Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on the potatoes is given by:

F= 52 - mgSintheta

F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)

F = 52 -18.4

F= 33.58N

Using Newton's 2nd law

F = ma

a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2

Using the equation of motion:

V^2= u^2 + 2as

V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2

V^2 = 67.16

V=sqrt(68.16)

V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes

Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2

KE = 67.16J

Answer:

B. decreases while his angular speed remains  unchanged.

Explanation:

His angular speed will always be the same as the wheel's angular speed, which remains constant as it's in uniform motion. As for linear speed, which is defined as the product of angular speed and distance r to the center of rotation, and his distance to center is decreasing, his linear speed must be decreasing as well.
