Answer:

A scientific theory is a well-explained idea which is established after performing the experiments which provide the evidence in support of the hypothesis.

The theory can be modified as well as can be rejected with time as the advancement in the technology can provide new facts which could be added in the existed theory or contradictory facts which could lead to the rejection of the theory.

The generation of new data can shift the paradigm of science on the basis of which the scientific theory is based.

F_P + F_Q = M g
F_P = M g - F_Q
Torque, or moment of force:
∑ M_P = 0
∑ M_P = M g L - F_Q · 3 L
0 = M g L - 3 F_Q L / : L
0 = M g - 3 F_Q
3 F_Q = M g
F_Q = M g /3
Finally:
F_P = M g - M g/3
F_P = 4 M g / 3

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Part a)

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we will have

$KE = \frac{1}{5} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{7}{10}(\frac{42}{9.81})(5.10^2)$

$KE = 77.95 J$

Part b)

By mechanical energy conservation law we know that

Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere

So we will have

$mgLsin\theta = KE$

$\frac{42}{9.81}(9.81)L sin36 = 77.95$

$L = 3.16 m$

Part c)

by equation of energy conservation we know that

$\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgL sin\theta$

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

It says find the slope for each line I'm stuck on number one can you help me

Allushta [10]

$\text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(-2, -1)(3, 1)

Therefore,

$\text{slope}=\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)}=\frac{1+1}{3+2}=\frac{2}{5}$
