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

You are loading a refrigerator weighing 2267 N onto a truck, using a wheeled cart. The refrigerator is raised 1.09 m to the truc
meriva

Answer:

a).

Wmin= 2471.03 J

W=1603.01 J

Explanation:

Weight, w= 2267 N

w= m*g\\W=m*g*h \\W=w*h

Minimum work 'h' is the distance the refrigerator is raised h=1.09m

W_{min}=2267 N* 1.09m\\W_{min}=2471.03 J

The motion is no frictional force so, the magnitude of the force with a angle of 45.0° is find using:

W=m*g*h'\\h'= sin(45)\\W=2267N*sin(45)\\W=1603.01 J
