Answer:

Explanation:

Let v be the linear velocity ,  ω be the angular velocity  and I be the moment of inertia of the the puck.

Kinetic energy ( linear ) = 1/2 mv²

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

I = 1/2 m r² ( m and r be the mass and radius of the puck )

Rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 x1/2 m r² ω²

= 1/4 m v² ( v = r ω )

Total energy

= Kinetic energy ( linear ) + Rotational kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv² +  1/4 m v²

= 3/4 mv²

rotational K E / Total K E = 1/4 m v² / 3/4 mv²

= 1 /3

So  1 /3  rd of total energy is rotational K E.

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

Write each of Newton's three laws of motion. Use your own wording.
12345 [234]

Answer:

In the first law ,an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law ,when two objects interact , they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction
