Answer:
(a) 1 : 2
(b) same
Explanation:
Let the mass of puck A is m and the mass of puck B is 2 m.
initial speed for both the pucks is same as u and the distance is same for both is s.
let the tension is T for same.
The kinetic energy is given by
(a) As the speed is same, so the kinetic energy depends on the mass.
So, kinetic energy of A : Kinetic energy of B = m : 2m = 1 : 2
(b) A the distance s same so the final velocities are also same.
Answer
a) Using dimensional analysis we cannot derive the relation, But we can check the correctness of the formula.
now, L H S
s = distance
dimension of distance = [M⁰L¹T⁰]
now, equation on the right hand side
R H S
u = speed
u = m/s
Dimension of speed = [M⁰L¹T⁻¹]
dimension of time
t = sec
Dimension of time = [M⁰L⁰T¹]
Dimension of 'ut' = [M⁰L¹T⁻¹][M⁰L⁰T¹]
= [M⁰L¹T⁰]
now, acceleration= a
a = m /s²
dimension of acceleration = [M⁰L¹T⁻²]
dimension of (at²) = [M⁰L¹T⁻²][M⁰L⁰T¹][M⁰L⁰T¹]
= [M⁰L¹T⁰]
hence, the dimension are balanced.
so, L H S = R H S
b) Moment of inertia of hollow sphere =
Moment of inertia of solid sphere =
we know,
Torque is the force that causes rotation
If the same amount of torque is applied to both spheres the sphere with bigger moment of inertia would have smaller angular velocity.
Thus the solid sphere would accelerate more.
