A merry-go-round at a playground is a circular platform that is mounted parallel to the ground and can rotate about an axis that

is perpendicular to the platform at its center. The angular speed of the merry-go-round is constant, and a child at a distance of 1.4 m from the axis has a tangential speed of 2.2 m/s. What is the tangential speed of another child, who is located at a distance of 2.1 m from the axis?
(a) 1.5 m/s
(b) 3.3 m/s
(c) 2.2 m/s
(d) 5.0 m/s
(e) 0.98 m/s

Answer:

V_2=3.3m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance d_1=1.4m

Tangential speed V=2.2m/s

Distance 2 d_2=2.1m

Generally the equation for Angular velocity is mathematically given by

 w=\frac{v}{r}

Therefore

 \frac{v_1}{r_1}=\frac{v_2}{r_2}

 V_2=\frac{2.2*2.1}{1.4}

 V_2=3.3m/s

7) T F If two forces of equal magnitude act on an object that is hinged at a pivot, the force acting farther from the pivot must
saul85 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau=Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot

\theta is the angle between the directions of F and d

We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have

d_1 > d_2

However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have

\theta_1 =0\\sin \theta=0

and the torque produced by this force would be zero.

So, the statement is false.

In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the w
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: W.D = 1/2mv^2

Explanation:

If an external force or a single force is acting on a body. Just like the first law of thermodynamics, the force acting on the body will cause work done on the system.

Work done = force × distance

And the work done on the body will cause the molecules of the body to experience motion and thereby producing kinetic energy.

The work done will be converted to kinetic energy.

W.D = 1/2mv^2

7 types of electromagnetic waves from lowest to highest frequency
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:  

<u>radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays</u>.
