Answer:

Will accelerate with g.sinθ, where θ is the angle between the ground and the inclination of the slope.

Explanation:

When any mass is sliding down the inclined plane will be affected by the acceleration due to gravity and some component of this acceleration will act on the body.

Let θ be the angle of inclination of the inclined slope from the horizontal.

then from the attached figure we can clearly get the component of acceleration along the slope.

A bumper cart has a mass of 200 kg and has a protective bumper around it that behaves like a spring. The spring constant is 5000
34kurt
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:

KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J

Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:

F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N

If there are 20 Earthworms in a garden that covers 5 square meters, what is the population density of the earthworms?
hodyreva [135]

I think, I do think.. that it is D.

Wouldn't it be simple to divide 5 from 20, that would equal 4.

4 earthworms per square meter.

Select the situation for which the torque is the smallest.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

e. The torque is the same for all cases.

Explanation:

The formula for torque is:

τ = Fr

where,

τ = Torque

F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg

r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation

Therefore,

τ = mgr

a)

Here,

m = 200 kg

r = 2.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

b)

Here,

m = 20 kg

r = 25 m

Therefore,

τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

c)

Here,

m = 8 kg

r = 62.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>e. The torque is the same for all cases.</u>

A 5 kilograms bowling ball is dropped out a window. It hits the ground, and bounces upward. The velocity change of the ball is n
ioda

Answer:

13.5

Explanation:

Mass: 5kg

Initial Velocity: -15

Final Velocity: 12

Force: 10

We can use the equation: Vf = Vi + at

We need to find acceleration, and we can use the equation, F=ma,

We have mass and the force so it would look like this, 10=5a, and 5 times 2 would equal 10, so acceleration would be 2.

Now we have all the variables to find time.

Back to Vf = Vi + at, plug the numbers in, 12 = -15 + 2(t)

Plugging them in into desmos gives 13.5 for time.
