A 20-kg child running at 1.4 m/s jumps onto a playground merry-go-round that has mass 180 kg and radius 1.6m. She is moving tang

ent to the platform when she jumps and she lands right on the edge. What is the angular velocity of the child and the merry-go-round if the merry-go-round started from rest

Answer:

ωf = 0.16 rad/s

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of the child = mr² = 20(1.6²) = 51.2 kg•m²

Moment of Inertia of the MGR = ½mr² = ½(180)1.6² = 230.4 kg•m²

(ASSUMING it is a uniform disk)

Initial angular momentum of the child = Iω = I(v/r) = 51.2(1.4/1.6) = 44.8 kg•m²/s

Conservation of angular momentum

44.8 = (51.2 + 230.4)ωf

ωf = 0.15909090...

What is the main difference between velocity and speed?
Marina86 [1]
Speed is scalar, meaning it's only going to be like 74 mph, doesn't matter which direction. Velocity is a vector, meaning it has direction. You can go -74mph when talking about velocity, not speed.

In a shuffleboard game, the puck slides a total of 12 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient ofkinetic friction between the
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg

Explanation:

given data

total distance = 12 m

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.28

solution

we will apply equation of motion that is

v² - u² = 2 × a × s    ................1

we know acceleration will be

a = \frac{-u^2}{2\times S}  

Then we have

Force = mass × acceleration   .................2

m × \frac{-u^2}{2\times S} = -μk mg

The puck decelerates due to the kinetic frictional force μk mg  

and frictional force is negative as it opposes the motion.

so we get initial velocity of the puck which is strike.
