Answer:

the velocity of the kid is 5.6 m/s

Explanation:

r is the radius and w is the frequency.

so we should know that the diameter is 18m and the diameter is equal to two times the radius, so r = 18m/2 = 9m

we should also know that the circumference of a circle is equal to c = 2pi*r, so each revolution has this length. if the kid does 5.9 revolutions in one minute then the kid spins at v = 5.9*2pi*9m/min

so we want to write this in meters per second and this means that we need to divide it by 60!

v = (5.9*2pi*9/60)m/s = 5.56 m/s

so your answer will be  5.6 m/s glad i could help!

0.25 m/s

Explanation:

The radius <em>r</em><em> </em> of the merry-go-round is half its diameter <em>D</em><em>:</em>

r = \frac{1}{2}D = \frac{1}{2}(1.5\:\text{m}) = 0.75\:\text{m}

We also need to convert the angular speed from rev/min to rad/s. We know that there are 60 seconds to a minute and that there are 2\pi radians per revolution. Therefore,

\omega = 3.2\:\dfrac{\text{rev}}{\text{min}}×\dfrac{2\pi\:\text{rad}}{1\:\text{rev}}×\dfrac{1\:\text{min}}{60\:\text{s}}

\:\:\:\:=0.335\:\text{rad/s}

Now that we know the angular speed in rad/s, the child's linear speed can be calculated as

v = r\omega = (0.75\:\text{m})(0.335\:\text{rad/s}) = 0.25\:\text{m/s}

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
svetlana [45]

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum closest to radio waves is <u> microwaves</u>.

The wavelength of radio waves ranges from 10 cm to more than 1 km. The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that occurs closest to the radio waves is called the microwave region.

Microwaves have wavelengths ranging from around 1 mm to 10 cm.

The waves overlap in the region of 10 cm.

Thus, the region of electromagnetic spectrum closest to radiowaves is <u> microwaves.</u>

Define suspension and list two examples.
tigry1 [53]
<span>Suspension, chemistry definition is a heterogenous mixture, meaning one substance is different from another, when mixed, either of the substance (particularly the solid one), do not mix evenly. It could clearly be seen when one mixes a solution in a suspension state because it forms a cloudy solution, Best example of this is mud. In mud, though there is a mixture of solid and liquid, there is still evident traces of solid particles that do not mix evenly in the solution.</span>

How could glacial marks on one continent be similar to glacial marks on another continent far away?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Plate Tectonics

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that the continents move around due to due plate tectonics and the movement of magma under the crust. This explains why some fossils of the same kind are found on other continents, and same goes for the Glacial Marks.
