Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i

n the outer section at a distance of 11.5 feet from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 6 feet from the center. What is Mary's centripetal acceleration aM compared to that of Alex's centripetal acceleration aA?

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

A block with a mass of 2kg is pushed 20cm and a constant speed up an incline that makes a 40 degree angle with the floor. how mu
Alexxx [7]

work done will be 2.5872 J

Given :

mass of block = 2kg

distance travelled by block = 20cm

angle of inclination = 40°

To Find :

Work done by gravity

Solution :

Gravity is defined as the force that attracts a body towards the earth or towards any other physical body having mass.

work done by gravity is mgh

If θ is the angle made when the body falls, the work done by gravity is given by,

W = m g h cosθ

W = 2 x 9.8 x 0.2 x cos40°

= 2.5872 J

So work done will be 2.5872 J
