A child sits on a rotating merry-go-round, 2.1 m from its center. If the speed of the child is 2.2 m/s, what is the minimum coef

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

A ray of laser light travels through air and enters an unknown material. The laser enters the material at an angle of 36 degrees
V125BC [204]

Answer:1.27

Explanation:

Given

incident angle i=36^{\circ}

refracted angle r=27.5^{\circ}

Suppose n_2 is the refractive index of material then using Snell's law we  can write

n_1\sin i=n_2\sin r

where n_1=refractive index of air

1\times \sin (36)=n_2\times \sin (27.5)

n_2=\dfrac{0.5877}{0.4617}

n_2=1.27

A robot on a basketball court needs to throw the ball in the hoop. The ball have a velocity of 10 m/s and an an angle of 60 degr
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Initial velocity = 10 m/s

θ = 60°

This is the case of projectile motion

So the horizontal component of velocity 10 m/s  =  10 cosθ

u = 10 cosθ

u = 10 cos 60°

u=5 m/s

x= 5 m

So in the horizontal direction

x = u .t

5 = 5 .t

t = 1 sec  The vertical component of velocity 10 m/s = 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sinθ

Vo= 10 sin 60°

Vo = 8.66 m/s

V^2=V_o^2+2gh

0=V_o^2-2gh

0=8.66^2-2\times 10\times h

h=3.75 m

So height of robot = 3.75 - 0.75 m

   height of robot =3 m
