If it is very steep and you throw a little rock down it will be more likely to make all the rocks fall easier than a gently sloped hill that if you throw the same size rock down it would move nothing but little rocks.

You are designing a system for moving aluminum cylinders from the ground to a loading dock. You use a sturdy wooden ramp that is
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a = αR

Then We apply the Newton's second law of motion:

∑ F = ma

F - mg sinθ - f = ma.

F - mg sinθ - μmg cosθ = ma

Using given data we have:

F - 3217 = 470a ........................... (1)

Apply the Newton's law for rotation:

∑τ = I α

FR - (mg sinθ)R = (\frac{mR^2}{2}+mR^2)\frac{a}{R}

then: F - mg sinθ = 3ma / 2.

F - 2774 = 705a .......................... (2)

solving 1 and 2 we get:

F = 4103 N

a = 1.885 m/s²

b) In this case the time is given by:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}} it comes from: d = v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2 starting from rest vo = 0

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*9}{1.885} = 3.09 s

What is the volume of an object with a mass of 15 grams and a density<br> of 2 g/ml
OleMash [197]

Answer: 7.5 ml

Explanation: Density= mass/ volume.

So, volume = mass / density

                    = 15g / 2 g/ml

                    = 7.5 ml

A 1.20 kg solid ball of radius 40 cm rolls down a 5.20 m long incline of 25 degrees. Ignoring any loss due to friction, how fast
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

1.6s

Explanation:

Given that A 1.20 kg solid ball of radius 40 cm rolls down a 5.20 m long incline of 25 degrees. Ignoring any loss due to friction,

To know how fast the ball will roll when it reaches the bottom of the incline, we need to calculate the acceleration at which it is rolling.

Since the frictional force is negligible, at the top of the incline plane, the potential energy = mgh

Where h = 5.2sin25

h = 2.2 m

P.E = 1.2 × 9.8 × 2.2

P.E = 25.84 j

At the bottom, K.E = P.E

1/2mv^2 = 25.84

Substitutes mass into the formula

1.2 × V^2 = 51.69

V^2 = 51.69/1.2

V^2 = 43.07

V = 6.56 m/s

Using the third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

Since the object started from rest,

U = 0

6.56^2 = 2 × a × 5.2

43.07 = 10.4a

a = 43.07/10.4

a = 4.14 m/s^2

Using the first equation of motion,

V = U + at

Where U = 0

6.56 = 4.14t

t = 6.56/4.14

t = 1.58s

Therefore, the time the ball rolls when it reaches the bottom of the incline is approximately 1.6s
