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.

A spearfisher stands in shallow water and sees a fish a few feet in front of her. She throws her spear directly toward the posit
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish.

Explanation:

due to refraction of light coming from the fish the fish will appear slightly above from its real position

So due to this refraction the spearfisher will throw the spear directly at the image of the fish due to which it will not reach the position of fish but it will reach the position above the fish.

So here we can say that the spear will end up above the fish relative to the actual position of the fish

An airplane weighing 11,000 N climbs to a
Gennadij [26K]

The power in horsepower is 40.1 hp

Explanation:

We start by calculating the work done by the airplane during the climb, which is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

W=(mg)\Delta h

where

mg = 11,000 N is the weight of the airplane

\Delta h = 1.6 km = 1600 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(11,000)(1600)=17.6\cdot 10^6 J

Now we can calculate the power delivered, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W=17.6\cdot 10^6 J is the work done

t=9.8 min \cdot 60 = 588 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{17.6\cdot 10^6 J}{588}=2.99\cdot 10^4 W

Finally, we can convert the power into horsepower (hp), keeping in mind that

1 hp = 746 W

Therefore,

P=\frac{2.99\cdot 10^4}{746}=40.1 hp
