A 25 kg child stands 2.5 m from the center of a frictionless merry‐go‐round, which has a 200 kg*m^2 moment of inertia and is spi

nning with one revolution every two seconds. The child then moves inward to a radius of 1.5 m. a) What is the initial angular velocity of the merry‐go‐round?
b) What is the new angular velocity of the merry‐go‐round, after the child moves?
c) By how much did the kinetic energy of the merry‐go‐round increase? Where did this energy come from?

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Time period  T = 2 s

Angular velocity ω = 2π / T

=  2π / 2 = 3.14 rad /s

Initial moment of inertia I₁ = 200 + mr²

= 200 + 25 x 2.5²

=356.25

Final moment of inertia

I₂ = 200 + 25 X 1.5 X 1.5

= 256.25

b ) We apply law of conservation of momentum

I₁ X ω₁ =  I₂ X ω₂

ω₂ = I₁ X ω₁ / I₂

Putting the values

w_2=\frac{356.25\times3.14}{256.25}

ω₂ = 4.365 rad s⁻¹

c ) Increase in rotational kinetic energy

=1/2 I₂ X ω₂² -  1/2 I₁ X ω₁²

.5 X 256.25 X 4.365² - .5 X 356.25 X 3.14²

= 684.95 J

This energy comes from work done against the centripetal pseudo -force.

I need help in this small question:
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1) The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity is called nuclear energy.

2) It is not renewable because it is an element that has no way whatsoever to regenerate or replicate itself, nor gets created by any natural terrestrial means, neither makes itself available by arriving from outer space (like sunlight). There is a limited amount of it available on the Earth, and every bit you use is a bit you’ll never have available again (as Uranium atoms get destroyed by the fission process).

Hope this helps You
