A merry-go-round at a playground is a circular platform that is mounted parallel to the ground and can rotate about an axis that

is perpendicular to the platform at its center. the angular speed of the merry-go-round is constant, and a child at a distance of 1.4 m from the axis has a tangential speed of 2.2 m/s. what is the tangential speed of another child, who is located at a distance of 2.1 m from the axis?

Since angular speed is persistent, v/r is constant.
Where:

 v is tangential speed; and

 r is distance from axis.

 

Then equate v/r in both cases to get v in the second case.

Hence, speed = 2.2 x 2.1 / 1.4 meters

= 3.3 meters / seconds

 

Alternative solution would be:

w = 2.2 / 1.4 = 1.57

v = rw = 2.1 x 1.57 = 3.3 meters / seconds

What absorb emitted neutrons?
Karolina [17]
Nuclear energy is released during: fission. radioactive decay. man-induced splitting of atoms. Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons -> moderator. 2. absorb emitted neutrons -> control rods.

Bob is threatening Tom’s life with a giant laser with wavelength (650 nm), a distance (D = 10 m) from the wall James is shackled
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 650 nm

Distance =10 m

Double slit separation d = 5 μm

We need to find the position of fringe

Using formula of distance

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

d\dfrac{y}{D}=n\lambda

y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

y=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}\times10}{5\times10^{-6}}

y=1.3\ m

Hence, He should stand from the center of laser pointed on the wall at 1.3 m.

How many lenses with different focal lengths can be obtained by combining two surfaces whose radii of curvature are 4.00 cm and
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The lenses with different focal length are four.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of curvature R₁= 4

Radius of curvature R₂ = 8

We know ,

Refractive index of glass = 1.6

When, R₁= 4, R₂ = 8

We need to calculate the focal length of the lens

Using formula of focal length

\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}})

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{9}{40}

f=4.44\ cm

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = 8

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}+\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{40}

f=-13.33\ cm

When , R₁= 4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{3}{40}

f=13.33\ cm

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}-\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{9}{40}

f=-4.44\ cm

Hence, The lenses with different focal length are four.
