Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

radius of Pulley is r

Pulley has a moment of inertia is I

Suppose mass is falling with an acceleration a and T be the Tension in string

mg-T=ma

T=m(g-a)

And I\times \alpha =T\times R

I\times \frac{a}{R}=T\times R

I\times \frac{a}{R}=m(g-a)\times R

I=\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}

and Torque is I\alpha

\tau =\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}\times \alpha

\tau =\frac{mR^2(g-a)}{a}\times \frac{a}{R}

\tau =mR(g-a)

Which is less than mgR

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

An object is placed 9.5 cm in front of a convex spherical mirror. Its image forms 3.2 cm behind the mirror. What is the radius o
o-na [289]

Using the mirror formula.

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

1/9.5 + 1/3.2 = 1/f

1/f = 3.2 + 9.5 / 9.5 * 3.2

1/f = 4.82 cm

Radius = 2f

Radius = 2 x 4.82

Radius = 9.64 cm

Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.

Explanation:

The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.

Mathematically

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.

If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.
