A 1250 kg car is pulling a 325 kb trailer. The car and trailer have an acceleration of 2,15m/sec2 together. Determine the net fo
1 answer:
To solve this problem we will apply the definition of Newton's second law, which says that force is equivalent to body mass by acceleration. In this case the mass of the trailer is 325Kg and its acceleration is , so we will proceed to replace and multiply these values to find the net force on this object.
F= 698.75N
Under the reference system in which the direction of travel is the positive direction, the direction of the force will be positive.

Answer:
Linear and rotational Kinetic Energy + Gravitational potential energy
Explanation:
The ball rolls off a tall roof and starts falling.
Let us first consider the potential energy or more specifically gravitational potential energy (;
= mass of the ball,
= acceleration due to gravity,
= height of the roof). This energy comes because someone or something had to do work to take the ball to the top of the roof against the force of gravity. The potential energy is naturally maximum at the top and minimum when the ball finally reaches the ground.
Now, the ball starts to roll and falls off the roof. It shall continue rotating because of inertia (Newton's first law). This contributes to the rotational kinetic energy (;
=moment of inertia of the ball &
= angular velocity).
Finally comes the linear kinetic energy or simply, kinetic energy () which is caused due to the velocity
of the ball.
