F=mg

The force of gravity is the force with which the earth or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself. This is the weight of the object. All objects upon earth experience a force of gravity that is directed "downward" towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity on earth is always equal to the weight of the object as found by the equation F=mg.

Using geometrical arguments, we can see that the angle of the inclined plane $\theta$ is equal to the angle between Fg and the perpendicular force.

But the perpendicular force is the projection of Fg along the perpendicular axis, and Fg=mg, so the correct answer is
C) F=mg cosΘ

Two automobiles are 150 kilometers apart and traveling toward each other. One automobile

Vladimir79 [104]

Their relative speed is the sum of 60 and 40 or 100km/hr. They will travel the 150km in 1.5 hrs. When two object approach each other, the closing speed is just the sum of the speeds, therefore, the closing speed is your case is 100kph. So they will meet in 1.5 hours.

What is the distance from axis about which a uniform, balsa-wood sphere will have the same moment of inertia as does a thin-wall

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$D_{s}$ ≈ 2.1 R

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation

I = ∫ r² dm

For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass

Sphere $Is_{cm}$ = 2/5 M R²

Spherical shell $Ic_{cm}$ = 2/3 M R²

The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass

I = $I_{cm}$ + M D²

Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation

Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter

D = 2R

Ic = $Ic_{cm}$ + M D²

Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²

Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)

Ic = 14/3 M R²

The sphere

Is = $Is_{cm}$ + M [ $D_{s}$ ²

Is = Ic

2/5 MR² + M $D_{s}$ ² = 14/3 MR²

$D_{s}$ ² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)

$D_{s}$ = √ (R² (64/15)

$D_{s}$ = 2,066 R
