<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. (PE)beginning = (KE)end

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of an object is 72.0 kg
  • Velocity of the body before it hits the ground is 79.0 m/s

We are required to determine the relationship between the potential energy and kinetic energy before the fall.

  • When an object is at the highest point, it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy.
  • This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above the earth's surface.
  • On the other hand, when an object attains the highest speed it has maximum kinetic energy and minimum kinetic energy.

In this case;

  • The velocity of the object when hitting the ground is maximum and thus the object will have maxim,um kinetic energy.
  • As the object falls towards the ground the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
  • Therefore, the potential energy at the beginning will be equal to the kinetic energy at the end when the object is on the ground.
  • We can therefore, conclude that, (PE)beginning = (KE)end

A cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.
