So, the new angular speed when the man walks to a point 0 m from the center (in rad/s) is approximately <u>0.87π rad/</u>s.

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! I will help you with this problem. This problem will mostly adopt the principle of rotational dynamics, especially angular momentum. When there is a change in the mass or radius of rotation of an object, it will not affect its angular momentum, only its angular velocity will change. Therefore, the law of conservation of angular momentum can be written as :

\sf{L_1 = L_2}

\sf{I_1 \times \omega_1 = I_2 \times \omega_2}

\boxed{\sf{\bold{m_1 \times (r_1)^2 \times \omega_1 = m_2 \times (r_2)^2 \times \omega_2}}}

With the following condition :

  • \sf{m_1} = initial mass (kg)
  • \sf{m_2} = final object mass (kg)
  • \sf{r_1} = initial turning radius (m)
  • \sf{r_2} = final turning radius (m)
  • \sf{\omega_1} = initial angular velocity (rad/s)
  • \sf{\omega_2} = final angular velocity (rad/s)

<h3>Rationale</h3>

Previously, we assumed that when rotating, only merry-go-round that experienced inertia so the man will only add to the mass of the merry-go-round. Perhaps, having a man at the end of it will change the slope (direction of torque), but not change the value of angular momentum. So, when this person is in the middle or on the central axis (read: 0 m from the center), the man no longer had any effect on the weight gain.

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

  • \sf{m_1} = initial mass = 88 (man) + 75 (object) = 163 kg
  • \sf{m_2} = final object mass = 75 kg
  • \sf{r_1} = \sf{r_2} = r >> The radius of rotation is always the same
  • \sf{\omega_1} = initial angular velocity = 0.2 rev/s = 0.2 × 2π rad/s >> 0.4π rad/s

What was asked :

  • \sf{\omega_2} = final angular velocity = ... rad/s

Step by step :

\sf{m_1 \times (r_1)^2 \times \omega_1 = m_2 \times (r_2)^2 \times \omega_2}

\sf{163 \times \cancel{(r)^2} \times 0.4 \pi = 75 \times \cancel{(r)^2} \times \omega_2}

\sf{65.2 \pi = 75 \times \omega_2}

\sf{\omega_2 = \frac{65.2 \pi}{75}}

\boxed{\sf{\omega_2 \approx 0.87 \pi \: rad/s}}

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the new angular speed when the man walks to a point 0 m from the center (in rad/s) is approximately 0.87π rad/s

<h3><u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u></h3>

  • A certain circuit is composed of two series resistors
  • The total resistance is 10 ohms
  • One of the resistor is 4 ohms

<h3><u>To </u><u>Find </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • We have to find the value of other resistor?

<h3><u>Let's </u><u>Begin </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

We know that,

In series combination,

  • When a number of resistances are connected in series, the equivalent I.e resultant resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances and is greater than any individual resistance

<u>That </u><u>is</u><u>, </u>

Rn in series = R1 + R2 + R3.....So on

<u>Therefore</u><u>, </u>

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>question</u><u>, </u>

We have,

R1 + R2 = 10 Ω

4 + R2 = 10Ω

R2 = 10 - 4

R2 = 6Ω

Hence, The value of R2 resistor in series is 6Ω

A man is standing on a weighing machine on a ship which is bobbing up and down with simple harmonic motion of period T=15.0s.Ass
STALIN [3.7K]

Well, first of all, one who is sufficiently educated to deal with solving
this exercise is also sufficiently well informed to know that a weighing
machine, or "scale", should not be calibrated in units of "kg" ... a unit
of mass, not force.  We know that the man's mass doesn't change,
and the spectre of a readout in kg that is oscillating is totally bogus.

If the mass of the man standing on the weighing machine is 60kg, then
on level, dry land on Earth, or on the deck of a ship in calm seas on Earth,
the weighing machine will display his weight as  588 newtons  or as 
132.3 pounds.  That's also the reading as the deck of the ship executes
simple harmonic motion, at the points where the vertical acceleration is zero.

If the deck of the ship is bobbing vertically in simple harmonic motion with
amplitude of M and period of 15 sec, then its vertical position is 

                                     y(t) = y₀ + M sin(2π t/15) .

The vertical speed of the deck is     y'(t) = M (2π/15) cos(2π t/15)

and its vertical acceleration is          y''(t) = - (2πM/15) (2π/15) sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - (4 π² M / 15²)  sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - 0.1755 M sin(2π t/15) .

There's the important number ... the  0.1755 M.
That's the peak acceleration.
From here, the problem is a piece-o-cake.

The net vertical force on the intrepid sailor ... the guy standing on the
bathroom scale out on the deck of the ship that's "bobbing" on the
high seas ... is (the force of gravity) + (the force causing him to 'bob'
harmonically with peak acceleration of  0.1755 x amplitude).

At the instant of peak acceleration, the weighing machine thinks that
the load upon it is a mass of  65kg, when in reality it's only  60kg.
The weight of 60kg = 588 newtons.
The weight of 65kg = 637 newtons.
The scale has to push on him with an extra (637 - 588) = 49 newtons
in order to accelerate him faster than gravity.

Now I'm going to wave my hands in the air a bit:

Apparent weight = (apparent mass) x (real acceleration of gravity)

(Apparent mass) = (65/60) = 1.08333 x real mass.

Apparent 'gravity' = 1.08333 x real acceleration of gravity.

The increase ... the 0.08333 ... is the 'extra' acceleration that's due to
the bobbing of the deck.

                        0.08333 G  =  0.1755 M

The 'M' is what we need to find.

Divide each side by  0.1755 :          M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) G

'G' = 9.0 m/s²
                                       M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) (9.8) =  4.65 meters .

That result fills me with an overwhelming sense of no-confidence.
But I'm in my office, supposedly working, so I must leave it to others
to analyze my work and point out its many flaws.
In any case, my conscience is clear ... I do feel that I've put in a good
5-points-worth of work on this problem, even if the answer is wrong .

zaharov [31]
Batteries always use direct current. That eliminates A and C. The other part of the answers is just asking what direct/alternating means. Alternating currents change directions moving one way then another. Direct current only moves in one direction. Therefore, the answer is D, since the current is direct and direct currents move in one direction.
