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

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."
levacccp [35]
The law that accounts for that exact statement is the law that says that
most people don't understand these things very well.

A better statement is:
<span>"The gravitational forces between the Sun and each planet cause each planet
to move in an elliptical path."<span>

The laws that account for that behavior are:

-- Newton's second law of motion: (Force) = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- Newton's law of universal gravity</span></span>

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color
masya89 [10]
In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the  second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).

Bjorn is holding a tennis ball outside a second floor window (3.5 meters from the ground) and billie jean is holding one outside
MArishka [77]
The answer is 1.01 x 10^(-11) N. I arrived to this answer through calculating the GPEs of both balls. Bjorn's ball has a GPE of 1.402 x 10^(-11) N. Billie Jean's ball has a GPE of <span>2.503 x 10^(-11) N. I subtracted the two and I found that Billie Jean's tennis ball has a GPE of 1.01 x 10^(-11) more than Bjorn's tennis ball.</span>
