Acarnival merry-go-round has a large disk-shaped platform of mass 120 kg that can rotate about a center axle. a 60-kg student stands at rest at the edge of the platform 4.0 m from its center. the platform is also at rest. the student starts running clockwise around the edge of the platform and attains a speed of 2.0 m/s relative to the ground.
(a) determine the rotational velocity of the platform.
(b) determine the change of kinetic enrgy of the system consisting of the platform and the student.

Which is not a source of noise pollution? a)airplanes b)acid rain c)machines d)cars

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.

Apositive charge moves in the direction of an electric field. which of the following statements are true? check all that apply. check all that apply. 1.the potential energy associated with the charge decreases. 2. the electric field does positive work on the charge. 3. the electric field does negative work on the charge. 4. the potential energy associated with the charge increases. 5. the electric field does not do any work on the charge. 6. the amount of work done on the charge cannot be determined without additional information.
