A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745 ra

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be $8.05m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child $\omega =1.25rad/sec$

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration $\alpha =0.745rad/sec^2$

We know that linear velocity is given by $v=\omega r=1.25\times 4.65=5.815m/sec$

We know that radial acceleration is given by $a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{5.815^2}{4.65}=7.2718m/sec^2$

Tangential acceleration is given by

$a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^$

So total acceleration will be $a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}=8.05m/sec^2$

You start with spring that's already been stretched an unknown amount from equilibrium. After stretching it an additional 2.0 cm

maxonik [38]

Answer: 35*10^3 N/m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we know that the potential energy for spring is given by:

Up=1/2*k*x^2 where k is the spring constant and x is the streching or compresion position from the equilibrium point for the spring.

We also know that with additional streching of 2 cm of teh spring, the potential energy is 18J. Then it applied another additional streching of 2 cm and the energy is 25J.

Then the difference of energy for both cases is 7 J so:

ΔUp= 1/2*k* (0.02)^2 then

k=2*7/(0.02)^2=35000 N/m

Fill in the blanks to complete each statement about weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles call

nevsk [136]

Answer:

sediments

Explanation:

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles called:

sediments

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decay of rocks into smaller fragments to produce sediments. The product of rock weathering is basically sediments. Some of the sediments can be transformed to form soils when they combine with organic matter, water and air.

Physical weathering is when rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces, but the minerals in the rock remain the same.

Physical weathering

Physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller bits without altering the chemical make up of the minerals. The goal of physical weathering is to expose rock surface to action of chemical weathering.

When a rock is broken down in a way that changes the mineral composition, it is called chemical weathering

chemical weathering

Chemical weathering is the decay of rocks by altering the minerals in a rock.
