Three children are riding on the edge of a merry‑go‑round that has a mass of 10^5 and a radius of 1.80 m . The merry‑go‑round is

spinning at 22.0 rpm. The children have masses of 22.0, 28.0, and 33.0 kg. If the 28.0 kg child moves to the center of the merry‑go‑round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? Ignore friction, and assume that the merry‑go‑round can be treated as a solid disk and the children as point masses.

Answer: 22.01 rpm.

Explanation:  

If we assume no external torques are present, the angular momentum must be conserved.

L1 = L2

I1 . ω1 = I2 ω2 (1)

I1 = MR2 /2 + m1. R2 + m2. R2 + m3. R2  

I2 = MR2 /2 + m1. R2 + m3. R2

(as the 28.0 kg child moves to the center, he has no part anymore in the rotational inertia)

As I units are SI units, it is advisable to convert the angular velocity to rad/sec, as follows:

22.0 rev/min. (2π/rev) . (1min/60 sec) = 2.3 rad/sec

Solving for ω2 in (1):

ω2 = 2.31 rad/sec = 2.31 (1 rev/2 π). (60sec/1min) = 22.01 rpm

The planet Mars has a mass of 6.1 × 1023 kg and radius of 3.4 × 106 m. What is the acceleration of an object in free fall near t
Oksanka [162]

The acceleration due to gravity of Mars is 3.5\ m / s^{2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. But in the present case, the gravity need to be determined between Mars and the object on Mars. Since the mass of Mars is greater than the mass of any object. Thus,

      \text {Gravitational force of planet}=\frac{G M m}{R^{2}}

Here, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of Mars and M, m is the mass of Mars and the object respectively..

Also, according to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of any object will be equal to the ratio of force exerted on it to the mass of the object.

So in order to determine the acceleration due to gravity of Mars, divide the gravitational force of Mars by mass of object on the surface of Mars.

   Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{\text {Gravitational force of Mars}}{m \text { of object }}

  Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{G M m}{R^{2} \times m}=\frac{G M}{R^{2}}

  \text { Acceleration due to gravity of mars }=\frac{6.67259 \times 10^{-11} \times 6.1 \times 10^{23}}{3.4 \times 3.4 \times 10^{12}}=\frac{40.703 \times 10^{12}}{11.56 \times 10^{12}}

 \text { Acceleration }=3.5\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

the pressure of a gas is 100.0kpa and its volume is 500.0ml if the volume increase to 1000.0ml what is the new pressure of the g
Ket [755]

50Kpa

Explanation:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1= 100. P2= ?

V1 = 500. V2 = 1000

100 × 500 = P2 × 1000

50000 = 1000P2

50000/1000 = P2

50 = P2

P2 = 50Kpa

What is the formula for calcium chloride
Naddik [55]

The correct answer is - CaCl2

The calcium chloride is a salt, an inorganic compound. Its formula is CaCl2, with Ca being calcium, Cl being chloride, and the number 2 representing the number of chloride molecules.

The calcium chloride is a white colored crystalline solid when it is at room temperature, and it is highly soluble in water, acetone, and acetic acid. It has a molar mass of 110.98 g/mol, density of 2.15 g/cm³, and melting point at 772 °C.

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it
Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.
