Answer:

the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is 39.60 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

height through which the ball is dropped, h = 80.0 m

the initial velocity of the brick, u = 0

The final velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 80

v² = 1568

v = √1568

v = 39.60 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is 39.60 m/s

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration

lidiya [134]

Answer:

1.4m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

Average velocity = $\frac{total distance }{time }$

Total time taken = 5s + 6s = 11s

The first distance covered = velocity x time = 1.4 x 5 = 7m

second distance covered = velocity x time = 1.4 x 6 = 8.4m

So;

Average velocity = $\frac{7 + 8.4}{11}$ = 1.4m/s

4. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man

Cloud [144]

The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

$F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the radius of the Earth

And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.

Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as

$F=mg$

And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.

Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.

A solid sphere, a solid disk, and a thin hoop are all released from rest at the top of the incline (h0 = 20.0 cm).

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. The object with the smallest rotational inertia, the thin hoop

b. The object with the smallest rotational inertia, the thin hoop

c. The rotational speed of the sphere is 55.8 rad/s and Its translational speed is 1.67 m/s

Explanation:

a. Without doing any calculations, decide which object would be spinning the fastest when it gets to the bottom. Explain.

Since the thin has the smallest rotational inertia. This is because, since kinetic energy of a rotating object K = 1/2Iω² where I = rotational inertia and ω = angular speed.

ω = √2K/I

ω ∝ 1/√I

since their kinetic energy is the same, so, the thin hoop which has the smallest rotational inertia spins fastest at the bottom.

b. Again, without doing any calculations, decide which object would get to the bottom first.

Since the acceleration of a rolling object a = gsinФ/(1 + I/MR²), and all three objects have the same kinetic energy, the object with the smallest rotational inertia has the largest acceleration.

This is because a ∝ 1/(1 + I/MR²) and the object with the smallest rotational inertia has the smallest ratio for I/MR² and conversely small 1 + I/MR² and thus largest acceleration.

So, the object with the smallest rotational inertia gets to the bottom first.

c. Assuming all objects are rolling without slipping, have a mass of 2.00 kg and a radius of 3.00 cm, find the rotational and translational speed at the bottom of the incline of any one of these three objects.

We know the kinetic energy of a rolling object K = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mv² where I = rotational inertia and ω = angular speed, m = mass and v = velocity of center of mass = rω where r = radius of object

The kinetic energy K = potential energy lost = mgh where h = 20.0 cm = 0.20 m and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

So, mgh = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mv² = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mr²ω²

Let I = moment of inertia of sphere = 2mr²/5 where r = radius of sphere = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m and m = mass of sphere = 2.00 kg

So, mgh = 1/2Iω² + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = 1/2(2mr²/5 )ω² + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = mr²ω²/5 + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = 7mr²ω²/10

gh = 7r²ω²/10

ω² = 10gh/7r²

ω = √(10gh/7) ÷ r

substituting the values of the variables, we have

ω = √(10 × 9.8 m/s² × 0.20 m/7) ÷ 0.03 m

= 1.673 m/s ÷ 0.03 m

= 55.77 rad/s

≅ 55.8 rad/s

So, its rotational speed is 55.8 rad/s

Its translational speed v = rω

= 0.03 m × 55.8 rad/s

= 1.67 m/s

So, its rotational speed is of the sphere is 55.8 rad/s and Its translational speed is 1.67 m/s
