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

1. When you have different masses for each sphere, how does the force that the larger mass sphere exerts on the smaller mass sph
aleksandrvk [35]

1) The forces are equal (Newton's third law of motion)

2) The force between the spheres will quadruple

3) The force of gravity exerted by the notebook on you is negligible

Explanation:

1)

In this part of the problem, we want to compare the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

We can do this by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force (called </em><em>action</em><em>) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called </em><em>reaction</em><em>) on object A"</em>

In this problem, we can identify the larger mass sphere as object A and the smaller mass sphere as object B. This law tells us that the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere is equal to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

2)

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the two spheres is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two spheres

r is the separation between the two spheres

In this problem, we are asked to find what happens when the distance between the spheres is halved, therefore when the new distance is

r'=\frac{r}{2}

Substituting into the equation, we find

F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r'^2}=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(r/2)^2}=4(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=4F

So, the force between the two spheres will quadruple.

3)

We can give an estimate for the gravitational force exerted by your notebook on you.

As we said, the magnitude of the gravitational force is

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

Where:

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

Let's estimate the following:

m_1 = 60 kg is your mass

m_2 = 2 kg is the mass of the notebook

r=1 m, assuming the notebook is at 1 metre from you

Substituting,

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(60)(2)}{1^2}=8.0\cdot 10^{-9} N

We see that this force has an extremely small value: therefore, it is almost negligible in daily life, where other much stronger forces act on you.

poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does​
Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
