Answer:
Explanation:
For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.
so:
where is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round,
is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round,
is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and
is the final angular velocity.
First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:
I =
I =
I = 359.375 kg*m^2
Where is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round
Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:
W = 0.520*2 rad/s
W = 3.2672 rad/s
Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:
Finally we replace all the data:
Solving for :
Given parameters:
Mass of object = 6.7kg
Velocity = 8m/s
Unknown parameter:
Kinetic energy = ?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;
Kinetic and potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.
Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;
Kinetic energy =
where m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity of the body
Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;
Kinetic energy = x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4J
So the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4J
