A dog sits 2.6 m from the center of a merry- go-round. a) If the dog undergoes a 1.7 m/s^2 centripetal acceleration, what is the

dog's linear speed? Answer in units of m/s. b) What is the angular speed of the merry-go- round? Answer in units of rad/s.

Answer:

a) v= 2.1 m/s

b) ω = 0.807 rad/s

Explanation

Conceptual analysis :

The dog and the merry-go- round describes a circular motion, then, the following formulas apply :

a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r} Formula (1)

v = ω *r   Formula (2)

Where:

a_{c} : Centripetal acceleration(m/s²)

v: linear speed or tangential (m/s)

r :  radius of the circle (m)

ω : angular speed ( rad/s)

Data

r= 2.6 m

a_{c} =  1.7 m/s²

Problem develpment

a) We replace data in the formula 1 to calculate the dog's linear speed(v):

a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}

1.7 =\frac{v^{2} }{2.6}

v^{2} =1.7*2.6 = 4.42

v=(\sqrt{4.42})\frac{m}{s}

v= 2.1 m/s

b)We replace data in the formula 2 to calculate the angular speed of the merry-go- round (ω).

v = ω *r

2.1 = ω *2.6

ω = 2.1/2.6

ω = 0.807 rad/s

A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall.
horrorfan [7]

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

Time, t = 2.1 s

(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

F=\dfrac{0.058\times (11-(-11))}{2.1}

F = 0.607 N

(b) Area of wall, A=3\ m^2

Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{0.607\ N}{3\ m^2}

P = 0.202 Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.

2. It is now 10:29 a.m., but when the bell rings at 10:30 a.m. Suzette will be late for French class for the third time this wee
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

  • 62 seconds
  • no

Explanation:

The total travel time Suzette experiences is the sum of the times in each hallway. Using

  time = distance/speed

we can add the times.

  (35.0 m)/(3.50 m/s) +(48.0 m)/(1.20 m/s) +(60 m)/(5.0 m/s)

  = 10 s + 40 s + 12 s

  = 62 s

It takes Suzette 62 seconds to get to class. She does not beat the bell.

You apply a force of 18 N to a dresser and move it 3.0 m. How much work did you do on the dresser?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

54 J

Explanation:

Work done = force * displacement

                  = 18 *3

                  = 54 J
