The steel ball in a pinball game rolls around a flat, tilted surface. If you flick the ball straight uphill, it gradually slows

to a stop and then begins to roll downhill. Which direction is the ball accelerating (a) as it rolls uphill? (b) as it rolls downhill?

Why: As the steel ball rolls uphill, the velocity gradually decreases and finally the ball stops, thus, the acceleration will be in the opposite direction of motion (that is downhill). After the stop, the ball will start rolling downhill by an increasing velocity, thus, the acceleration in this case will be in the same direction as the motion (downhill again).

From a set of graphed data the slope of the best fit line is found to be 1.35 m/s and the slope of the worst fit line is 1.29m/s
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Solution:

Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by 'm_{best}'

and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by 'm_{worst}'

Given that:

m_{best} = 1.35 m/s

m_{worst} = 1.29 m/s

Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:

\Delta m = \frac{m_{best}-m_{worst}}{2}               (1)

Substituting values in eqn (1), we get

\Delta m = \frac{1.35 - 1.29}{2} = 0.03 m/s

What is the net force at the equilibrium point? Derive an equation for the location of the equilibrium point based on the accele
Vitek1552 [10]

To find a general equilibrium point for a spring based on the hook law, it is possible to start from the following premise:

Hook's law is given by:

F = k\Delta X

Where,

k= Spring Constant

\Delta X = Change in Length

F = Force

When there is a Mass we have two force acting at the System:

W= mg

Where W is the force product of the weigth. Then the force net can be defined as,

F_{net} = F+W

But we have a system in equilibrium, so

0 = K\Delta X -mg

We find the equilibrium for any location when

\Delta X = \frac{mg}{k}

Find the horizontal component and the vertical component ​
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

v=3.66,h-3.66

Explanation:

vertical = 10sin60 - 10sin 30

horizontal =10cos60 + 10cos 30

v = 10×0.8660-10×0.5

h = 10×0.5 + 10 × 0.8660

v=8.660-5.0 = 3.66

h= 5.0-8.660 = -3.66
