Answer
given,
initial speed of merry-go-round = 0 rad/s
final speed of merry-go-round = 1.5 rad/s
time = 7 s
Radius of the disk = 6 m
Mass of the merry-go-round = 25000 Kg
Moment of inertia of the disk


I = 450000 kg.m²
angular acceleration



we know,



Answer:
the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J
Explanation:
Given;
distance the boy slides, d = 3 m
angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰
mass of the boy, m = 32 kg
The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.
The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;
W = P.E = mgh
= 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m
= 604.62 J
Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J
It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.
Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.
