A hollow cylinder that is rolling without slipping is given a velocity of 5.0 m/s and rolls up an incline to a vertical height o

inysia [295]

Answer:

The hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, total kinetic energy = total potential energy

$M.E_T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 + mgh$

The total energy at the bottom of the inclined plane = total energy at the top of the inclined plane.

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_i^2 + mg(0) = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_f^2 + mgh$

moment of inertia, I, of a hollow cylinder = ¹/₂mr²

substitute for I in the equation above;

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega_i^2) = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega_f^2) + mgh\\\\ but \ v = r \omega\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_i^2 ) = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_f^2) + mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\\frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\mgh = \frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 - \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2\\\\gh = \frac{3}{4}v_i^2 - \frac{3}{4}v_f^2\\\\$

$h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2)$

given;

v₁ = 5.0 m/s

vf = 0

g = 9.8 m/s²

$h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2) =\frac{3}{4*9.8}(5^2 -0) = 1.91 \ m$

Therefore, the hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

If a force of 12 N is applied to an object

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 3 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{12}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>3 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

En un juego de béisbol, un lanzador logra

den301095 [7]

Answer:

B transferred.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is simply transferred by transforming it into other forms of energy.

According to the law of conservation of energy "energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

The moving baseball posses kinetic energy
As it hits the bat, it is converted to mechanical and thermal energy.
The bat warms up due to the transfer of the kinetic energy.
The mechanical energy of the bat cause work to be done on it and it breaks apart.
This ensures that the energy in this process is conserved.

What are the component parts of modern fireworks? What does each part do?

EleoNora [17]

Answer: Aluminum, Antimony, Barium, Calcium, Carbon, Chlorine, Copper, Iron, Lithium, Magnesium, Oxygen, Zinc, Titanium, Strontium, Sulfur, Sodium, Potassium, Phosphorus

Explanation:

Aluminum: Aluminum is a common component of sparklers. It is used to produce silver and white flames and sparks.

Antimony: Antimony is used to create firework glitter effects.

Barium: Barium is used to create green colors in fireworks, and it can also help stabilize other volatile elements.

Calcium: Calcium is used to deepen firework colors. Calcium salts produce orange shades in the fireworks.

Carbon: Carbon is an important components of black powder, which is used as a propellant in fireworks. Carbon provides the fuel for a firework. Common forms include carbon black, sugar, or starch.

Chlorine: Chlorine is an important component of many oxidizers in fireworks. Several of the metal salts that produce colors contain chlorine.

Copper: Copper compounds produce blue shades in fireworks.

Iron: Iron is used to produce sparks. The heat of the metal determines the color of the sparks in this case.

Lithium: Lithium is a metal that is used to impart a red color to fireworks. Lithium carbonate, in particular, is a common colorant.

Magnesium: Magnesium burns a very bright white, so it is used to add white sparks or improve the overall brilliance of a firework.

Oxygen: Fireworks include oxidizers, which are substances that produce oxygen in order to support. The oxidizers are usually nitrates, chlorates, or perchlorates. Sometimes the same substance is used to provide oxygen and color.

Phosphorus: Phosphorus burns spontaneously in air and is also responsible for some glow-in-the-dark effects. It may be a component of a firework's fuel.

Potassium: Potassium helps to oxidize firework mixtures. Potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate, and potassium perchlorate are all important oxidizers.

Sodium: Sodium produces a gold or yellow color in fireworks, however, the color may be so bright that it masks less intense colors.

Sulfur: Sulfur is a component of black powder. It is found in the firework's propellant/fuel.

Strontium: Strontium salts give a red color to fireworks. Strontium compounds are also important for stabilizing fireworks mixtures.

Titanium: Titanium metal can be burnt as powder or flakes to produce silver sparks.

Zinc: Zinc is used to create smoke effects in fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices.
