A basketball rolls without slipping (starting from rest) down a ramp. If the ramp is sloped by an angle of 4 degrees above the h

orizontal and the ball rolls for a distance of 60 m along the ramp, what is its speed after rolling this far?The moment of inertia of a basketball is 1.

Answer:

11.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find its speed, we first find the acceleration of the center of mass of a rolling object is given by

a = gsinθ/(1 + I/MR²) where θ = angle of slope = 4, I = moment of inertia of basketball = 2/3MR²

a = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3MR²/MR²)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4 × (5/3)

  = 1.14 m/s²

To find its speed v after rolling for 60 m, we use

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed = 0 (since it starts from rest), s = 60 m

v = √(u² + 2as) = √(0² + 2 × 1.14 m/s × 60 m) = √136.8 = 11.7 m/s

A vector has an x-component
9966 [12]

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant.  Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.

Kenneth ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in 5.5 hours. What was Kenneth's average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) 0.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4.8 mph

Explanation:

From the question,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V = d/t....................... Equation 1

Where d = distance, t = time

Given: d = 26.2 miles, t = 5.5 hours.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 26.2/5.5

V = 4.76 mph

V ≈ 4.8 mph

How do rising temperature affect the process of convection
Papessa [141]

<span>Convection is a process of heat transfer between a surface and a moving fluid. It occurs when the air has a lower temperature than the body, and the body transfers heat through contact with the cold air around it. Air heating causes it to rise. The increase in temperature affects the convection process, since as the warm air rises, the cold air takes its place, thus completing its convection cycle. Example: Wind</span>

You are hiking along a trail in a wide, dry canyon where the outdoor temperature is T = 29.5° C. To determine how far you are aw
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

<em>The canyon is approximately 314 meters away</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed of Sound</u>

If we emit sounds in an open space where a large obstacle (like a mountain) is expected to return the sounds, then it will travel forth and back at a given speed for a certain time. We can assume the speed of sound is constant, so we could know the approximate distance of the mountain (or canyon in our case) by the known formula.

x=v_st

Where v_s is the speed of sound and t is half the time we hear our echo.

The speed of sound in m/s can be calculated from the approximate formula in terms of the temperature T in degrees Celsius

v_s=331.3+0.606T

We have T=29.5^oC, so

v_s=331.3+0.606(29.5)

v_s=349.177\ m/s

Let's compute x, for t=1.8/2=0.9 seconds

x=v_st=(349.177)(0.9)

x=314.26\ m

The canyon is approximately 314 meters away
