<u>Answer</u>

672,000 Joules

<u>Explanation</u>

Gravitational potential energy (P.E) is the energy possessed by a body that is at a potential height from the ground.

IT is calculated by the formula;

P.E = mgh

Where m ⇒ mass

            g ⇒ acceleration due to gravity

            h ⇒ height from trhe ground.

P.E = 1200 × 1.6 × 350

      = 672,000 Joules.

Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²

An automobile with a standard differential turns sharply to the left. The left driving wheel turns on a 20-m radius. Distance be
Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Inner wheel Radius = 20 m,

   Distance between left and right wheel = 1.5m,

Let us assume speed of drive shaft is N rpm.

Formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

    Angular velocity of automobile = w = \frac{V}{R}

where,   V = linear velocity of automobile m/min,

              R = turning radius from automobile center in meter

In the given case, angular velocity remains same for inner and outer wheel but there is change in linear velocity of inner wheel and outer wheel.

Now, we assume that

         u = linear velocity of inner wheel

and,   u' = linear velocity of outer wheel.

Formula for angular velocity of inner wheel w = ,

Formula for angular velocity of outer wheel w =

Now, for inner wheels

                   w =

                      = \frac{u}{(R - d)}

                  u = V \times \frac{(R - d)}{R}

                    = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

If radius of wheel is r it will cover  distance in one min.

Since, velocity of wheel is u it will cover distance u in unit time(min)

Thus,             u = 2\pi rn = V \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})

Now, rotation per minute of inner wheel is calculated as follows.

         n = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{d}{R})}

            = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 - \frac{0.75}{20})} (since 2d = 1.5m given, d = 0.75m),

             = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1532

So, rotation per minute of outer wheel; n' =  

                   = \frac{V}{2 \pi r \times (1 + \frac{0.75}{20})}

                   = \frac{V}{r} \times 0.1651
