Answer:

We know that potential energy is the energy that is stored within an object while kinetic energy is the energy that is in motion. The connection between the two is that potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.

A solid cylinder with a mass of 2.72 kg and a radius of 0.083 m starts from rest at a height of 4.20 m and rolls down a 88.7 ◦ s

Bingel [31]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

Potential energy = kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}$

I = $\frac{mr^{2}}{2}$

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$

$mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]$

mgh = $[\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]$

$g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

$9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.

A wrench 0.500 m long is applied to a nut with a force of 80.0 N. Because of the cramped space, the force must be exerted upward

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Torque, $\tau=34.6\ N.m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.5 m

Force acting on the wrench, F = 80 N

The force is acting upward at an angle of 60.0° with respect to a line from the bolt through the end of the wrench. We need to find the torque is applied to the nut. We know that torque acting on an object is equal to the cross product of force and distance. It is given by :

$\tau=Fr\ sin\theta$
