Two wheels initially at rest roll the same distance without slipping down identical planes. Wheel B has twice the radius, but th

e same mass as wheel A. All the mass is concentrated in their rims so that the rotational inertias are I = mR2. Which has more translational kinetic energy when it gets to the bottom?

Answer:

Their translational kinetic energies are the same

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula:

KE = 0.5 mv^2

Where m = the mass of the object and

v = the linear speed of the object

From the question, it is stated that wheel A has the same mass as wheel B, that is m_A = m_B

Linear speed is also a function of the distance covered. Since both wheels cover the same distance within the same interval, we can conclude that v_A = v_B

Both wheels A and B have equal speed and mass, this means that their translational kinetic energy is the same.

Note that translational kinetic energy is not a function of the radius

Some birds migrate 20,000 miles. If 1 mile equals 1.6 kilometers, calculate the distance these birds fly in kilometers.
faust18 [17]
Set up a proportion

1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x

Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.
klio [65]
The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
c=f \lambda
where
f is the frequency
\lambda is the wavelength
c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}, so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}=  2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m

A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.
Anna11 [10]
Taking the copper wire, he has to wind it around the nail made of iron. After which, he then connect both ends of the copper wire to the battery, so an electric charge travels through the wire. This is the basic electromagnet. Since a current is now flowing through the wire, a magnetic field is produced. Placing the electromagnet near the mixture of copper and iron, the magnet should attract the pieces of iron, as iron is more magnetic compared to copper. This is done over a period of time, so that only the copper pieces are left in the mixture.
