A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The angular speed of the child has a constant value of 0.233 rad/s. At the instant the child spots the horse, one-quarter of a turn away, the merry-go-round begins to move (in the direction the child is running) with a constant angular acceleration of 0.0136 rad/s2. What is the shortest time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse?

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child:

For the horse:

For the child to catch up with the horse, they must cover the same angular distance within the same time t:

t = 25.05 or t = 9.22

Since we are looking for the shortest time we will pick t = 9.22 s

hail is a solid form of precipitation composed of large, layered ice particles called pellets that often have spherical shapes. this phenomenon occurs during thunderstorms in the could type known as cumulus

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
