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

An ice boat is coasting along a frozen lake. Friction between the ice and the boat is negligible, and so is air resistance. Noth
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

(A) No

(B) Speed decreases

Explanation:

(A) since there is nothing propelling the boat and the friction between the ice and the boat and also air resistance is negligible the net force of the system in the horizontal direction is zero and hence there is no change in the horizontal momentum of the boat.

(B) Since the person had not velocity in the horizontal direction before landing on the boat but now has one after landing on the boat, the speed of the boat will decrease because the momentum has to be conserved (remember there is no change in it).

What is force and measurement​
NeTakaya

Explanation:

In physics, force is a quantitative description of an interaction that causes a change in an object's motion. ... It is defined as Mass x Acceleration = Force. The SI unit of force is the newton (N); defined as the unit of force which would give to a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter per second squared. hope this helps you discover the best answer

What mass of NH3 can be made from 35.0 grams of N2
Allushta [10]

42.5g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of N₂= 35g

Unknown:

Mass of NH₃  = ?

Solution:

  Equation of the reaction:

         N₂  +  3H₂  →   2NH₃

To solve this problem, we work from the known species to the unknown. The known here is the reacting mass of the N₂. From this we can find the number of moles of the N₂.

            Number of moles of N₂ = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

molar mass of N₂ = 28g/mol

        Number of moles = \frac{35}{28} = 1.25moles

From the equation of the reaction:

           1 mole of N₂ produced 2 moles of NH₃

     1.25 moles of N₂ will produce 2 x 1.25 = 2.5moles of NH₃

Mass of NH₃ = Number of moles of NH₃ x molar mass of NH₃

                       = 2.5 x (14 + 3)

                       = 42.5g

Sound cannot travel through___________.
lana [24]

d.) a and b only

This is because sound needs a medium to travel.  It can travel in a solid (the fastest) and air for example.  Sound waves cannot propagate through a vacuum and since space is a vacuum the answer is a and b only.

"the velocity of the block is constant, so the net force acting on the block must be zero. Thus the normal force equals the weig
RSB [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

"the velocity of the block is constant, so the net force acting on the block must be zero. Thus the normal force equals the weight and the force of friction equals the applied force" The only thing which is wrongly stated here is that the normal force equals the weight. Normal force is not always equal to weight. If external force is applied at some angle with the horizon , normal force may be more or less than weight. Even in case of an object placed on an  inclined plane , weight is not equal to normal force .

All other parts of the statement are correct.
