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.

An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.55 N/C directed to the west. At point A, the velocity of the electro
valkas [14]

Answer:

Final velocity of electron, v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E = 1.55 N/C

Initial velocity at point A, u=4.52\times 10^5\ m/s

We need to find the speed of the electron when it reaches point B which is a distance of 0.395 m east of point A. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2=u^2+2as........(1)

a is the acceleration, a=\dfrac{F}{m}

We know that electric force, F = qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

Use above equation in equation (1) as:

v^2=u^2+\dfrac{2qEs}{m}

v^2=(4.52\times 10^5\ m/s)^2+2\times \dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 1.55\ N/C}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}\times 0.395\ m

v = 647302.09 m/s

or

v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the electron when it reaches point B is 6.45\times 10^5\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The coefficient of static friction between a book and the level surface it slides on is 0.65. If the mass of the book is 0.2 kg,
just olya [345]

Answer: 1.274 N minimum force required to slide the book across the surface

Explanation:

Mass of the book = m = 0.2 kg

Normal force acting on the book,N = mg

Coefficient of friction =mu_s = 0.65

Minimum force required to slide the book across the surface= F

F=\mu_s\times N

F=0.65\times 0.2 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2=1.274 N

1.274 N minimum force required to slide the book across the surface

When a train first starts going down the railroad, it is very difficult for it to get going. When it comes to a stop, it has a h
Sindrei [870]
<h2>The option ( c ) is correct</h2>

Explanation:

When we apply the force on any body , the inertia comes into play . It is the tenancy of the the body to oppose the force which tends to change its state .

In first case the train tries to change its state from rest to motion . Thus the inertia of rest opposes this tendency.

In the second case , the train tries to come from motion to the state of rest . Thus again , inertia opposes it .

Therefore inertia is the factor which creates difficulty in both case . Hence option ( c ) is correct

If you change the number of loops in a solenoid, what happens to the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet?
zhenek [66]

The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the number of turns in the solenoid; this means that the strength of the field will increase or decrease as you increase or decrease the number of turns in the coil, respectively - they are directly related.

Hope this helps!
