Two children standing on opposite sides of a merry-go-round are trying to rotate it. They each push in opposite directions with forces of magnitude 11.5 N. (a) If the merry-go-round has a mass of 171 kg and a radius of 1.54 m, what is the angular acceleration of the merry-go-round? (Assume the merry-go-round is a uniform disk.) rad/s2
A child sits on a merry-go-round that has a diameter of 6.00 m. The child uses her legs to push the merry-go-round, making it go from rest to an angular speed of 15.0 rpm in a time of 37.0 s. What is the average angular acceleration aavg of the merry-go-round in units of radians per second squared (rad/s2)? avg0.042 rad/s2 What is the angular displacement Δθ of the merry-go-round, in units of radians (rad), during the time the child pushes...
5. A 3.0 m diameter merry-go-round (mass 200 kg) is spinning at 10 rpm. A child of 30.0 kg runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 2.0 m/s, in the opposite direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. Calculate the merry-go-round's angular velocity, immediately after the child jumps on.
A merry-go-round is a common piece of playground equipment. A 2.8-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 260 kg is spinning at 22 rpm. John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 5.0 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John's mass is 39 kg. What is the merry-go-round's angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?
A child sits on a merry‑go‑round that has a diameter of 5.00 m. The child uses her legs to push the merry‑go‑round, making it go from rest to an angular speed of 20.0 rpm in a time of 44.0 s. PART 1 What is the average angular acceleration ?avg of the merry‑go‑round in units of radians per second squared (rad/s2)? PART 2 What is the angular displacement Δ? of the merry‑go‑round, in units of radians (rad), during the time the...
A child sits on a merry‑go‑round that has a diameter of 4.00 m. The child uses her legs to push the merry‑go‑round, making it go from rest to an angular speed of 19.0 rpm in a time of 47.0 s. What is the average angular acceleration ?avg of the merry‑go‑round in units of radians per second squared (rad/s2)? ?avg= What is the angular displacement Δ? of the merry‑go‑round, in units of radians (rad), during the time the child pushes the...
Again, looking down from a stationary tree branch, a merry-go-round with a 1 meter radius spins in a counter-clockwise direction with an angular velocity of 1 radian per second. From your viewpoint, a bird of mass 0.2kg flies in a straight line over the axis of the merry-go-round at a uniform speed of 2m/s. Consider three instants: when the bird first crosses the outer edge of the merry-go-round; when the bird crosses the center of the merry-go-round; and, finally, when...
a merry-go-round in the park has a radius of 2.5 m and rotational inertia of 1000 kg*m^2. a child pushes the merry-go-round with a constant force of 50 N applied at a point tangent to the edge. a frictional torque of 12 N*m acts at the axle of the merry-go-round. what is the rotational acceleration of the merry-go-round while the child is pushing? at this rate, what will the rotational velocity of the merry-go-round be after 12 s if it...
A merry-go-round with moment of inertia 400 kg-m^2 and radius 2.0m is rotating with angular speed 0.50 rad/s in the clockwise direction about a fixed axis. A child of mass 40 kg runs tangentially to the merry-go-round with speed 3.0m/s and grabs onto the outside edge of the merry-go-round. a. What is the final angular velocity of the system (merry-go-round plus child)/ What is the final tangential speed of the child? b. What is the change in kinetic energy? c....
equipment. A 3.0-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 300 kg is spinning at 15 rpm . John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 4.8 m/s , in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John's mass is 30 kg. Part A: What is the merry-go-round's angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?
