Answer: 6s

Explanation:

Vs=32m/s  speed at beginning of slowing down

Vf=0m/s     stop speed

a= -6 m/s²  acceleration

----------------

Use equation for acceleration :

a=(Vf-Vs)/t

a*t=Vf-Vs

t=(Vf-Vs)/a

t=(0-36)/-6

t=-36/-6

t=6 s

The objects listed are placed at the top of a ramp and roll down to the bottom without slipping. Assuming that there is no air r
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

For each object, the initial potential energy is converted to rotational energy and translational energy:

PE = RE + KE

mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²

For the marble (a solid sphere), I = ⅖ mr².

For the basketball (a hollow sphere), I = ⅔ mr².

For the manhole cover (a solid cylinder), I = ½ mr².

For the wedding ring (a hollow cylinder), I = mr².

If we say k is the coefficient in each case:

mgh = ½ (kmr²) ω² + ½ mv²

For rolling without slipping, ωr = v:

mgh = ½ kmv² + ½ mv²

gh = ½ kv² + ½ v²

2gh = (k + 1) v²

v² = 2gh / (k + 1)

The smaller the value of k, the higher the velocity.  Therefore:

marble > manhole cover > basketball > wedding ring

Determine the volume of a cube whose width is 32.1 cm. Round your answer to the correct number significant figures.
Romashka [77]

The volume of a cube is given by:

V=L^3

where L is the measure of each side (which corresponds to its width, since all sides of a cube are equal).

Plugging the data of the problem, L=32.1 cm, inside the equation, we find the volume:

V=L^3 =(32.1 cm)^3 =33076.2 cm^3

X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light. (A) True (B) False
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(B) False

Explanation:

The visible light and the x-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, all in the spectrum travel in the vacuum at the same speed, at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s ). If the visible light ant the x-rays are traveling inside a medium, their velocity will change due to the properties of the medium but in the vacuum, their speed is the same.
