A boy and a girl are on a spinning merry-go-round. The boy is at a radial distance of 1.2 m from the central axis; the girl is a

t a radial distance of 1.8 m from the central axis. Which is true?A- Boy and girl have zero tangential and angular accelerations.B- The girl has a larger angular acceleration than the boy.C- The boy has a larger tangential acceleration than the girl.D- The boy has a larger angular acceleration than the girl.E- The girl has a larger tangential acceleration than the boy.

Answer:

E) True. The girl has a larger tangential acceleration than the boy.

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask us to say which statement is correct, for this we propose the solution to the problem.

Angular and linear quantities are related

          v = w r

          a = α r

the boy's radius is r₁ = 1.2m the girl's radius is r₂ = 1.8m

as the merry-go-round rotates at a constant angular velocity this is the same for both, but the tangential velocity is different

          v₁ = w 1,2 (boy)

          v₂ = w 1.8 (girl)

whereby

          v₂> v₁

reviewing the claims we have

          a₁ = α 1,2

          a₂ = α 1.8

          a₂> a₁

A) False. Tangential velocity is different from zero

B) False angular acceleration is the same for both

C) False. It is the opposite, according to the previous analysis

D) False. Angular acceleration is equal

E) True. You agree with the analysis above,

Why might a major volcanic eruption lead to cooler global temperatures? Explain your answer.
irina [24]

Answer:

Volcanic eruptions cool down  the planet

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions actually cool the planet because the particles ejected from volcanoes shade incoming solar radiation. ... The small ash and aerosol particles decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth and lower average global temperatures.

Hope this helps!!! :D

An electron starts from rest in a vacuum, in a region of strong electric field. The electron moves through a potential differenc
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is  KE  = 5.67*10^{-18} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The potential difference is  \Delta V  =  36 \ volts

       

The potential energy of the end  is mathematically represented as

        PEs  =  - q *  \Delta V

q  is the charge on an electron with a constant value of q =  1.60 *10^{-19} \  C

       substituting values

      PE  =  - 1.60*10^{-19} *  36

      PE  =  -  5.67*10^{- 18} \ J

Now from the law of energy conservation

     The PE_e    =  KEe

Where  KE _e is the potential  energy at the end

 So  

        KE  = 5.67*10^{-18} \ J

The  negative sign is not includes because kinetic energy can not be negative
