Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

_________ is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Rest

Explanation:

Rest is a change in the position of a body with respect to time relative to a reference point. The stationary state of an object or body relative to a reference position or another object is called Rest.

Taking Newton's First Law of motion into consideration, an object will remain in its state of rest or uniform motion until acted upon by an external force. This implies an object at rest is an object with zero (without) velocity and acceleration.

The flywheel of a steam engine begins to rotate from rest with a constant angular acceleration of 1.33 rad/s2. It accelerates fo
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

We first to know that if the wheel rotates from rest means that at t=0 the velocity and the angle rotated is 0.

Then, we know:

\alpha = 1.33 = \frac{dw}{dt}

Integrating 2 times, we have:

w = 1.33t\\angle =0.665t^{2}

For the first 27.9 s, we have:

w = 37.107 rad/s

angle = 517.6426 rad

For the next seconds, according to the text, the angular velocity is constant so

w = 37.107 rad/s and hence, integrating:

angle =37.107t

Then, the time remaining is:

53.5 - 27.9 = 25.6  

So for the next 25.6 seconds we have:

angle = 37.107*25.6=949.9392 rad

Finally, we add the 2 angles and we have as a result:

angle = 517.6426+949.9392=1467.5818
