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 bullet is fired in a horizontal direction with a muzzle velocity of 300m/s.In the absence of air resistance,how far will it ha
Kruka [31]

Answer:

304.9m

Explanation:

Given

Velocity = 300m/s

Tim = 1sec

Required

Horizontal distance S

Using the formula

S= ut+1/2gt²

S = 300(1)+1/2(9.8)(1)²

S = 300+4.9

S = 304.9m

Hence the distance travelled is 304.9m

A voltage of 75 V is placed across a 150 Ω resistor. What is the current through the resistor?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

0.5 A

Explanation:

Applying,

V = IR.................. Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = Resistance.

make I the subject of the equation

I = V/R............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V = 75 V, R = 150 Ω

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 75/150

I = 0.5 A.

Hence the cuurent through the resistor is 0.5 A
