A merry go round at the park is spinning. You stand on the outer edge and are traveling at constant speed of 5 m/s. You walk hal

Answer:

a' = 2a

Explanation:

The acceleration during this circular motion is the centripetal acceleration. Initially, the acceleration will be given as:

a = v²/r   --------------------- equation (1)

Where,

a = centripetal acceleration at outer edge

v = speed of merry go round = 5 m/s

r = distance from center of round to person (outer edge)

Now, when the person moves half way towards center. Then, the acceleration becomes:

a' = v²/r'

where,

r' = r/2

Therefore,

a' = v²/(r/2)

a' = 2v²/r

using equation (1):

<u>a' = 2a </u>

Answer:

1)    Time interval                 Blue Car                      Red Car

          0 - 2 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          2 - 3 s                Constant Velocity           Constant Velocity

          3 - 5 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          5 - 6 s                Constant Velocity           Decreasing Velocity

2) For Red and Blue car y₂  = 120       v = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}} = \frac{120-0}{6-0} = 20 m/s

     We get the same velocity for two cars because it is the average velocity of the car at the given interval of time. It is measured for initial and final position.

3)   At t = 2s, the cars are the same position, and are moving at the same rate

                    Position - same

                    Velocity - same

The position-time graph shares the same spot for two cars.

A bedroom bureau with a mass of 45 kg, including drawers and clothing, rests on the floor. (a) If the coefficient of static fric
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

Explanation:

If you want to move an object, you need to apply a force that is bigger than the force of the statical friction.

The force of statical friction can be written as.

Ff = k*N

where k is the coefficient of static friction, in this case, k = 0.45, and N is the normal force between the object and the surface.

In this case, the normal force is the weight of the bedroom bureau, this is:

N = m*g = 45kg*9.8m/s^2 = 441N

Then the force is:

Fr = 0.45*441N = 198.45N

This means that the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

and after this point, the force of friction will work wit the kinetic coefficient of friction, that usually is smaller than the statical one.

A chair of weight 95.0N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F = 3
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Answer:

118.4 N

Explanation:

weight of chair, mg = 95 N

Push, F = 39 N

Ф = 37 ° below x axis

Let n be the normal force.

So, by using the diagram and resolve the components of Force F.

n = mg + F SinФ

n = 95 + 39 Sin 37°

n = 95 + 39 x 0.6

n = 118.4 N
