Answer:

Air resistance

Explanation:

Because the air gives a much greater resistance to the falling motion of the feather than it does to the brick. The air is actually an upward force that is acting against gravity and slowing down the rate at which the feather falls.

A ball with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s rolls up a hill without slipping. (a) Treating the ball as a spherical shell, calcul

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Part i)

h = 5.44 m

Part ii)

h = 3.16 m

Explanation:

Part i)

Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy

So we have

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

here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions

$v = R \omega$

$I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}mR^2)(\frac{v^2}{R^2}) = mgh$

$\frac{5}{6}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{5v^2}{6g}$

$h = \frac{5(8^2)}{6(9.81)} = 5.44 m$

Part b)

If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{8^2}{2(9.81)} = 3.16 m$
