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,

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they are more durable than a refracting telescopes.
There is a difference between these two types of telescopes, reflecting telescopes worked by reflecting light, they are also known as reflector and refracting telescopes worked by refracting light and they are also known as reflactor.
Reflecting telescopes also provides a good focus.

Describe how the kidney and bladder work together to remove waste from the body. (2 points)
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from blood. Urine travels from the kidneys through two thin tubes called ureters and fills the bladder. When the bladder is full, a person urinates through the urethra to eliminate the waste.

An object with kinetic energy k explodes into two pieces, each of which moves with twice the speed of the original object.
zlopas [31]
<span>Assuming that the momenta of the two pieces are equal: when they have equal velocities, then the masses of the two pieces are also equal. Since there is no force from outside of the system, the center of mass moves on with the same velocity as before the equation. So the two pieces must fly at the side side of the mass center, i.e., they must always be at 90° to the side of the mass center. Otherwise it would not be the mass center, respectively the pieces would not have equal velocities. This is only possible, when the angle of their velocity with the initial direction is 60°. Because, cos (60°) = 1/2 = v/(2v).</span>

An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀
