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

How much thermal energy is required to raise the temperature of 5 kg of water 50℃? The specific heat of water is 4168 J/kg*C.
sasho [114]

Answer/solution:

Given :

Mass =5kg

T 1 =20 C,T 2  =100 ∘C

ΔT=100−20=80 ∘C

Q=m×C×ΔT

where C= specific heat capacity of water

=4200J/(kgK)

Q=5×4200×80

=1680000 Joule.

=1680KJ

Why do astronauts' weights differ in space?
OLga [1]

Answer:

There is less gravitational force in space.

Explanation:

Gravity doesn't exist as it does on Earth. Earth's gravity is as 6 times stronger as it is on the moon.

The noble gas neon is used for filling neon signs. Like other noble elements, it has a full octet (complete outer energy level)
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

C. unlikely to combine with other elements.

Explanation:

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Noble gases are chemical elements with eight valence electrons and as such have a full octet. Some examples are argon, neon, etc.

Hence, the full octet makes the gas (neon) unlikely to combine with other elements.

A light spring having a force constant of 115 N/m is used to pull a 9.00 kg sled on a horizontal frictionless ice rink. The sled
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Stretch in the spring = 0.1643 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the sled (m) = 9 kg

Acceleration of the sled (a) = 2.10 m/s ²

Spring constant (k) = 115 N/m

Computation:

Tension force in the spring  (T) = ma

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 9 × 2.10

Tension force in the spring  (T) = 18.9 N

Tension force in the spring = Spring constant (k) × Stretch in the spring

18.9 N = 115 N  × Stretch in the spring

Stretch in the spring = 18.9 / 115

Stretch in the spring = 0.1643 (Approx)
