Answer: by a factor of √2

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass of the particle and v is the velocity:

If we double the kinetic energy, we have:

k' = 2k = 2(m/2)*v^2

now we want to see by what factor is increased the velocity, so we must put that 2 inside the square power, this is:

k' = 2*(m/2)*(v)^2 = (m/2)*(√2*v)^2 is the new kinetic energy,

This means that the velocity is increased by a factor of √2

tekilochka [14]

Answer: $0.43\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of child $m=34\ kg$

speed of child is $v=2.8\ m/s$

Moment of inertia of merry go round is $I=510\ kg.m^2$

radius $r=2.31\ m$

Conserving the angular momentum

$\Rightarrow mvr=I\omega \\\Rightarrow 34\times 2.8\times 2.31=510\times \omega\\\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{219.912}{510}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.43\ rad/s$

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

$\omega = \frac{v}{R}$

$\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}$

$\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

$(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega$

The final angular speed is:

$\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Paladinen [302]

Weight of the mass is the tension in the string if the turntable is held fixed, with the mass hanging from the pulley

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth. Weight (symbolized w ) is a quantity representing the force exerted on a particle or object by an acceleration field, particularly the gravitational field of the Earth at the surface.

The tension force is defined as the force that is transmitted through a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides. The tension force is directed over the length of the wire and pulls energy equally on the bodies at the ends.

The direction of tension is the pull which is given the name tension. Thus, the tension will point away from the mass in the direction of the string/rope. In case of the hanging mass, the string pulls it upwards, so the string/rope exerts an upper force on the mass and the tension will be in the upper side.

Tension will act opposite the the weight of the mass attached in order to maintain equilibrium .
