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

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner:
zysi [14]

Answer:

\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t

Explanation:

Represent the car's position as a function

x_o= "head start"

x_{A}(t) = x_{o} + v_{A}t\\x_B(t)=v_Bt \\

Remember: v_B>v_A

"cathching up means" that x_A(t)=x_B(t)

x_{o} + v_{A}t =v_Bt\\x_{o} = v_Bt -v_{A}t\\x_{o} = t(v_B-V_A)\\\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t, where \ v_B>v_A
