Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Force and Power.
Since, according to the Newton's law,
Force = mass * Acceleration.
hence, here
Force = 142 N, accelration = 22.75 m/s2
hence, mass = 142/22.75
===> Mass = 6.24 Kg
hence the mass of the shot is 6.24 Kg
Answer:
v = 2.21 m/s
Explanation:
The foreman had released the box from rest at a height of 0.25 m above the ground.
We need to find the speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. Let v is the velocity at the bottom of the ramp. It can be calculated using conservation of energy as follows :

So, its velocity at the bottom of the ramp is 2.21 m/s.
Answer:
The torque on the child is now the same, τ.
Explanation:
- It can be showed that the external torque applied by a net force on a rigid body, is equal to the product of the moment of inertia of the body with respect to the axis of rotation, times the angular acceleration.
- In this case, as the movement of the child doesn't create an external torque, the torque must remain the same.
- The moment of inertia is the sum of the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (the same that for a solid disk) plus the product of the mass of the child times the square of the distance to the center.
- When the child is standing at the edge of the merry-go-round, the moment of inertia is as follows:

- When the child moves to a position half way between the center and the edge of the merry-go-round, the moment of inertia of the child decreases, as the distance to the center is less than before, as follows:

- Since the angular acceleration increases from α to 2*α, we can write the torque expression as follows:
τ = 3/4*m*r² * (2α) = 3/2*m*r²
same result than in (2), so the torque remains the same.
