Andrea and chuck are riding on a merry-go-round. andrea rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far from the center of the circular platform as chuck, who rides on an inner horse. when the merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed, andrea's tangential speed is which of the following? a) twice chuck's b) the same as chuck's c) half of chuck's d) impossible to determine b. when the merry go round is rotating at a constant angular speed, andrea's tangential speed is a) twice chuck's b) the same as chuck's

a) Twice Chuck's

Explanation:

If the angular speed is constant, as the merry - go -round is a rigid body, so the distance between two points must remain the same, it is needed that the points farther the center, move faster than the ones closer to it.

There exists a relationship between tangential and angular speed, as follows, that relates the definitions of linear and angular speed, and the angle definition:

angle = arc / radius ⇒ Δθ/Δt = Δs/Δt / r ⇒ ω = v/r ⇒ v = ω. r

If ω is constant, v is directly proportional to r, distance to the center (radius in a circular platform), so if r is twice for Andrea, her tangential speed must be twice Chuck's.

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

it would be kevlar ^^
