An astronaut with a mass of 91 kg is 0.30 m above the moons surface. The astronauts potential energy is 46 J. Calculate the free

-fall acceleration on the moon?

Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2

Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?.
natita [175]

For a merry go round with a radius of R=1.8 m and moment of inertia I=184 kg-m^2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of w=1.48 rad/s   is mathematically given as

F= 618.9 N

<h3>What is the centripetal force?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the angular speed  is mathematically given as

w = v/R

Therefore

w= 4.7/1.8

w= 2.611 rad/s

Where total momentum

Tm= 642.96 + 272.32

Tm= 915.28

and total inertia

Ti= 184 + 246.24

Ti= 430.24

In conclusion, centripetal force

F= mrw^2

F = m*R*w2^2

F = 76*1.8*2.127^2

F= 618.9 N

a merry go round with a radius of R=1.8 m and moment of inertia I=184 kg-m^2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of w=1.48 rad/s in the counter clockwise direction when viewed from above a person with mass m=76 kg and velocity v=4.7 m/s runs on a path tangent to the merry go round once at the merry go round the person jumps on and holds on to the rim of the merry go round angular speed of the merry go round after the person jumps on 2.127 rad/s Once the merry go round travels at this new angular speed with what force does the person need to hold on?
