A physics student of mass 43.0 kg is standing at the edge of the flat roof of a building, 12.0 m above the sidewalk. An unfriend

ly dog is running across the roof toward her. Next to her is a large wheel mounted on a horizontal axle at its center. The wheel, used to lift objects from the ground to the roof, has a light crank attached to it and a light rope wrapped around it; the free end of the rope hangs over the edge of the roof. The student radius 0.300 m and a moment of inertia of 9.60 kg m^2 for rotation about the axle, how long does it take her to reach the side walk, and how fast will she be moving just beofre she lands?

Answer:

The speed of the student just before she lands, v₂ is approximately 8.225 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the physic student, m = 43.0 kg

The height at which the student is standing, h = 12.0 m

The radius of the wheel, r = 0.300 m

The moment of inertia of the wheel, I = 9.60 kg·m²

The initial potential energy of the female student, P.E.₁ = m·g·h₁

Where;

m = 43.0 kg

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = 12.0 h

∴ P.E.₁ = 43 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 12.0 m = 5061.96 J

The kinetic rotational energy of the wheel and kinetic energy of the student supporting herself from the rope she grabs and steps off the roof, K₁, is given as follows;

K_1 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega_{1}^2

The initial kinetic energy, 1/2·m·v₁² and the initial kinetic rotational energy, 1/2·m·ω₁² are 0

∴ K₁ = 0 + 0 = 0

The final potential energy of the student when lands. P.E.₂ = m·g·h₂ = 0

Where;

h₂ = 0 m

The final kinetic energy, K₂, of the wheel and student is give as follows;

K_2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v_{2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega_{2}^2

Where;

v₂ = The speed of the student just before she lands

ω₂ = The angular velocity of the wheel just before she lands

By the conservation of energy, we have;

P.E.₁ + K₁ = P.E.₂ + K₂

∴ m·g·h₁ + \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega_{1}^2 = m·g·h₂ + \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v_{2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot I \cdot \omega_{2}^2

Where;

ω₂ = v₂/r

∴ 5061.96 J + 0 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 43.0 \, kg \times v_{2}^2+\dfrac{1}{2} \times 9.60 \, kg\cdot m^2 \cdot \left (\dfrac{v_2}{0.300 \, m} }\right ) ^2

5,061.96 J = 21.5 kg × v₂² + 53.\overline 3 kg × v₂² = 21.5 kg × v₂² + 160/3 kg × v₂²

v₂² = 5,061.96 J/(21.5 kg + 160/3 kg) ≈ 67.643118 m²/s²

v₂ ≈ √(67.643118 m²/s²) ≈ 8.22454363 m/s

The speed of the student just before she lands, v₂ ≈ 8.225 m/s.

What is a microwave?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength in the range 0.001–0.3 m, shorter than that of a normal radio wave but longer than those of infrared radiation. Microwaves are used in radar, in communications, and for heating in microwave ovens and in various industrial processes.

a 100 g cart initially moving at 0.5 m/s collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. a) using the equation in the theory,
cupoosta [38]

A 100 g cart is moving at 0.5 m/s that collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. Final velocity is calculated to be 0.25m/s.

Collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision is known as elastic collision . Momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.

Collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy is inelastic collision.

For an elastic collision, we use the formula,

m₁V₁i+ m₂V₂i = m₁V1f + m₂V₂f

For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocity of the 100g cart will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart.

Final velocity = 0.5/2

=0.25 m/s.

How is an ammeter connected in a circuit to measure current flowing through it?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

It is connected in series with the circuit

Explanation:

This is because to measure the current in the circuit, the current in the circuit has to flow through the ammeter. As such, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit so as to measure the current flowing through the circuit.

So, to measure the current flowing through a circuit with an ammeter, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit.

A dancer moves around a path like the one
mash [69]

Given what we know, despite not having the figure attached to the question, we can still confirm that the magnitude for the acceleration of the dancer will be zero.

<h3>Why is the dancer's acceleration equal to zero?</h3>

This has to do with how the question clarifies the speed of the dancer. Though it does not give us an exact value, we are told that the speed is constant. This is an indicator that the acceleration is zero because with any other value for acceleration the speed <u>cannot remain</u> constant.

Therefore, given that any value for acceleration will increase or decrease the speed of the dancer, but we are told that the dancer's speed is constant throughout the trip, we can confirm that the magnitude for the acceleration of the dancer is zero.

The hierarchy of needs is the spectrum of needs ranging from basic ________ needs to ________ needs to self-actualization.
Zanzabum
The hierarchy of need was developed by Maslow. The pyramid is a motivational theory in psychology that argues that people is seeking to meet successively higher needs. The base of the pyramid is for the physiological needs to safety, belongingness, esteem, and finaly self-actualization.
