Two children (m = 40 kg each) stand opposite each other on the edge of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round, which has a mass M

of 200 kg and a radius of 2.0 m, is spinning at a constant rate of 12 rad/s. Treat the two children and the merry-go-round as a system. Both children walk half the distance toward the center of the merry-go-round. Calculate the final angular speed of the system.

Answer:

Explanation:

Initially the two boys were sitting on the periphery , total moment of inertia

= 1/2 M r² + 2mr² ; M is mass of the merry go round , m is mass of each boy and r is the radius

1/2 x 200 x 2² + 2 x 40 x 2²

= 400 + 320

I₁ = 720 kg m²

Finally the two boys were sitting at the middle , total moment of inertia

= 1/2 M r² + 2m( r/2)² ; M is mass of the merry go round , m is mass of each boy and r is the radius

1/2 x 200 x 2² + 2 x 40 x 1²

= 400 + 80

I₂ = 480

Now the system will obey law of coservation of angular momentum because no torque is acting on the system.

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂ , I₁ and ω₁ are moment of inertia and angular velocity of first case and I₂ and ω₂ are of second case.

720 X 12 = 480 ω₂

ω₂ = 18 rad / s

The number of mushrooms needed by a pizza restaurant is given by the

creativ13 [48]

Answer: 24

Explanation:

Given the following equation:

$g=3n$

Where $g$ is the number of mushrooms in a pizza and $n$ the number of pizzas.

If we know the restaurant will make 8 pizzas ( $n=8$ ), then:

$g=3(8)$

$g=24$ This is the needed number of mushrooms for 8 pizzas

An observer standing near a window 5 m high observe that an object falling downwards is passing across the window in 0.5 s. Find

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object in free fall, NOT experiencing parabolic motion, has an equation of

$h(t)=\frac{1}{2} gt^2+h_0$ which says:

The height of an object with respect to time in seconds is equal to the pull of gravity times time-squared plus the height from which it was dropped. Normally we use -9.8 for gravity but you said to use 10, so be it.

For us, h(t) is 5 because we are looking for the height of the window when the object is 5 m off the ground at .5 seconds;

g = 10 m/s/s, and

t = .5sec

$5=\frac{1}{2}(-10)(.5)^2$ +h and

5 = -5(.5)² + h and

5 = -5(.25) + h and

5 = -1.25 + h so

h = 6.25

That's how high the window is above the ground.

When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

$\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}$

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, $\Delta L$ is the amount by which the length of the object changes and $L_0$ is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

$F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N$

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

$\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}$

Your friend tells you that a shiny element has to be a metal. Do you agreed? Explain your reasoning
