A ball is rolling along at speed v without slipping on a horizontal surface when it comes to a hill that rises at a constant ang

le above the horizontal. In which case will it go higher up the hill: if the hill has enough friction to prevent slipping, or if the hill is perfectly smooth. Justify your answer with a conservation of energy statement

Answer:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

Explanation:

The ball has an initial linear kinetic energy and initial rotational kinetic energy which can both be converted into gravitational potential energy. Therefore the hill with friction will let the ball reach higher.

This is because:

If we consider the ball initially at rest on a frictionless surface and a force is exerted through the centre of mass of the ball, it will slide across the surface with no rotation, and thus, there will only be translational motion.

Now, if there is friction and force is again applied to the stationary ball, the frictional force will act in the opposite direction to the force but at the edge of the ball that rests on the ground. This friction generates a torque on the ball which starts the rotation.

Therefore, static friction is infact necessary for a ball to begin rolling.

Now, from the top of the ball, it will move at a speed 2v, while the centre of mass of the ball will move at a speed v and lastly, the bottom edge of the ball will instantaneously be at rest. So as the edge touching the ground is stationary, it experiences no friction.

So friction is necessary for a ball to start rolling but once the rolling condition has been met the ball experiences no friction.

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant
Elena L [17]

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}

a=\frac{11-7}{8}

a=\frac{4}{8}

a=0.5 m/s^{2}

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}

0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}

v_{3}=19 m/s
