A dad pushes tangentially on a small hand-driven merry-go-round and is able to accelerate it from rest to a frequency of 18 rpm,

in 13.0 s. Assume the merry-go-round is a uniform disk of radius 2.7 m; and has a mass of 800 kg, and two children (each with a mass of 25 kg) sit opposite each other on the edge. Calculate the torque required to produce the acceleration, neglecting frictional torque. What force is required at the edge?

Answer:

F = 176.175 N

Explanation:

given,  

radius of merry - go - round = 2.7 m

mass of the disk = 800 kg  

speed of the merry- go-round = 18 rpm  

                                                 = 18 \dfrac{2\pi }{60}

                                                 = 1.88 rad/s

time = 13 s

mass of two children = 25 kg  

ω = ω₀ + α t

1.88 = 0 + α(13)

α = 0.145 rad/s²

we know

τ = I α

so,

I = \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2+ 2 MR^2  

I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 800 \times 2.7^2+ 2\times 25\times 2.7^2

I = 3280.5 kg.m^2  

τ = I α

τ = 3280.5 x 0.145

τ = 475.67 N m

τ = F x r

475.67 = F x 2.7

F = 176.175 N

An object executing simple harmonic motion has a maximum speed of 4.3 m/s and a maximum acceleration of 0.65 m/s2 . find (a) the
Alexxx [7]
(1) The position around equilibrium of an object in simple harmonic motion is described by
x(t) = A \cos (\omega t)
where
A is the amplitude of the motion
\omega is the angular frequency.

The velocity is the derivative of the position:
v(t)=-\omega A \sin(\omega t) = -v_0 \sin (\omega t)
where 
v_0 = \omega A is the maximum velocity of the object.

The acceleration is the derivative of the velocity:
a(t)=- \omega^2 A \cos (\omega t) = -a_0 \cos (\omega t)
where
a_0=\omega^2 A is the maximum acceleration of the object.

We know from the problem both maximum velocity and maximum acceleration:
v_0 = \omega A = 4.3 m/s
a_0 = \omega^2 A = 0.65 m/s^2
From the first equation, we get
A= \frac{4.3 }{\omega} (1)
and if we substitute this into the second equation, we find the angular fequency
\omega=0.15 rad/s
while the amplitude is  (using (1)):
A=28.7 m


(b) We found in the previous step that the angular frequency of the motion is
\omega=0.15 rad/s
But the angular frequency is related to the period by
T= \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}
and so, the period is
T= \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}= \frac{2 \pi}{0.15 rad/s}=41.9 s

Answer: Bohr's model (1913)

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles.

Bohr's model (1913)

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles

  Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

  John Dalton

The idea that everything is made of atoms was pioneered by John Dalton (1766-1844) in a book he published in 1808. He is sometimes called the "father" of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right "grandfather" might be a better term.
