You stand on a merry-go-round which is spinning at f = 0:25 revolutions per second. You are R = 200 cm from the center. (a) Find

the angular speed ! At which it is spinning. (b) Find the centripetal acceleration, ac with which it is spinning. (c) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction is between your shoes and the floor that will keep you from slipping off?

Answer:

(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²

(c) μs = 0.5

Explanation:

(a)

The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:

ω = 2πf

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s

Therefore,

ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)

<u>ω = 1.57 rad/s </u>

(b)

The centripetal acceleration can be found as:

ac = v²/R

but,

v = Rω

Therefore,

ac = (Rω)²/R

ac = Rω²

therefore,

ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²

<u>ac = 4.92 m/s² </u>

(c)

In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

m*ac = μs*R = μs*W

m*ac = μs*mg

ac = μs*g

μs = ac/g

μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>μs = 0.5</u>

Suppose you have two magnets. Magnet A doesn't have its poles labeled, but Magnet B does have a clearly labeled north and south
Elina [12.6K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to know the fundamental principle of magnetism.

A magnet have two poles .The important characteristic of a magnet is that like poles will repel each other while unlike poles will attract each other.

Through this concept the question can be answered  as explained below-

A-As per first option the side of  magnet A is repelled by the south pole  of magnet B. Hence the pole of a must be south .It can't be north as it will lead to attraction.

B-The side of magnet A is repelled by the  north pole of magnet B. Hence the side of A must be  north pole.It can't be a south pole.

C-The side of magnet A is attracted by the south pole  of magnet  B .Hence the side of magnet A must be north.Hence this is right

D-The side of magnet A is attracted by the north pole of magnet B. Hence the side of A must south.It can't be north as it will lead to repulsion.

Hence the option C is right.

The atomic mass of gold is 0.197 kg/mole. how many moles are in 0.566 kg of gold.
iogann1982 [59]

Explanation:

0.566kg *(1mol/0.197 kg)= 2.87 mol gold

note how the units cancel out, if the units do not cancel out (kg/kg=1) then u did something wrong

A softball player moving 3.89 m/s
Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.119 s

Explanation:

Given that

U=3.89\ m/s\\a=-1.44\ m/s^2\\S=4.8\ m

Lets take final speed of the softball after covering 4.8 m = V

We know that

V^2=U^2+2aS\\V^2=3.89^2-2\times 1.44\times 4.8\\V=3.7\ m/s

Also We know that

V=U+at\\

Putting the value of V ,U and a in the previous equation  We get

3.7=3.89-1.44\times t\\t=0.119\ s

Therefore slide time will be 0.119 s
