Answer:A

Explanation:

From the question, the given parameters are given.

Mass M = 30kg

Radius r = 2 m

Coefficient of static friction μ = 0.8

Coefficient of kinetic friction μ = 0.6

Kinetic friction Fk = μ × mg

Fk = 0.6 × 30 × 9.8

Fk = 176.4 N

The force acting on the merry go round is a centripetal force F.

F = MV^2/r

This force must be greater than or equal to the kinetic friction Fk. That is,

F = Fk

F = 176.4

Substitute F , M and r into the centripetal force formula above

176.4 = (30×V^2)/2

Cross multiply

352.8 = 30V^2

V^2 = 352.8/30

V = sqrt (11.76) m/s

V = 5.24 m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the merry go round before the child begins to slip is sqrt (12) m/s approximately

Does magnets exert a force. explain​
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Magnets exert forces and torques on each other due to the rules of electromagnetism. The forces of attraction field of magnets are due to microscopic currents of electrically charged electrons orbiting nuclei and the intrinsic magnetism of fundamental particles (such as electrons) that make up the material. Hope this helps you! :)

A is a hot object.  B is a cold object.  the two are brought into contact with each other so that heat is developed
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

A) Cold object will start getting hot

B) Heat exchange will stop as the two object acquire the same temperature.

Explanation:

A) When one hot object and one cold object are kept in contact then the heat is transferred from the hot object to the cold object via different modes of heat transmission. Hence, the cold object starts getting hot

B) The transmission of heat from the hot object to the cold object will stop as the temperature of the two object becomes equal to each other.

the police department determined that the force required to drag a 130 N(29 lb) car tire across the pavement at a constant veloc
ki77a [65]
The force of friction is given by:
f = μR, where μ is the friction coefficient and R is the reaction force, which will be equal to the weight.
100 = μ x 130
μ = 0.77

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. The density is maximum at 4 degree centigrade and decreases below that temperature as shown in graph.

Explanation:do you want me to explain it more??
