions per minute, r.p.m. of the merry-go-round = 1 revolution/(5 s)

The radius of the merry-go-round = 2 m

The location of the child = 1 m from the axis

The location of the teenager = 2 m from the axis

1 revolution = 2·π radians

Therefore, we have;

The angular speed, ω = (Angle turned)/(Time elapsed) = (2·π radians)/(5 s)

∴ The angular speed of the merry-go-round, ω = 2·π/5 radians/second

a) The angular speed of the child = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

b) The angular speed of the teenager = The angular speed of the merry-go-round = 2·π/5 radians/second ≈ 1.257 rad/s

c) The tangential speed, v = r × The angular speed, ω

Where;

r = The radius of rotation of the object

For the child, r = 1 m

The tangential speed of the child = 1 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 2·π/5 m/s ≈ 1.257 m/s

d) For the child, r = 2 m

The tangential speed of the teenager = 2 m × 2·π/5 radians/second = 4·π/5 m/s ≈ 2.513 m/s
