Answer: The correct answer is force of gravity.

Explanation:

Gravity is the force with which one body attracts the other body.

It goes down a hill with the increase in the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is due to the motion of a wagon.

At the hill the gravity is lesser in comparison to the gravity on the surface of the earth.

When a wagon rolls down a hill it speeds up. Here, the earth attracts the wagon with the force of gravity. It accelerates down a hill with an acceleration due to gravity.

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left

Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux. It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.

g A bowling ball with a mass of 3.86 kg and a radius of 0.161 m starts from rest at a height of 2.5 m and rolls down a 48.4 o sl

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

$v=1.5m/s$

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy gets transformed into translational and rotational kinetic energy, so we can write $mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{I\omega^2}{2}$ . Since $v=r\omega$ (the ball rolls without slipping) and for a solid sphere $I=\frac{2mr^2}{5}$ , we have:

$mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{2mr^2\omega^2}{2*5}=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{5}=\frac{7mv^2}{10}$

So our translational speed will be:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{10gh}{7}}=\sqrt{\frac{10(9.8m/s^2)(0.161m)}{7}}=1.5m/s$
