Given that the mass of the toy cart is 2.0 kg and and the acceleration is unknown, the normal formula would be a=f/m where a is acceleration, f is force and m is mass but the string's breaking strength is 40n so I think the formula in this case will be f is greater than m*a
40 is greater than 2a
40 is greater than 2a
40/2 is greater than 2a/2
20m/s² is greater than a
Therefore the maximum speed the toy cart should have should be less than 20m/s²
Answer:
The girl has greater tangential acceleration
Explanation:
The angular acceleration () of the merry go round is equal to the rate of the change of the angular velocity, :
Since all the points of the merry go round complete 1 circle in the same time, the angular velocity of each point of the merry go round is the same, and so all the points also have the same angular acceleration.
The tangential acceleration instead is given by
where
is the angular acceleration
r is the distance from the centre of the merry go round
Since the girl is near the outer edge and the boy is closer to the centre, the value of r for the girl is larger than for the boy, so the girl has greater tangential acceleration.
