Answer:

Explanation:

t = 2s

u = 0m/s (released from rest)

a = +g = 9.8m/s²

s = H = ?

using,

s = ut + 1/2at²

H = 0(2) + 1/2(9.8)(2²)

H = 0 + 9.8(2)

s = H = 19.6m

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev

Answer:

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

$L_i = L_f$

so:

$I_mW_m = I_sW_f$

where $I_m$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, $W_m$ is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, $I_s$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and $W_f$ is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = $\frac{1}{2}M_mR^2$

I = $\frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2$

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where $M_m$ is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2 $\pi$ rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2$

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2$

$I_s = 506.25kg*m^2$

Finally we replace all the data:

$(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f$

Solving for $W_f$ :

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

In an experiment, you find the mass of a cart to be 250 grams. What is the mass of the cart in kilograms?

It should be 0.25kg because you converter from g to kg and since 1g<1kg so you move the decimal to the left
