1) [25 pts] A 90-kg merry-go-round of radius 2.0 m is spinning at a constant speed of 20 revolutions per minute. A kid standing

on the ground decides to bring the merry-go-round to rest and applies a force of 10.0 N tangentially to the merry-go-round. If the merry-go-round is modelled as a solid cylinder, (A) calculate its moment of inertia. (B) What is the angular acceleration of the merry-go-round? (C) How many revolutions will the merry-go-round complete until it finally stops?

Answer:

(A) 180 kg·m²

(B) 0.111 rad/s²

(C) The number of revolutions the merry-go-round will complete until it finally stops is 3.142 or π rev

Explanation:

The equation of the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder is presented as follows;

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

Where:

I = Moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

M = Mass of the merry-go-round

R = Radius of the merry-go-round

Therefore, I = 1/2×90×2² = 180 kg·m²

(B) For the angular acceleration we have;

Therefore, since the force × radius = The torque, we have, angular acceleration is found as follows

F × R = τ

10.0 × 2.0 = 20 = I×α = 180×α

α = 20/180 = 0.111 rad/s².

angular acceleration = 0.111 rad/s².

(C) Here we have ω₀ = 20 rev/ min = 20×2×π rad/min = π·40/60 rad/s

2/3·π rad/s

ω = ω₀ - α×t

∴ t = ω₀/α = (2/3·π rad/s)/(0.111 rad/s²) = 18.85 s

Hence we have

θ = ω₀·t + 1/2·α·t², plugging in the values, we have;

θ = 2/3·π×18.85 - 1/2·0.111·18.85²

θ = 19.74 rad

Therefore, since 2·π radian = 1 revolution

The number of revolutions the merry-go-round will complete until it stops is 19.74/(2·π) = 3.142 or π revolutions.

How can you find the mass of a tissue box?
a_sh-v [17]

Explanation:

To find the volume of a box of Tissue (also known as a rectangular prism) just multiply the area of the base (length times width) by the height. The formula is V = l• w• h.

A wagon is accelerating down a hill. Which statement is true?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.
