Answer:
Rube Goldberg Machine is "a comically involved, complicated invention, laboriously contrived to preform a simple operation." 2. What are the 6 Simple Machines? A. The 6 Simple Machines are: wedge, screw, lever, wheel and axel, inclined plane and pulley.
I assume that the ball is stationary (v=0) at point B, so its total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to 7.35 J.
At point A, all this energy has converted into kinetic energy, which is:

And since K=7.35 J, we can find the velocity, v:
Answer:
15.4 kg.
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.
Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)
Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s
Substitute into equation 1
7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')
7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')
23.1 = 7.7+m'
m' = 23.1-7.7
m' = 15.4 kg.
Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg
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:

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