Answer:

The torque exerted on the merry-go-round is 766.95 Nm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the merry-go-round, m = 416 kg

radius of the disk, r = 1.7 m

angular speed of the merry-go-round, ω = 3.7 rad/s

time of motion, t = 2.9 s

The torque exerted on the merry-go-round is calculated as;

\tau = Fr= I\alpha\\\\\tau = (\frac{1}{2}  m r^2)(\frac{\omega }{t} )\\\\\tau = (\frac{1}{2} \times 416 \times 1.7^2)( \frac{3.7}{2.9} )\\\\\tau = 766.95 \ Nm

Therefore, the torque exerted on the merry-go-round is 766.95 Nm

A thin rod of length 1.4 m and mass 140 g is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swing l
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a The kinetic energy is  KE = 0.0543 J

b The height of the center of mass above that position is  h = 1.372 \ m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The length of the rod is  L = 1.4m

   The mass of the rod m = 140 = \frac{140}{1000} = 0.140 \ kg  

   The angular speed at the lowest point is w = 1.09 \ rad/s

Generally moment of inertia of the rod about an axis that passes through its one end is

                   I = \frac{mL^2}{3}  

Substituting values

               I = \frac{(0.140) (1.4)^2}{3}

               I = 0.0915 \ kg \cdot m^2

Generally the  kinetic energy rod is mathematically represented as

             KE = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2

                    KE = \frac{1}{2} (0.0915) (1.09)^2

                           KE = 0.0543 J

From the law of conservation of energy

The kinetic energy of the rod during motion =  The potential energy of the rod at the highest point

   Therefore

                   KE = PE = mgh

                        0.0543 = mgh

                             h = \frac{0.0543}{9.8 * 0.140}

                                h = 1.372 \ m

Suppose Earth's gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Write a paragraph
timama [110]
If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>
