a) $\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

b) $v=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$

Explanation:

a)

Since there are no external torques acting on the system, the total angular momentum must remain constant.

At the beginning, the merry-go-round and the girl are at rest, so the initial angular momentum is zero:

$L_1=0$

Later, after the girl throws the rock, the angular momentum will be:

$L_2=(I_M+I_g)\omega +L_r$

where:

$I$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

$I_g=MR^2$ is the moment of inertia of the girl, where

M is the mass of the girl

R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the merry-go-round and the girl

$L_r=mvR$ is the angular momentum of the rock, where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its velocity

Since the total angular momentum is conserved,

$L_1=L_2$

So we find:

$0=(I+I_g)\omega +mvR\\\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$

And the negative sign indicates that the disk rotates in the direction opposite to the motion of the rock.

b)

The linear speed of a body in rotational motion is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

r is the distance of the body from the axis of rotation

In this problem, for the girl, we have:

$\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}$ is the angular speed

$r=R$ is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

Therefore, her linear speed is:

$v=\omega R=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}$

How do I convert 14.8 cm into MEters?

stellarik [79]

Multiply it by a fraction equal to ' 1 ', like this:

(14.8 cm) x (1 meter/100 cm) = 14.8/100 = 0.148 meter

What happens if you reverse the orientation of the permanent magnet? why?

belka [17]

If one reverse the orientation of a permanent magnet ITS MAGNETIZATION WILL BE PERMANENTLY REVERSED. This is because, the magnetic domains inside the permanent magnet aligned with the new applied field and increase with it while those domains that are anti aligned with that field will shrink.

Does mars have a planet-wide magnetic field?

romanna [79]

Any object in space has a field, it's just the smaller it is the lower the force of that field. Two baseballs can be placed 1 meter apart and one of them if not both will pull the other twords it. This experiment was done on a simulation and it took 4 weeks for them to hit each other
