Answer:

3.1 kg

Explanation:

Applying,

R = m(g-a)..................... Equation 1

Where R = weight of the scale when the elevator is coming down, a = acceleration of the elevator, g = acceleration due to gravith.

From the question,

Given: m = 5 kg, a = 3.8 m/s²

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

R = 5(9.8-3.8)

R = 5(6)

R = 30 N

Hence the spring scale is

m' = R/g

m' = 30/9.8

m' = 3.1 kg

A brave child decides to grab onto an already spinning merry‑go‑round. The child is initially at rest and has a mass of 34.5 kg.

Answer:

I_1 = 32.5 kg m^2

Explanation:

Here as we know that total angular momentum is always conserved for child + round system

so here by angular momentum conservation we have

I_1 \omega_1 = (I_1 + I_2)\omega_2

here we have

I_2 = mR^2 (inertia of boy)

I_2 = (34.5)(1.45^2)

I_2 = 72.5 kg m^2

now we have

I_1(2\pi 55) = (I_1 + 72.5)(2 \pi 17)

I_1 = (I_1 + 72.5)(0.31)

I_1(1 - 0.31) = 22.4

I_1 = 32.5 kg m^2

A pogo stick has a spring with a force constant of 2.50 × 104 N/m , which can be compressed 11.2 cm. what maximum height, in met
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

h = 36.4 cm

Explanation:

given,

spring constant = 2.5 x 10⁴ N/m

compressed distance = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

mass of the child = 44 kg

maximum height = ?

by energy of conservation

K.E_i +P.E_i= K.E_f + P.E_f

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5 \times 10^4 \times 0.112^2 = 44\times 9.8 \times h

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5 \times 10^4 \times 0.112^2 = 44\times 9.8 \times h

156.8 = 44 \times 9.8 \times h

h = \dfrac{156.8}{44 \times 9.8}

h = 0.364 m

h = 36.4 cm
