Answer:

c. Joints allow the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge

Explanation:

The reasons why joints are allowed on roadway is to accommodate the contraction and expansion of the road as cars put force on them.

Most materials used in making roadways are susceptible to expansion and contraction.
When a measure of force is applied their length either increases or decreases depending on the type of force.
To accommodate these changes, joints are placed in roadways

Two children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that has a mass of 100.kg and radius of 1.60m and is rotating at 20.0rpm

Gre4nikov [31]

Here since both children and merry go round is our system and there is no torque acting on this system

So we will use angular momentum conservation in this

$I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2$

now here we have

$I_1 = \frac{MR^2}{2} + m_1R^2 + m_2R^2$

$I_1 = \frac{100(1.60)^2}{2} + (22 + 28)(1.60)^2$

$I_1 = 256$

Now when children come to the position of half radius

then we will have

$I_2 = \frac{MR^2}{2} + m_1(\frac{R}{2})^2 + m_2(\frac{R}{2})^2$

$I_2 = \frac{100(1.6)^2}{2} + (28 + 22)(0.8)^2$

$I_2 = 160$

now from above equation we have

$256 (20.0 rpm) = 160(\omega_2)$

$\omega_2 = 32 rpm$
