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

In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?
Triss [41]

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram
bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

v_a = 70 mph

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_a = 350 m

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{350}{31.3}

t = 11.2 s

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}

v_b = 22.35 m/s

now its distance from Bambi is given as

d_b = 590 feet

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m

now the time to hit the other car is

t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}

t_b = 8.05 s

So Car B will hit the Bambi first
