A merry-go-round can be modeled as a solid disk of radius R and mass M. Initially, it is rotating on a sturdy frictionless axle

with angular velocity ω0 . A rock of mass m is dropped vertically onto the merry-go-round and it sticks to the surface at a radius r from the center. What is the final angular velocity ω of the merry-goround + rock system?

Answer:

w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)

Explanation:

This exercise can be solved using the concepts of conservation of angular momentum

          L = I w

Let's write in angular momentum in two points

Initial. Before impact

        L₀ = I w₀

Final. After the rock has stuck

        L_{f} = I w + (m r²) w

The system is formed by the disk and the rock, so that the forces and moments during the crash are internal and the angular momentum is preserved

        L₀ =  L_{f}

        I w₀ = (I + m r²) w

       w = w₀ I / (I + m r²)

The roundabout is a disk so its moment of inertia is

         I = ½ M r²

        w = w₀ ½ Mr² / (½ M r² + mr²)

        w = w₀ ½ M / (½ M + m)

        w = w₀ ½ M2 / (M + 2m)

        w = w₀ M / (M + 2m)

A singly charged ion of 7Li (an isotope of lithium which lost only one electron) has a mass of 1.16 ×10^-26 kg. It is accelerate
MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of lithium, m=1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg

It is accelerated through a potential difference, V = 224 V

Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.724 T

Applying the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qV}{m}}

q is the charge on an electron

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 224\ V}{1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg}}

v = 78608.58 m/s

v=7.86\times 10^4\ m/s

To find the radius of the ion's path in the magnetic field. The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

qvB=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

r=\dfrac{1.16\times 10^{-26}\ kg\times 7.86\times 10^4\ m/s}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.724\ T}

r = 0.0078 meters

So, the radius of the path of the ion is 0.0078 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

If the speedometer of your car reads a constant speedometer of your car reads a constant speed of 40km/hr , can you say the car
Harrizon [31]
I think u can say thats a constant velocity, but remember if ur turning, or going around a curve, that is also changing velocity. Hope this helps have a great day!

A gas, behaving ideally, fills a fixed volume container at a pressure P₁ and at a temperature T₁. The temperature of the contain
Lynna [10]

Answer:

c. P₁/T₁=P₂/T₂

Explanation:

neither Avogadro’s, Charles’, or Boyle’s law formula can be used, since some parameters like volume is not given,

to find P₂, given P₁, T₁, and T₂ we will therefore use Gay-lussac's law.

gay lussacs law state that, provided volume is kept constant, pressure is directly proportional to temperature.

the volume volume is said to be filled, i.e its is kept constants when temperature is change

A 1200 kg car accelerates from 13 m/s to 17 m/s. find the change in momentum of the car.
mixas84 [53]
P=4800kgm/s
As
p=mΔv
where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity
Given values is
m =1200kg
Δv= 17m/s-13m/s=4m/s
Now
p=mΔv
p=(1200kg)*(4m/s)
p=4800kgm/s
