Answer:
a. 15.4 seconds
b. 0.455 m/s
Explanation:
a. The carousel rotates at 0.13 rev/s.
This means that it takes the carousel 1 sec to make 0.13 of an entire revolution.
This means that time it will take to make a complete revolution is:
1 / 0.13 = 7.7 seconds
Therefore, the time it will take to make 2 revolutions is:
2 * 7.7 = 15.4 seconds
b. Let us calculate the linear velocity. Angular velocity is given as:
where v = linear velocity and r = radius
The radius of the circle is 3.5 m and the angular velocity is 0.13 rev/s, therefore:
0.13 = v / 3.5
v = 3.5 * 0.13 = 0.455 m/s
Linear velocity is 0.455 m/s
Yes. Kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy and friction will turn that kinetic energy into heat.
The correct answer is (a.) a parsec. A parsec is a distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond. This unit of measurement is usually used in astronomy which makes it easier for astronomers to calculate or measure in space accurately.
Answer:
15.4 kg.
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.
Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)
Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s
Substitute into equation 1
7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')
23.1 = 7.7+m'
m' = 23.1-7.7
m' = 15.4 kg.
Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg
