Answer:

v = rw

Explanation:

When an object is rolling continuously without slipping, then every angle it rotates through, is equal to a distance the perimeter has rotated.

If the object completes 10 revolutions and takes a particular time, let's say t to complete it. The angular distance would then be 20 π rad, while its angular velocity will be 20 π/t

The circumference will somehow translate to the distance it covers, which is 20πr, this means that the speed is 20πr/t

So, like the question asked, the linear speed compared to angular speed is

v : w

20πr/t : 20πt, which can be simplified to

r : 1

In essence, v = rw

What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 50.0 kg and a velocity of 18 m/s? A.450 J B.900 J C.8,100 J D.16,000

Svet_ta [14]

KE = (1/2)·(mass)·(speed)²

KE = (1/2)·(50 kg)·(18 m/s)²

KE = (25 kg)·(324 m²/s²)

KE = 8,100 kg-m²/s²

KE = 8,100 Joules

Flura [38]

The given data is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 84 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.36. Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. (why does the car's mass not matter?)

Explanation:

Let us assume that v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity of the car. Let s be the skid marks and $\mu$ be the friction coefficient and m be the mass of car.
