A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turntable (initially at rest) begins to rotate with its rate of rotation constantly increasing. 1)What is the first event that will occur

The answer to the question is

The ladybug begins to slide

Explanation:

To solve the question we assume that the frictional force of the ladybug and the gentleman bug are the same

Where the  frictional force equals = μ×N = m×g×μ

and the centripetal force is given by m·ω²·r

If we denote the properties of the ladybug as 1 and that of the gentleman bug as 2, we have

m₁×g×μ = m₁·ω²·r₁ ⇒ g×μ = ω²·r₁

and for the gentleman bug we have

m₂×g×μ = m₂·ω²·r₂ ⇒ g×μ = ω²·r₂

But r₁ = 2×r₂

Therefore substituting the values of r₁ =2×r₂ we have

g×μ = ω²·r₁ = g×μ = ω²·2·r₂

Therefore   ω²·r₂ = 0.5×g×μ for the ladybug. That is the ladybug has to overcome half the frictional force experienced by the gentleman bug before it start to slide

The ladybug begins to slide

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.

this means that the temperature of both substances will be equal
