Meghan and Rachel each have bowling balls with the same mass. They both roll them as hard as they can and then measure the speed

of each ball. Meghan rolls her ball exactly half as fast as Rachel. How do the forces the two girls applied to their balls differ? A) Rachel used half the force that Meghan did. B) Rachel used twice the force that Meghan did. C) Meghan used twice the force that Rachel did. D) Without knowing the mass of the balls, we can not say.

consider the motion of bowling ball rolled by megan :

v₀ = initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the ball

a = acceleration of the ball

t = time of travel

using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

v = 0 + a t

a = v/t                                                            eq-1


consider the motion of bowling ball rolled by rachel :

v₀ = initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

v' = final velocity of the ball

a' = acceleration of the ball

t = time of travel

using the kinematics equation

v' = v'₀ + a' t

v' = 0 + a' t

a' = v' /t                                                    eq-2

dividing eq-1 by eq-2

a/a' = (v/t)/(v'/t)

a/a' = v /v'

Given that : v = v'/2

hence

a/a' = (v'/2) /v'

a/a' = 1/2

ma / ma' = 1/2

F/F' = 1/2

F = F'/2

hence Rachel used twice the force that Meghan did

so correct choice is B)

In what setting do all frequencies of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed?
Irina-Kira [14]
All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum (space) at the speed of light (3 * 10^8 m/s). Radio waves is just a member of the electromagnetic spectrum. All electromagnetic waves follow the wave equation: speed = frequency * wavelength. With all electromagnetic waves, the speed in space is the same.

Which form of the law of conservation of energy describes the motion of the block as it slides on the floor from the bottom of t
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let assume begins movement at zero point, that is, height is equal to zero. The block has an initial linear kinetic energy and no gravitational potential energy and end with no linear kinetic energy, some gravitational potential energy and work losses due to slide friction. In mathematical terms, this system can be model as follows:

K_{1} = U_{2} + W_{loss, 1 \longrightarrow 2}

Where K, U, W are linear kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and work, respectively.
