A merry-go-round on a playground consists of a horizontal solid disk with a weight of 805 N and a radius of 1.47 m. A child appl

ies a force 49.0 N tangentially to the edge of the disk to start it from rest. What is the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round disk (in J) after 2.95 s?

Answer:

255.34 J

Explanation:

Given,

Weight of disk = 805 N

radius = 1.47 m

Force applied by the child = 49 N

time = 2.95 s

KE = ?

mass of the disk

M = \dfrac{W}{g}= \dfrac{805}{9.81} = 82.059\ Kg

Moment of inertia of the disk

I = \dfrac{1}{2}Mr^2

I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 82.059\times 1.47^2 =88.66\ kgm^2

Torque on the child

\tau = F \times r = 49 \times 1.47 = 72.03 Nm

Angular acceleration

\alpha = \dfrac{\tau}{I}=\dfrac{72.03}{88.66} = 0.812\ rad/s^2

So, angular speed at t = 2.95 s

\omega = \alpha t = 0.812 \times 2.95 = 2.4\ rad/s

Now, KE of the merry go round

KE = \dfrac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 88.66\times 2.4^2 = 255.34 J

Hence, the Kinetic energy of the merry go round = 255.34 J

An air craft heads north at 320 km/hr relative to the wind. the wind velocity is 80km/hr from the north. find the relative veloc
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is 240 km/hr

Explanation:

Relative velocity is different from normal velocity;

When 2 objects are moving in opposite directions towards each other, they will appear to be faster than they actually are;

This is known as the relative velocity;

The information tells us we have the aircraft moving 320 km/hr northwards relative to the wind;

The wind is in the opposite direction at 80 km/hr;

R = relative velocity of the aircraft

v = actual velocity of the aircraft

w = velocity of the wind

R = v + w

Note: if the wind was moving in the same direction, the formula would be R = v - w

320 = v + 80

v = 320 - 80

v = 240

The velocity relative to the ground is simply the actual velocity as the ground doesn't move;

So, relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is simply 240 km/hr

A two-slit Fraunhofer interference-diffraction pattern is observed with light of wavelength 672 nm. The slits have widths of 0.0
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of diffraction , angular width of central maxima =2 λ/d

λ is wave length of light and d is slit width

In case of interference , angular width of each fringe

= λ /D

D is distance between two slits

No of interference fringe in central diffraction fringe

=2 λ/d x D/λ = 2 x D /d = 2 x .24/.03 = 16.

When something is hit harder how does the transverse wave change?
Flura [38]
When something is hit harder just like when sound is turned up the waves become higher and more frequent like a zig zag more so then wavy.
