Answer:

You take the light from a star, planet or galaxy and pass it through a spectroscope, which is a bit like a prism letting you split the light into its component colours. "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source. From this you can work out all sorts of things," says Watson

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du

ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration $\alpha$ , the disk achieves an angular velocity $\omega$ at time $t$ according to

$\omega=\alpha t$

and angular displacement $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

$21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2$

where $\omega_f$ and $\omega_i$ are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

$\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity $\omega_0$ equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle $\theta$ according to

$\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2$

which would be equal to

$\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}$

A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.9 m and moment of inertia I = 209 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of ω

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

340.67 kgm²/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of merry-go-round = 1.9 m

I = Moment of inertia = 209 kgm²

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 1.63 rad/s

m = Mass of person = 73 kg

v = Velocity = 4.8 m/s

Initial angular momentum is given by

$L=I\omega_i\\\Rightarrow L=209\times 1.63\\\Rightarrow L=340.67\ kgm^2/s$

The initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round is 340.67 kgm²/s
