A 416 kg merry-go-round in the shape of a horizontal disk with a radius of 1.7 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the r

im of the disk and pulling on the rope. How large a torque would have to be exerted to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 3.7 rad/s in 2.9 s

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

What distance does light travel in water, glass, and diamond during the time that it travels 1.0 m in vacuum? The refractive ind
lidiya [134]

Answer:

refractive index for water,glass,diamond are 0.752m, 0.667m, 0.413m respectively

Explanation:

refractive index (n) = \frac{velocity of light in air/vacuum}{velocity of light in substance}

velocity =\frac{distance}{time}

The time for travel is kept constant for all mediums.

refractive index (n) = \frac{\frac{distance in vacuum}{time} }{\frac{distance in medium}{time} }\\ \\=\frac{distance in vacuum}{distance in medium}

distance in medium = \frac{distance in vacuum}{refractive index of medium}

S_{medium}  = \frac{S_{vacuum} }{n_{medium} }

For water, n= 1.33

S_{water} = \frac{1 }{1.33}

S_{water} = 0.752m

For glass, n=1.5

S_{glass}= \frac{1 }{1.5}

S_{glass} = 0.667m

For diamond, n= 2.42

S_{diamond} = \frac{1 }{2.42}

S_{diamond} = 0.413m

The potential energy of a watermelon is 15.0 J. The watermelon is 3.0 m high. What is the mass of the watermelon?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

m = 0.51[kg]

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

Epot = potential energy = 15 [J]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.8 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 3 [m]

Now replacing:

E_{pot}=m*g*h\\15=m*9.8*3\\m = 0.51[kg]
