False, it's due to the absence of gravity.

Answer:

Part a)

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{5} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10}(\frac{42}{9.81})(5.10^2)$

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

By mechanical energy conservation law we know that

Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere

So we will have

$mgLsin\theta = KE$

$\frac{42}{9.81}(9.81)L sin36 = 77.95$

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

by equation of energy conservation we know that

$\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgL sin\theta$

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Match the type of boundary with it's characteristic

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Transform= not destroyed or created

Divergent= crust created

Convergent= crust destroyed

Explanation:

The plates move in the opposite or away from each other at a transforming plate boundary. The two platform borders are not produced or destroyed in this case. As both plates converge on each other and thus destroy the plates for converging plate boundaries. When the plate is divergent, both plates shift away from each other by opening up and solidification for a new crust.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

C. you're able to reverse out of the parking spot

Explanation:

Straight-in parking is an approach of parking that allows a more flexible traffic layout where a driver can approach the spot from either direction and still safely park within the lines. It thus helps to prevent blockage of cars. Each car can move in and out freely preventing it from congestion.

This way of parking can leave you safe when you able to reverse out of the parking spot. It gives you greater control and makes it easier to maneuver out space. The benefits of Straight-in parking are,

- Allows for two-way traffic

- Drivers can line up the vehicle from multiple angles

- Saves time for drivers
