A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.4 m from the center of the ride. The operator turns on the ride and

monitta

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction is 0.29

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m

The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.

We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.

$\mu mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

v is the speed of cat, $v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}$

$\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2r}{gt^2}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 4.4}{9.8\times (7.7)^2}\\\\\mu=0.29$

So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.

What happens when a light ray is parallel to the principal axis ?

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens. ... These rays of light will refract when they enter the lens and refract when they leave the lens.

Hope this helps...
