A merry-go-round on a playground consists of a horizontal solid disk with a weight of 805 N and a radius of 1.58 m. A child appl

ies a force 49.5 N tangentially to the edge of the disk to start it from rest. What is the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round disk (in J) after 2.95 s?

Answer:

The value is KE = 259.6 \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The weight of the horizontal solid disk is  W = 805 \  N

      The radius of the horizontal solid disk is  r =  1.58 \  m

      The force applied by the child is  F  =  49.5 \  N

       The time considered is  t =  2.95 \  s

Generally the mass of the  horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

          m_h  =  \frac{W}{ g}

=>       m_h  =  \frac{805}{ 9.8 }

=>       m_h  =  82.14 \  N

Generally the moment of inertia  of the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as  

         I  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  r^ 2

=>      I  =  \frac{1}{2} *  82.14 *   1.58^ 2  

=>      I  =  102.5 \  kg \cdot m^2

Generally the net torque experienced by the horizontal solid disk is mathematically represented as

           T =  I  *  \alpha   =  F *  r

=>         \alpha  =  \frac{ F  *  r }{ I }

=>         \alpha  =  \frac{  49.5  *   1.58 }{  102.53 }

=>         \alpha  = 0.7628

Gnerally from kinematic equation we have that

         w =  w_o  +  \alpha t

Here  w_o is the initial angular velocity velocity of the horizontal solid disk  which is  w_o  =  0\   rad/s

So

           w =   0  +  0.7628 * 2.95

=>        w =  2.2503 \  rad/s

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

        KE =  \frac{1}{2}  *  I  *  w^2

=>      KE =  \frac{1}{2}  * 102.53  *  2.2503 ^2

=>      KE = 259.6 \  J

A force of constant magnitude pushes a box up a vertical surface, as shown in the figure.
Ray Of Light [21]

The work done on the box by the applied force is zero.

The work done by the force of gravity is 75.95 J

The work done on the box by the normal force is 75.95 J.

<h3>The given parameters:</h3>
  • Mass of the box, m = 3.1 kg
  • Distance moved by the box, d = 2.5 m
  • Coefficient of friction, = 0.35
  • Inclination of the force, θ = 30⁰

<h3>What is work - done?</h3>
  • Work is said to be done when the applied force moves an object to a certain distance

The work done on the box by the applied force is calculated as;

W = Fd cos(\theta)\\\\W = (ma)d \times cos(\theta)

where;

a is the acceleration of the box

The acceleration of the box is zero since the box moved at a constant speed.

W = (0) d \times cos(30)\\\\W = 0 \ J

The work done by the force of gravity is calculated as follows;

W = mg \times d\\\\W = 3.1 \times 9.8 \times 2.5 \\\\W = 75.95 \ J

The work done on the box by the normal force is calculated as follows;

W = (F_n) \times d\\\\W = (mg + F sin\theta) \times d\\\\W = (mg + 0) \times d\\\\W = mgd\\\\W = 3.1 \times 9.8 \times 2.5\\\\W = 75.95 \ J

What is the mass of an object if a 30 N force makes it accelerate at 6 m/s2
jasenka [17]

Answer:

5 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 6 m/s^2

Force = 30 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 30 / 6

mass = 5 kg

When the distance between two objects doubles, what happens to the gravitational attraction between these two objects?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

As indicated by Newton's law of attraction each article or body in the universe draws in every single item towards one another and that power of fascination is straightforwardly relative to the result of their masses and contrarily corresponding to the square of the distance between them.  

The power of gravity between two articles will diminish as the distance between them increments. The two most significant elements influencing the gravitational power between two items are their mass and the distance between their focuses. As mass increments, so does the power of gravity, however an increment in distance mirrors a reverse proportionality, which makes that power decline dramatically.  

At that point by Newton's All inclusive Law of Attractive energy;  

F=GMm/R^2  

Mm= result of the majority  

R=Distance Between the two masses by focus.  

On the off chance that R is multiplied, new force=GMm/(2R)^2  

=GMm/4R^2  

Unique Power/New Force=4/1  

F/4=New Power
