Answer:

A.) 4 revolution

B.) 0.2 revolution

C.) 4 seconds

D.) 2.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a merry-go-round a.k.a "the spinny thing" is rotating at 15 RPM, and has a radius of 1.75 m

Solution

1 revolution = 2πr

Where r = 1.75m

A. How many revolutions will it make in 3 minutes?

(2π × 1.75) / 3

10.9955 / 3

3.665 RPM

Number of revolution = 15 / 3.665

Number of revolution = 4 revolution

B. How many revolutions will it make in 10.0 seconds?

First convert 10 seconds to minutes

10/60 = 0.167 minute

(2π × 1.75) / 0.167

10.9955 / 0.167

65.973

Number of revolution = 15 / 65.973

Number of revolution = 0.2 revolution

C. How long does it take for a person to make 1 complete revolution?

15 = 1 / t

Make t the subject of formula

t = 1/15

t = 0.0667 minute

t = 4 seconds

D. What is the velocity in m/s of person standing on its edge?

Velocity in m/ s will be:

Velocity = (15 × 2pi × r) / 60

Velocity = 164.9334 / 60

Velocity = 2.75 m/s

What is the relationship between the center of gravity and the support base for an object that is in stable equilibrium?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

when the center of gravity is within the washing area, the torque returns in the body to its initial position and is in a stable equilibrium

Explanation:

The concept of center of gravity is equivalent to the concept of center of mass, in this place all external forces applied can be considered.

When we analyze the balance of a body that is the torque it is the one that defines the balance

      τ = F xd

If the torque tends to restore the body to the initial position the balance is stable, but if the torque has to increase the body's rotation the balance is unstable

. When the body tends to rotate the torque with respect to the pivot point at the base it decreases because the distance from the center of gravity to the end of the base decreases in value, but it has to return it to the initial position, the balance is stable. The critical point of this process is when the center of gravity is at the limit of the body base area in this case the torque is zero; If the body rotates a little more the center of gravity is outside the base, the torque changes sign and has to increase the turn, going to an unstable balance.

In summary, when the center of gravity is within the washing area, the torque returns in the body to its initial position and is in a stable equilibrium.

1. A vector is given by its components, Ax = 2.5 and A, = 7.5. What angle
Allushta [10]

Answer:

A) 72° or 71.56°

Explanation:

We have two components on the X-axis and y-axis respectively. So we can use the tangent of the angle to be able to find the angle with respect to the horizontal component.

Ax = 2.5

Ay = 7.5

tan(α) = 7.5/2.5

\alpha = tan^{-1} (3)\\

α = 71.56°
