Answer:

c) The distance between the balls increases.

Explanation:

If you drop the balls at the same time, regardless of their masses they accelerate equally, since they will be in free fall.

However, if you drop one of the balls earlier, then that ball will gain velocity, whereas the second ball has zero initial velocity. At the time the second ball is dropped, both balls have the same acceleration but different initial velocities.

According to the below kinematics equation:

x = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The initial velocity of the first ball will make the difference, and the first ball will travel a greater distance than the second ball. Hence, their distance increases.

Water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Ang prinsipyo ay nagsasaad na ang enerhiya ay hindi maaaring malikha o masira, ngunit maaari lamang ma-convert mula sa isang anyo patungo sa isa pa. Ang tubig sa tuktok ng napakataas na talon ay nagtataglay ng gravitational potential energy. Habang bumabagsak ang tubig, ang enerhiya na ito ay na-convert sa kinetic energy, na nagreresulta sa isang daloy sa isang mataas na bilis.

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the moment of inertia.

The given values can be defined as,

M = 1.0 kg

r = 0.5 m

m = 10 g

I = 0.280 kg.m^2

According to the definition of the moment of inertia applied to the exercise we can arrive at the equation that,

I = I_{rim} + n * I_{spoke}

Where n is the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel.

I_{rim} = M*r^2 = 1.0 * 0.5^2

I_{spoke} = \frac{1}{3} * m * r^2 = \frac{1}{3}* 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2

Replacing the values at the general equation we have,

0.280 = 1.0 * 0.5^2 + n * (1/3 * 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2 )

Solving for n,

n = 36

Therefore the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel is 36

PART B) The mass of the wheel is given by the sum of all masses and the total spokes, then

M_w= M + n*m

M_w = 1.0 + 36* 10 * 10^{-3} Kg

M_w = 1.36 Kg

Therefore the mass of the wheel must be of 1.36Kg
