Answer:
(a): a = 0.4m/s²
(b): α = 8 radians/s²
Explanation:
First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):
a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t
a: linear acceleration.
Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.
Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).
d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m
d: distance of the ramp (5m).
We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:
d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s
And the linear acceleration will be:
a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²
Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:
perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m
To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:
α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²
α: angular aceleration.
Answer:
(a) P = 459.055 N.
(b) the refrigerator tips.
Explanation:
Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.
When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).
⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).
⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N
so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.
so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N
And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.
Answer:
Newton believed that mass tells gravity how much force to exert. Einstein believed that mass tells space-time how to curve.
Explanation:
Isaac Newton believed that bodies on earth had a force of gravity pulling them down as a result of their masses.
Albert Einstein believed that the bodies were not pulled down but were moving around in a circular sphere/manner.
This confirms Newton believing that mass tells gravity how much force to exert and Einstein believing that mass tells space-time how to curve.
