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,

Explain briefly why metals are good conductors of electric current
Mice21 [21]
The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, all while receiving and losing electrons, allowing metals to conduct electricity. Example: copper is a great conductor of electric current.

Please help!How is constant or uniform acceleration used to explain free fall?
garik1379 [7]
Free fall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration, because acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward.

At an amusement park, a 7.00 kg swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. The swimmer starts at rest, slides without fr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

27.44 J

Explanation:

We can find the energy at the top of the slide by using the potential energy equation:

  • PE = mgh

At the top of the slide, the swimmer has 0 kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.

The swimmer's mass is given as 7.00 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

The (vertical) height of the water slide is 0.40 m.

Substitute these values into the potential energy equation:

  • PE = (7.00)(9.8)(0.40)
  • PE = 27.44

Since there is 0 kinetic energy at the top of the slide, the total energy present is the swimmer's potential energy.

Therefore, the answer is 27.44 J of energy when the swimmer is at the top of the slide.

Mandeep climbs up a 10 meter ladder with a force of 4 Newtons in 20 seconds. What is his power output?
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

Work Done = Force * Displacement

= (4N)(10m) = 40J.

Power = Work Done / Time

= (40J)/(20s) = 2J/s = 2 Nm/sec.
