An object accelerates in a direction that is always perpendicular to its motion.

I think the effect is circular motion. well, the speed may or may not change. the direction of acceleration is always tangential to the circular path.

A uniform sphere (I = 2/5 MR 2 ) rolls down an incline. (a) What must be the incline angle if the linear acceleration of the cen

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Part a)

$\theta = 8.05 degree$

Part b)

$a = 1.37 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As the uniform sphere is rolling down the inclined plane then the net force on the sphere is given as

$mg sin\theta - F_f = ma$

also we have torque equation on it

$F_f R = I\alpha$

for pure rolling

$a = R \alpha$

$F_f = \frac{Ia}{R^2}$

now we have

$mg sin\theta = ma + \frac{Ia}{R^2}$

now we have

$mg sin\theta = (m + \frac{2}{5}m)a$

$a = \frac{5}{7}g sin\theta$

now given that

$a = 0.10 g$

so we have

$0.10 g = \frac{5}{7} g sin\theta$

$sin\theta = 0.14$

$\theta = 8.05 degree$

Part b)

If the inclined plane is frictionless then the acceleration is given as

$a = g sin\theta$

$a = 9.8(0.14)$

$a = 1.37 m/s^2$

If the particles of an object have more kinetic energy than the particles of an object, what must be true?

son4ous [18]

If the objects comprise a gas, then the first object contains more
thermal energy (heat) than the second object.

If the objects are solid, then you can't draw any conclusion unless
both objects have the same total mass. If that's the case, then the
first object must be moving faster than the second one.

Grains of fine california beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of 50 μm and are made of silicon dioxide,

kykrilka [37]

The average radius(r) of each grain is r = 50 nanometers = 50*10^-6 meters

Since it is spherical, so

Volume=(4/3)*pi*r^3

V= (4/3)*pi*(50*10^-6)^3

V=5.23599*10^-13 m^3

We are given the Density(ρ) =2600kg/m^3

We know that:

Density(p) = mass(m)/volume(V)

m = ρV

So the mass of a single grain is:

m = 5.23599*10^-13 * 2600 = 1.361357*10^-9 kg

The surface area of a grain is:

a = 4*pi*r^2

a = 4*pi*(50*10^-6)^2

a = 3.14*10^-8 m^2

Since we know the surface area and mass of a grain, the conversion factor is:

1.361357*10^-9 kg / 3.14*10^-8 m^2

Find the Surface area of the cube:

cube = 6a^2

cube = 6*1.1^2 = 7.26m^2

multiply this by the converions ratio to get:

total mass of sand grains = (7.26 m^2 * 1.361357*10^-9 kg) / (3.14*10^-8 m^2)

total mass of sand grains = 0.3148 kg = 314.80 g
