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 rad/s2. The child is standing 4.65 m from the center of the merry-go-round. What is the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the child?

Respuesta :

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be [tex]8.05m/sec^2[/tex]

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child [tex]\omega =1.25rad/sec[/tex]

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration [tex]\alpha =0.745rad/sec^2[/tex]

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

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

Tangential acceleration is given by

[tex]a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^[/tex]

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

The magnitude of the linear acceleration of the child is mathematically given as

a=8.05m/sec^2

The magnitude of the linear acceleration

Question Parameters:

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 rad/s2.

Generally the equation for the linear velocity  is mathematically given as

v=wr

Therefore

v=1.25*4.65

v=5.815

radial acceleration is given by

a=v^2/r

Hence

a=5.815/4.65

a=7.2718

Tangential acceleration is

a_t=\alpha r

a_t=0.745*4.65

a_t=3.464m/sec

Hence, total acceleration will be

[tex]a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}[/tex]

a=8.05m/sec^2
