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.

When an electric current flows through a long conductor, each free electron moves
nirvana33 [79]
<span>When an electric current flows through a long conductor, each free electron moves from one end of the other end. When an electric field is applied to a conductor (a wire) the free electrons of the conductor are subject to an electric force which will cause the electrons to move. Given that the electrons are negatively charged they will move counter-wise the field.. Each end of the wire is attached to one pole or end of a battery (or generator of electricity) then the electrons will move form the end joined to the negative pole toward the end attached to positive pole.</span><span />

Vilka [71]

Answer:

C. Momentum is conserved but not kinetic energy.

Explanation:

This case represents an entirely inelastic collision, that is, a collision between the car and the truck that reduces total kinetic energy of the entire system, whereas linear momentum is conserved. Hence, correct answer is C.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
Bingel [31]

Answer:

given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

final speed of car = 0 m/s

distance between car and the deer = 38 m

reaction time, t = 0.5 s

deceleration of the car = 10 m/s².

a) distance between deer and car

  distance travel in the reaction time

   d₁ = v x t

   d₁ = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

   v² = u² + 2 a s

   0 = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

    s =  20 m

total distance traveled by the car

D = d₁ + d₂

D = 20 + 10 = 30 m

  distance between car and the deer = 38 m - 30 m

                                                              = 8 m

b) now, maximum speed car.

   distance travel in reaction time

    d₁ = s x t

    d₁ = 0.5 V

distance left between them

   d₂ = 38 - d₁

   d₂ = 38 - 0.5 V

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

    v² = u² + 2 a d₂

    0 = (V)² - 2 x 10 x (38 - 0.5 V)

     V² + 10 V - 760 = 0

now, solving the quadratic equation

  x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

  V = \dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(1)(-760)}}{2(1)}

         V = 23.01 , -33.01

rejecting the negative term.

hence, maximum speed of the car could be V = 23.01 m/s

An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) whi
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km y y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km) so that Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28; \alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree) to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2} so that R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)
