Two identical balls are at rest and side by side at the top of a hill. You let one ball, A, start rolling down the hill. A littl

e later you start the second ball, B, down the hill by giving it a shove. The second ball rolls down the hill along a line parallel to the path of the first ball and passes it. At the instant ball B passes ball A:
a. it has the same position and the same velocity as A.b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A.c. it has the same velocity and the same acceleration as A.d. it has the same displacement and the same velocity as A.e. it has the same position, displacement and velocity as A.

Answer:

Option b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

Explanation:

Let's analyze every statement:

a. it has the same position and the same velocity as A

In the instant where B passes A, they Do have the same position. Velocity however, cannot be the same because if they were, ball B would never pass ball A. So, this is false.

b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

As we said in the previous option, the position is the same. The acceleration is gravity for both balls, so this is true.

c. it has the same velocity and the same acceleration as A

Acceleration is the same but velocities are not, so this is false.

d. it has the same displacement and the same velocity as A

The distance they have traveled is the same, so the displacement is the same, but the velocity is not, so this is false.

e. it has the same position, displacement and velocity as A

The position and displacement is the same but not velocity, so this is false.

Only option b is true.

A Ferris wheel on a California pier is 27 m high and rotates once every 32 seconds in the counterclockwise direction. When the w

A) 140 degrees

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the Ferris wheel. We know that its period is

T = 32 s

So the angular velocity is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{32 s}=0.20 rad/s

Assuming the wheel is moving at constant angular velocity, we can now calculate the angular displacement with respect to the initial position:

\theta= \omega t

and substituting t = 75 seconds, we find

\theta= (0.20 rad/s)(75 s)=15 rad

In degrees, it is

15 rad: x = 2\pi rad : 360^{\circ}\\
x=\frac{(15 rad)(360^{\circ})}{2\pi}=860^{\circ} = 140^{\circ}

So, the new position is 140 degrees from the initial position at the top.

B) 2.7 m/s

The tangential speed, v, of a point at the egde of the wheel is given by

v=\omega r

where we have

\omega=0.20 rad/s

r = d/2 = (27 m)/2=13.5 m is the radius of the wheel

Substituting into the equation, we find

v=(0.20 rad/s)(13.5 m)=2.7 m/s

What is the volume of this bubble when it reaches the surface?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Volume will be 15 mL. Solution:- If we look at the given information then it is Boyle's law as the temperature is constant and the volume changes inversely as the pressure changes. So, the volume of the air bubble at the surface will be 15 mL.

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.
