Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 26 ft diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses i
hammer [34]

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

Torque can be best described as which of the following? Give an example of both a force and a torque and explain why in a couple
kicyunya [14]

Answer: rotational force

Explanation:

Torque is the twisting force which cause rotation and the axis of rotation is the point at which the object rotates.

Torque is a rotational force as it leads to the rotation of an object about an axis. Force simply means a pull or push. When an unbalanced ball acts on a force, the ball, the ball will be moved towards the linear motion.

Then, the unbalanced force that is acting in the ball produces torque which causes the ball's rotational motion.

A 2.0 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expands isothermally from state a to state b, Pa = 600 Pa, Va = 3.0 m3, and Vb = 9.0 m3.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

a) Pb= 200 PA

b).work done= -3600 joules

c).3600joules

D).the system works under isothermal condition so no heat was transferred

Explanation:

2.0 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expands isothermally from state a to state b, Pa = 600 Pa, Va = 3.0 m3, and Vb = 9.0 m3.

a). PbVb= PaVa

Pb= (PaVa)/VB

Pb= (600*3)/9

Pb= 1800/9

Pb= 200 PA

b). work done= n(Pb-Pa)(Vb-Va)

Work done= 2*(200-600)(9-3)

Work done= -600(6)

Work done=- 3600 Pam³

work done= -3600 joules

C). Change in internal energy I the work done on the system

= 3600joules

D).the system works under isothermal condition so no heat was transferred
