A 4.2-m-diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angularvelocity of 0.80 rad/s. Its total moment of inertia is1760kgm2

. Four people standing on the ground, eachof mass 65 kg, suddenly step onto the edge of themerry-go-round. a. What is the angular velocity of themerry-go-round now? b. What if the people were on it initiallyand then jumped off in a radial direction (relative to themerry-go-round)?

Answer

given,

mass of people = 65 kg

number of people =

diameter of the  merry-go-round = 4.2 m

radius = 2.1 m

angular velocity = 0.8 rad/s

moment of inertia =  1760 kg m²

Using the law of conservation of angular momentum, we have

                             L₁=  L₂

                          I₁ω₁ =I₂ω₂

                            I₁ω₁= ( I₁+ 4 m r²)ω²

                         ( 1760 x 0.8) = ( 1760 + 4 x 65 x 2.12)ω²

                         1408 = 2311.2 ω²

                         ω² = 0.609

                         ω  = 0.781 rad/s

b) If the people jump of the merry-go-round radially, they exert no torque.

hence,  it will not change the angular momentum of the merry-go-round. It will continue to move with the same   ω .

A uniform, solid, 2000.0 kgkg sphere has a radius of 5.00 mm. Find the gravitational force this sphere exerts on a 2.10 kgkg poi
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.0110284391534\ N

0.0653784219002\ N

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m_1 = Mass of sphere = 2000 kg

m_2 = Mass of other sphere = 2.1 kg

r = Distance between spheres

Force of gravity is given by

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2000\times 2.1}{(5.04\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.0110284391534\ N

The gravitational force is 0.0110284391534\ N

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2000\times 2.1}{(2.07\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.0653784219002\ N

The gravitational force is 0.0653784219002\ N

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched 15cm. What is the force and energy associated with this stretching?
Olenka [21]
Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
F = k*x

Solving: 
F = k*x
F = 50*0.15
\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}
E =  \frac{50*0.0225}{2}
E =  \frac{1.125}{2}
\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
