Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?

Physics
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago
5 0
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

Explain why airplane pilots should know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight
Lapatulllka [165]
Air speed is how fast you are peddling over the ground, wind speed is how fast the wind is blowing above the ground.Depending on the correlation between the two with direction thrown the pilot knows what sort of resistance he is flying against.

Block B is attached to a massless string of length L = 1 m and is free to rotate as a pendulum. The speed of block A after the c
Amanda [17]

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The minimum velocity of A is  v_A= 4m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length of the string is  L = 1m

     The initial speed of block A is u_A

     The final speed of block A is  v_A = \frac{1}{2}u_A

      The initial speed of block B is u_B = 0

      The mass of block A  is  m_A = 7kg  gh

      The mass of block B is  m_B  = 2 kg

According to the principle of conservation of momentum

       m_A u_A + m_B u_B = m_Bv_B + m_A \frac{u_A}{2}

Since block B at initial is at rest

       m_A u_A  = m_Bv_B + m_A \frac{u_A}{2}

      m_A u_A  - m_A \frac{u_A}{2} = m_Bv_B

          m_A \frac{u_A}{2} = m_Bv_B

  making v_B the subject of the formula

             v_B =m_A \frac{u_A}{2 m_B}

Substituting values

               v_B =\frac{7 u_A}{4}  

This v__B is the velocity at bottom of the vertical circle just at the collision with mass A

Assuming that block B is swing through the vertical circle(shown on the second uploaded image ) with an angular velocity  of v__B' at  the top of the vertical circle  

 The angular centripetal acceleration  would be mathematically represented

                   a= \frac{v^2_{B}'}{L}

Note that  this acceleration would be toward the center of the circle

      Now the forces acting at the top of the circle can be represented mathematically as

         T + mg = m \frac{v^2_{B}'}{L}

    Where T is the tension on the string

  According to the law of energy conservation

The energy at  bottom of the vertical circle   =  The energy at the top of

                                                                                the vertical circle

   This can be mathematically represented as

                 \frac{1}{2} m(v_B)^2 = \frac{1}{2} mv^2_B' + mg 2L

From above  

                (T + mg) L = m v^2_{B}'

Substitute this into above equation

             \frac{1}{2} m(\frac{7 v_A}{4} )^2 = \frac{1}{2} (T + mg) L  + mg 2L  

             \frac{49 mv_A^2}{16}  = \frac{1}{2} (T + mg) L + mg 2L

          \frac{49 mv_A^2}{16}  = T + 5mgL

The  value of velocity of block A needed to cause B be to swing through a complete vertical circle is would be minimum when tension on the string due to the weight of B is  zero

        This is mathematically represented as

                      \frac{49 mv_A^2}{16}  = 5mgL

making  v_A the subject

            v_A = \sqrt{\frac{80mgL}{49m} }

substituting values

          v_A = \sqrt{\frac{80* 9.8 *1}{49} }

              v_A= 4m/s
