Answer:

LHS=RHS=[L]

Two identical spheres of which one  is solid and other hollow take different times to descend an  inclined plane because of their different mass distribution about the center of rotation.

Explanation:

Given mathematical expression:

where:                                             dimension:

s = displacement length                [L]

u = initial velocity                           [L.T^{-1}]

t = time                                                 [T]

a = acceleration                             [L.T^{-2}]

now using dimensional analysis:

LHS=[L]

and

RHS=[L.T^{-1}]\times [T]+[L.T^{-2}]\times [T]^2

we know that the ratio and constants have no dimension.

\Rightarrow RHS=[L]

∵LHS=RHS

As we know that only similar dimensions can be added or subtracted therefore we get a correct conclusion.

However we can deduce the operators between the equations and can neither check for the validity of the constants. We can only check for the dimension of the terms involved.

2)

Two identical spheres of which one  is solid and other hollow take different times to descend an  inclined plane because of their different rolling motion.

we know that:

  • the moment of inertia of a solid sphere is given as, I=\frac{2}{5} m.R^2
  • the moment of inertia of a hollow sphere is given as, I=\frac{2}{3} m.R^2

Torque during the rolling would be given as:

\tau=I.\alpha

\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}

This indicates that the solid sphere will descend first when other parameters remain constant.

Answer

a) Using dimensional analysis we cannot derive the relation, But we can check the  correctness of the formula.

  s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

now,  L H S

  s = distance

  dimension of distance = [M⁰L¹T⁰]

now, equation on the right hand side

 R H S

 u = speed

 u = m/s

 Dimension of speed = [M⁰L¹T⁻¹]

dimension of time

  t = sec

 Dimension of time = [M⁰L⁰T¹]

 Dimension of 'ut' = [M⁰L¹T⁻¹][M⁰L⁰T¹]

                              = [M⁰L¹T⁰]

now, acceleration= a

  a = m /s²

dimension of acceleration = [M⁰L¹T⁻²]

dimension of (at²) = [M⁰L¹T⁻²][M⁰L⁰T¹][M⁰L⁰T¹]

                              = [M⁰L¹T⁰]

hence, the dimension are balanced.

so, L H S = R H S

b) Moment of inertia of hollow sphere = \dfrac{2}{3}Mr^2

  Moment of inertia of solid sphere = \dfrac{2}{5}Mr^2

   we know,

    \tau = I \alpha

    \alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}

Torque is the force that causes rotation

If the same amount of torque is applied to both spheres the sphere with bigger moment of inertia would have smaller angular velocity.

Thus the solid sphere would accelerate more.

Un automovil transita por una curva en forma de U y recorre una distancia de 400m en 30s sin embargo su posición final está a so
pochemuha

Answer:

Definimos:

Rapidez media es igual al cociente entre la distancia recorrida y el tiempo que se tarda en recorrer esa distancia.

En este caso la distancia recorrida es 400m, y el tiempo que se tarda es 30s, entonces la rapidez media va a ser:

RM = 400m/30s = 13.33 m/s

La velocidad media por otro lado, es igual al cociente entre el desplazamiento y el tiempo necesario para desplazarse.

El desplazamiento es igual a la distancia entre la posición final y la posición inicial, que en este caso eso 40m, y el tiempo necesario sigue siendo 30s, entonces la velocidad media va a ser:

VM = 40m/30s = 1.33 m/s

If a wave has amplitude of 2 meters, a wavelength of 5 meters, and a frequency of 60 Hz, at what speed is it moving?
klemol [59]
The relationship between speed of a wave w, frequency f and wavelength \lambda is
v = \lambda f
For the wave of our problem, \lambda = 5 m and f=60 Hz, so its speed is
v=(5 m)(60 Hz)=300 m/s

An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, and there is an air resistance force causing an acceleration
lana [24]

Answer:

Vf= 7.29 m/s

Explanation:

Two force act on the object:

1) Gravity

2) Air resistance

Upward motion:

Initial velocity = Vi= 10 m/s

Final velocity = Vf= 0 m/s

Gravity acting downward =  g = -9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting downward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = -(g + a₁ ) = - ( 9.8 + 3 ) = - 12.8 m/s²

( Acceleration is consider negative if it is in opposite direction of velocity )

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * (-12.8) *s = 0 - 10²

⇒-25.6 *s = -100

⇒ s = 100/ 25.6

⇒ s = 3.9 m

Downward motion:

Vi= 0 m/s

s = 3.9 m

Gravity acting downward =  g = 9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting upward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = g - a₁  =  9.8 - 3  = 6.8 m/s²

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * 6.8 * 3.9 = Vf² - 0

⇒ Vf² = 53. 125

⇒ Vf= 7.29 m/s

A dog of mass 4 kg runs up a hill of height 8 m. How much gravitational potential energy does the dog gain?
Genrish500 [490]
A. 314 because when you use the formula for the GPE ; GPE=MGH or means mass times gravity time height (4x8x9.8) and thats equivalent to 313.6 which rounds up to 314. Hope it helps
