The famous scientist Galileo Galilei did several experiments with sloping planes, which he rolled metal balls down so that he co

uld study motion. By changing the slope, he could study how the speed at which the ball rolled was affected.
What was one thing Galileo would have needed to control himself to make sure his experiment gave him useful information?

A. the speed of the ball
B. the slope of the plane
C. the pull of Earth's gravity
D. the material the ball was made of

Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

A 2.0 kg block has a rope attached to the block on a table and is pulled with a force of 8.0 N. The block accelerated at 2.5m/s^
Masja [62]

Answer:

0.15

Explanation:

Assuming the rope is horizontal, sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − Nμ = ma

Substitute:

F − mgμ = ma

mgμ = F − ma

μ = (F − ma) / (mg)

Plug in values:

μ = (8.0 N − 2.0 kg × 2.5 m/s²) / (2.0 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.15

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

The kinetic energy K of a moving object varies jointly with its mass m and the square of its velocity v. If an object weighing 4
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

K' = 1777.777  J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 40 kg

v= 15 m/s

K=1000

Given that kinetic energy(K) varies with mass(m) and velocity(v)

 K= C(mv²)

Where

C= Constant

m=mass

v=velocity

When

m = 40 kg ,v= 15 m/s ,K=1000

 K= C(mv²)

1000 = C( 40 x 15²)

C=0.111111

When m = 40 kg and v= 20 m/s

K' = C(mv²)

K= 0.1111 x (40 x 20²)

K' = 1777.777  J

A hollow conductor is positively charged. Asmall uncharged metal ball is lowered by a silk thread through asmall opening in the
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the property of a conductor, the entire charge will reside on the outer surface of the conductor, there is no charge on the inner side of the conductor. As the uncharged metal ball touches the inner surface of the conductor, it does not attain any charge as the inner side of the conductor has no charge.

So option (c) is correct.
