Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

Answer:

   t = 0.24 s

Explanation:

As seen in the attached diagram, we are going to use dynamics to resolve the problem, so we will be using the equations for the translation and the rotation dyamics:

Translation:  ΣF = ma

Rotation:      ΣM = Iα ; where α = angular acceleration

Because the angular acceleration is equal to the linear acceleration divided by the radius, the rotation equation also can be represented like:

                    ΣM = I(a/R)

Now we are going to resolve and combine these equations.

For translation:     Fx - Ffr = ma

We know that Fx = mgSin27°, so we substitute:

         (1)                 mgSin27° - Ffr = ma  

For rotation:         (Ffr)(R) = (2/3mR²)(a/R)

The radius cancel each other:

        (2)                Ffr = 2/3 ma

We substitute equation (2) in equation (1):

                            mgSin27° - 2/3 ma = ma

                            mgSin27° = ma + 2/3 ma

The mass gets cancelled:

                            gSin27° = 5/3 a

                            a = (3/5)(gSin27°)

                            a = (3/5)(9.8 m/s²(Sin27°))

                            a = 2.67 m/s²

If we assume that the acceleration is a constant we can use the next equation to find the velocity:

                           V = √2ad; where  d = 0.327m

                           V = √2(2.67 m/s²)(0.327m)

                            V = 1.32 m/s

Because V = d/t

                             t = d/V

                             t = 0.327m/1.32 m/s

                             t = 0.24 s

Discuss why the article says the fact that we’re in our universe complicates our understanding of the expansion of the universe.
MArishka [77]
<span>Because of our perception of the universe from inside the universe, we are unable to see how and towards what the universe is expanding. Also, our understanding of it is further complicated because we are moving as part of the expansion, thus distorting our perception of it.</span>
