A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$7.1$ ms⁻¹

Explanation:

$d$ = diameter of merry-go-round = 4 m

$r$ = radius of merry-go-round = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2 m

$I$ = moment of inertia = 500 kgm²

$w_{i}$ = angular velocity of merry-go-round before ryan jumps = 2.0 rad/s

$w_{f}$ = angular velocity of merry-go-round after ryan jumps = 0 rad/s

$v$ = velocity of ryan before jumping onto the merry-go-round

$m$ = mass of ryan = 70 kg

Using conservation of angular momentum

$Iw_{i} - m v r = (I + mr^{2})w_{f}$

$(500)(2.0) - (70) v (2) = (I + mr^{2})(0)$

$1000 = 140 v$

$v = 7.1$ ms⁻¹

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?

elena55 [62]

<span>The rule of inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force has acted upon it. Because the person doesn't have their seatbelt on, they will keep moving. But if they were wearing a seatbelt, that would work as the force that is supposed to stop the person from flying forward.

Hope this helps :)

a bal is launched upward with a velocity of v0 from the edge of a cliff of height D. it reaches a maximum height of H above its

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D/H =15

Explanation:

We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{0} ^{2} = 2* g* H (1)$

If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g} (2)$

We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{1} ^{2} = 2* g* D (3)$

In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
When we replace these values in (1), we find that v₁ = -v₀.
Replacing in (3), we have:

$(4*v_{0})^{2} - (-v_{0}) ^{2} = 2* g* D\\ \\ 15*v_{0}^{2} = 2*g*D$
