Starting from rest, a solid sphere rolls without slipping down an incline plane. At the bottom of the incline, what does the ang

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

Explanation:

Assume:

- The cylinder with mass m

- The radius of cylinder R

- Distance traveled down the slope is s

- The angular speed at bottom of slope w

- The slope of the plane θ

- Frictionless surface.

Solution:

- Using energy principle at top and bottom of the slope. The exchange of gravitational potential energy at height h, and kinetic energy at the bottom of slope.

ΔPE = ΔKE

- The change in gravitational potential energy is given as m*g*h.

- The kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom is given as rotational motion: 0.5*I*w^2

- Where I is the moment of inertia of the cylinder I = 0.5*m*R^2

We have:

m*g*s*sin(θ) = 0.25*m*R^2*w^2

2/R*sqrt (g*s*sin(θ)) = w

- The angular velocity depends on plane geometry θ , distance travelled down slope s, Radius of the cylinder R , and gravitational acceleration g

A wheel with a tire mounted on it rotates at the constant rate of 2.73 revolutions per second. Find the radial acceleration of a

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

110.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the tack from the rotational axis (r) = 37.7 cm

Constant rate of rotation (N) = 2.73 revolutions per second

Now, we know that,

1 revolution = $2\pi$ radians

So, 2.73 revolutions = $2.73\times 2\pi=17.153\ radians$

Therefore, the angular velocity of the tack is, $\omega=17.153\ rad/s$

Now, radial acceleration of the tack is given as:

$a_r=\omega^2 r$

Plug in the given values and solve for $a_r$ . This gives,

$a_r=(17.153\ rad/s)^2\times 37.7\ cm\\a_r=294.225\times 37.7\ cm/s^2\\a_r=11092.28\ cm/s^2\\a_r=110.9\ m/s^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ [1\ cm = 0.01\ m]$

Therefore, the radial acceleration of the tack is 110.9 m/s².

How do physicists use measurements to understand the natural world?? Use scientific language to describe your evidence.

34kurt

Answer:

Measurements are used to describe quantitatively real-life situations

Explanation:

Measurement refers to the act of assigning a number (with a unit) to a characteristic of an object or an event.

For example: when we want to measure the size of an object, we can use a rule to measure its length, and we assign a number with a unit for that quantity (for example, 5 cm). In this case, we have done a measurement.

Measurements are used by scientists in order to understand the natural worlds. In fact, without measurements it would be impossible to describe phenomena of the real world quantitatively: it would be only possible to describe them qualitatively, and therefore it would not be possible for instance to derive mathematical laws that describe those phenomena.

A batter hits a baseball m = 0.41 kg from rest with a force of F = 81

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

7.0s

Explanation:

Mass = 0.41kg

F= 81N

t = 0.22s

¤ = 29°

Lo = 86m

From impulse equation,

F*t = m* v

81 * 0.22 = 0.41 * v

Vo = 17.82 / 0.41

Vo = 43.46m/s

Vx= velocity across horizontal plane

Vy = velocity across vertical plane

Vx = Vo * cos ¤

Vy = Vo * sin ¤

Vx = 43.46 * cos 30° = 37.64 m/s

Vy = 43.46 sin 30° = 21.73 m/s

Distance travelled across the vertical plane,

L = Lo + Vy *t + ½gt²

0 = 86 + 21.73t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 21.73t - 86 = 0

Solving for t in the quadratic equation,

t = 6.96 or -10.04

Using the positive root since time can't be negative, t = 6.96 approximately 7.0s
