Breanna is standing beside a merry-go-round pushing 19° from the tangential direction and is able to accelerate the ride and her

friends from rest to a frequency of 10 rpm in 9 seconds. Assume the merry-go-round is a uniform disc of radius 2.3 m and has a mass of 750 kg. Rachel (48 kg) and Tayler (46 kg) sit opposite each other on the edge of the ride.
(A) What for did Breanna push with?
(B) How much work did Breanna do?

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the kinematic equations of angular motion that include force, acceleration and work.

Torque in a body is defined as,

\tau_l = F*d

And in angular movement like

\tau_a = I*\alpha

Where,

F= Force

d= Distance

I = Inertia

\alpha = Acceleration Angular

PART A) For the given case we have the torque we have it in component mode, so the component in the X axis is the net for the calculation.

\tau= F*cos(19)*d

On the other hand we have the speed data expressed in RPM, as well

\omega_f = 10rpm = 10\frac{1rev}{1min}(\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})

\omega_f = 1.0471rad/s

Acceleration can be calculated by

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}

\alpha = \frac{1.0471}{9}

\alpha = 0.11rad/s^2

In the case of Inertia we know that it is equivalent to

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^2 = \frac{1}{2}(750)*(2.3)^2

I = 1983.75kg.m^2

Matching the two types of torque we have to,

\tau_l=\tau_a

Fd=I\alpha

Fcos(19)*2.3=1983.75(0.11)

F=100.34N

PART B) The work performed would be calculated from the relationship between angular velocity and moment of inertia, that is,

W = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_f^2

W= \frac{1}{2}(1983.75)(1.0471)^2

W=1087.51J

Who water rocket starts from rest and roses straight up with an acceleration of 5 m/s until it runs out of water 2.5 seconds lat
Kitty [74]

Answer:

23. 4375 m

Explanation:

There are two parts of the rocket's motion

1 ) accelerating  (assume it goes upto  h1 height )

using motion equations upwards

s = ut+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\h_1=0+\frac{1}{2}*5*2.5^{2} \\=15.625 m

Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)

V = U +at

V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s  

2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto  h2 height )

now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity

using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)

V²= U² +2as

0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2

h2 = 7.8125 m

maximum height = h1 + h2

                            = 15.625 + 7.8125

                            = 23. 4375 m

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm  =15 \times 10^{-15}m

we use here energy conservation

K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}

there will be some initial kinetic  energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac  {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

KE_{i} = 35.33 J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2  e

and gains kinetic energy K  =e∆V  ..........(ii)

 by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the {238}_U nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference  ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V  = 35.33 Me V

\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2}  MV\\\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

Someone help me! you get 27 points if you get it right
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. D

2. D

3. A

The reason why your body goes right and the car car goes left is because your body tries to stay where it was, which is on the right. Your upper body doesn't feel a force and because of that continues in the same direction. Your lower half is pulled out from under you by seat friction to the left, leaving you leaning to the right.

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.
