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 ω 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 µs between your shoes and the floor that will keep you from slipping off?

Answer:

a) ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) ac = 194. 4 m/s²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

Explanation:

a) angular speed, ω = 2πf, where f is frequency of revolution

1 rps = 6.283 rad/s, π = 3.142

ω = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 6.28

ω = 9.86 rad/s

b) centripetal acceleration, a = rω²

where r is radius in meters; r = 200 cm or 2 m

a = 2 * 9.86²

a = 194. 4 m/s²

c) µs = frictional force/ normal force

frictional force = centripetal force = ma; where a is centripetal acceleration

normal force = mg; where g = 9.8 m/s²

µs = ma/mg = a/g

µs = 194.4 ms⁻²/9.8 ms⁻²

c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

An airplane maintains a speed of 585 km/h relative to the air it is flying through as it makes a trip to a city 815 km away to t
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

a)   t = 1.47 h    b) t = 1.32 h

Explanation:

a)  In this problem the plane and the wind are in the same North-South direction, whereby the vector sum is reduced to the scalar sum (ordinary). Let's calculate the total speed

     v = v_{f}f - v_{w}

     v = 585 -32.1

     v = 552.9 km / h

We use the speed ratio in uniform motion

     v = x / t

     t = x / v

     t = 815 /552.9

     t = 1.47 h

b)  We repeat the calculation, but this time the wind is going in the direction of the plane

      v=  v_{f}f - v_{w}

      v 585 + 32.1

      v = 617.1 km / h

      t = 815 /617.1

      t = 1.32 h

Why mirrors show texts in reverse order?
bogdanovich [222]
Mirrors reflect meaning shows what would be seen if everything was turned around, therefore, it shows text backwards because if it is turned around, it is in reverse order.
