    What's the source of increase in rotational energy of carousel?

    But in this case, the persons and the carousel is perceived as one object. And in the calculations the object's rotational kinetic energy increases. The rotational inertia when the persons stand at the edge is different (is higher) from the rotational inertia when the persons stand at the...

    What's the source of increase in rotational energy of carousel?

    Her arms would move outwards. It requires force to move things inwards in a rotating object. Slipping things move them outwards. So isn't that some sort of potential energy when you keep things at the centrum in a rotating object?

    What's the source of increase in rotational energy of carousel?

    Maybe you meant the angular velocity (as angular momentum is conserved). As I understand, because of Coriolis effect, moving inwards on the carousel makes it look like it's moving into the same direction as the rotation, hence increases the speed and energy of the rotation. And again because of...

    What's the source of increase in rotational energy of carousel?

    A carousel has the shape of a circular disc with radius 1.80 m and a mass of 300 kg. There are two people with masses of 30 and 45 kg out on the edge while carousel rotates with the angular speed 0.6 rad / s. The people move towards the center of the carousel Calculations show that the...

    Why it doesn't sum to one in this simple naive Bayes classification?

    Summary:: When we have only three classes (Orange, Banana and Other) and three features (Long, Sweet and Yellow), why P(Other|Long, Sweet, Yellow) + P(Banana|Long, Sweet, Yellow) is not equal to 1 when P(Orange|Long, Sweet, Yellow) = 0 ? In this example...

    I What's the proof that R2 /(R+h) = (1 – 2h/R)

    Hi, On this link: https://physicsteacher.in/2020/07/11/the-formula-for-acceleration-due-to-gravity-at-height-h-with-derivation/ They prove the formula for acceleration due to gravity at height h, which is: g1 = g (1 – 2h/R). There are similar articles online. When they go through the last...

    Writing a result from a table and how many digits should the answer have?

    So we should write that way: (Mean ± (σ/√n)) ? σ: standard deviation n: number if samples Maybe ½(max - min) used in the high school book to keep it simple and easy for that level.

    Relativistic calculation of speed when the momentum is known

    p = mv/√(1 - v^2/c^2) p = mv/√(1 - v^2/c^2) divide by m, and multiply by √(1 - v^2/c^2) v = p/m * √(1 - v^2/c^2) ^2 both sides v^2 = p^2/m^2 * (1 - v^2/c^2) = p^2/m^2 - (p^2*v^2)/(c^2*m^2) making some changes on the right side so both have same divsor: v^2 = (p^2*c^2)/(m^2*c^2) -...

    Relativistic calculation of speed when the momentum is known

    Homework Statement We know the momentum of an electron, which is: 1,48*10^-21. Momentum is m*v (mass*speed) If we divide the momentum by the mass of the electron to find electron's speed, it'll give a value where v> 3*10^8 m/s. Since speed can't be above speed of light, we have to calculate...

    Writing a result from a table and how many digits should the answer have?

    So when writing (A ± c), the A is the "mean", and c is the standard deviation. This is what's shown as "solution to a physics problem" to a website of a high-school physics book. I and F are taken from a table, B values are calculated (length of the conductor is 0.0500 m). They first find...

    Writing a result from a table and how many digits should the answer have?

    The means is: (0,055 + 0,06 + 0,0625 + 0,062 + 0,056666667 + 0,062857143) / 6 = 0.0598373 ≈ 0.060 B = (60 ± c) mT But how then do I put the correct number as in c? The correct way is to put the standard deviation as c? Half the difference between max and min is: (0.062857143 - 0.055) / 2 ≈...

    Writing a result from a table and how many digits should the answer have?

    Homework Statement [/B] A 0.02 meters long conductor is placed perpendicular in a homogen magnetic field. Current through the conductor is changed. And we have measured the data here: How can we write the magnetic flux density the correct way? How do I know how many digits my answer should...

    B A couple of questions about photons and superposition..

    There are two polarization filters, A and B. Polarization filter A has angle of 0° and B has an angle of 30°. A photon is in superposition, so it doesn't have a definite polarization axis. The likelihood it's passing through a filter is depend on the difference between angle of the...

    Calculating the frictional forces on a sliding box on a ramp

    Homework Statement We kick a box upwards a ramp. The box slides upwards, then slides backwards again. We ignore the air drag and other factors. We only look at the gravity, normal forces and friction forces. Forces on the box when it's moving upwards: Weight of the box is 0.123 KGs. Angle...

    B What's the difference between 1000e^0.05t and 1000*1.05^t?

    So the formula f(x) means yearly interest of n is compounded once a year. But if banks did use g(x), that would mean the yearly interest of n is compounded far more frequently?
