A 50.0-kg child stands at the rim of a merry-go-round of radius 2.00 m, rotating in such a way that it makes one revolution in 2

.09 s. What minimum coefficient of static friction between her feet and the floor of the merry-go-round is required to keep her in the circular path

Answer:

2.01

Explanation:

First, we need to find the centripetal acceleration.

We're given that the merry go round rotates 1 revolution in 2.09 seconds. Converting to rpm, we know that it rotates 30 revolution per minute

Now this speed gotten in rpm will be converted to m/s, to ease the calculation

30 rpm = πdN/60 m/s

30 rpm = (3.142 * 4 * 30)/60

30 rpm = 377.04/60

30 rpm = 6.284 m/s

a(c) = v²/r

a(c) = 6.284²/2

a(c) = 39.49 / 2

a(c) = 19.74 m/s²

F = ma

F = 50 * 19.74

F = 987 N

Also, Normal Force, F(n) =

F(n) = mg

F(n) = 50 * 9.81

F(n) = 490.5

We then use this to find the coefficient of static friction, μ

μ = F/F(n)

μ = 987 / 490.5

μ = 2.01

Need Help Please and Thank You). Question 1: Explain how longitudinal waves and transverse waves are similar to each other and d
natulia [17]

1) The longitudinal waves move in parallel direction to the source of vibration. The transverse waves move in perpendicular direction to the source of vibration . They are similar in the sense that energy is transferred in the form of waves.

2) Reflection occurs when waves bounce from a surface back toward the source. Refraction is when waves are deflected when the waves go through a substance.

3) The Law of Conservation of Energy

states that energy can neither be created

nor destroyed, it can only be transferred or

changed from one form to another.

A mirror with a reflecting surface that caves inward is said to be
Nina [5.8K]
Concave Mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface that is bulging inward. This is the opposite of Convex Mirror which has a bulging outward surface. Concave mirrors are also called converging mirrors. The concave mirror reflected the light inward to a single focal point. These are usually used in reflecting telescopes.

What is the net work doneon the object over the distance shown?
GuDViN [60]

A)F_0d

Explanation

If you graph the force on an object as a function of the position of that object, then the area under the curve will equal the work done on that object, so we need to find the area under the function to find the work

Step 1

find the area under the function.

so

Area:

\text{Area}=rec\tan gle_{green}+triangle_{gren}-triangle_{red}\begin{gathered} \text{the area of a rectangle is given by} \\ A_{rec}=lenght\cdot widht \\ \text{and} \\ \text{the area of a triangle is given by:} \\ A_{tr}=\frac{base\cdot height}{2} \end{gathered}

so

\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=rec\tan gle_{green}+triangle_{gren}-triangle_{red} \\ \text{replace} \\ \text{Area}=(F_0\cdot d)+\frac{(F_0\cdot d)}{2}-\frac{(F_0\cdot d)}{2} \\ \text{Area}=(F_0\cdot d) \\ Area=F_0d \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is

A)F_0d
