Answer:

Her linear velocity (speed) is approximately 2.2 m/sec

Her angular velocity is approximately 1.26 rad/second

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The diameter of the merry-go-round, d = 3.5 m

The number of revolutions she travels per minute = 12 revolutions per minute

Therefore, we have;

The distance she travels in one revolution = π·d = π × 3.5 m

The distance of the twelve revolutions = 12 × π × 3.5 m

The time she takes for the 12 revolutions = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, her speed = 12 × π × 3.5 m/(60 seconds) ≈ 2.2 m/sec

Her angular velocity = Angle covered/Time = 12 × 2 × π/60 ≈ 1.26 rad/second.

Answer:

Distance, such that displacement over time is taken into account doesn't change regardless of the length in x meters or mass in kg
So the force will remain constant given 16 units

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

$m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg$

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

$U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J$

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

$K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T$

Whereas $N_A$ stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

$K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J$

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.
