why is a train more difficult to stop then a rolling ball even if they are traveling at the same speed? URGENT

1 answer:

5 0

Think of the formula force=mass x acceleration. even though they have the same acceleration, a train has more mass. is that helpful?

How are kinetic energy potential energy and thermal energy in a substance related?

asambeis [7]

The energy associated with an object's motion is called kinetic energy. ... This is also called thermal energy – the greater the thermal energy, the greater the kinetic energy of atomic motion, and vice versa.

a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

where

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular speed

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

$\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s$

Substituting,

$\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s$

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

$\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t$

where

$\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s$

Substituting,

$\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm$

g We saw in class that in a pendulum the string does no work. We also saw that the normal force does no work on an object slidin

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work

$i.e Normal \ Force(N) = mg cos \theta$

And $\theta = 90$ so

$N = 0$

An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position

A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work
