Answer:

acceleration are

     hollow cylinder < hollow sphere < solid cylinder < solid sphere

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's analyze the problem. Let's use conservation of energy

Starting point. Highest point

          Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. To get off the ramp

          Em_f = K = ½ mv² + ½ I w²

notice that we include the kinetic energy of translation and rotation

         

energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_f

        mgh = ½ m v² +1/2 I w²

angular and linear velocity are related

         v = w r

         w = v / r

we substitute

          mg h = ½ v² (m + I / r²)

          v² = 2 gh   \frac{m}{m+ \frac{I}{r^2} }

          v² = 2gh    \frac{1}{1 + \frac{I}{m r^2} }

this is the velocity at the bottom of the plane ,, indicate that it stops from rest, so we can use the kinematics relationship to find the acceleration in the axis ax (parallel to the plane)

         v² = v₀² + 2 a L

where L is the length of the plane

         v² = 2 a L

         a = v² / 2L

we substitute

         a = g \ \frac{h}{L} \  \frac{1}{1+ \frac{I}{m r^2 } }

let's use trigonometry

         sin θ = h / L

         

we substitute

         a = g sin θ   \ \frac{h}{L} \  \frac{1}{1+ \frac{I}{m r^2 } }

the moment of inertia of each object is tabulated, let's find the acceleration of each object

a) Hollow cylinder

      I = m r²

we look for the acerleracion

      a₁ = g sin θ    \frac{1}{1 + \frac{mr^2 }{m r^2 } }1/1 + mr² / mr² =

      a₁ = g sin θ    ½

b) solid cylinder

       I = ½ m r²

       a₂ = g sin θ  \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{2}  \frac{mr^2}{mr^2} } = g sin θ   \frac{1}{1+ \frac{1}{2} }

       a₂ = g sin θ   ⅔

c) hollow sphere

     I = 2/3 m r²

     a₃ = g sin θ   \frac{1}{1 + \frac{2}{3} }

     a₃ = g sin θ \frac{3}{5}

d) solid sphere

     I = 2/5 m r²

     a₄ = g sin θ  \frac{1 }{1 + \frac{2}{5} }

     a₄ = g sin θ  \frac{5}{7}

We already have all the accelerations, to facilitate the comparison let's place the fractions with the same denominator (the greatest common denominator is 210)

a) a₁ = g sin θ ½ = g sin θ      \frac{105}{210}

b) a₂ = g sinθ ⅔ = g sin θ     \frac{140}{210}

c) a₃ = g sin θ \frac{3}{5}= g sin θ       \frac{126}{210}

d) a₄ = g sin θ \frac{5}{7} = g sin θ      \frac{150}{210}

the order of acceleration from lower to higher is

   

     a₁ <a₃ <a₂ <a₄

acceleration are

     hollow cylinder < hollow sphere < solid cylinder < solid sphere

Certain insects can achieve seemingly impossible accelerations while jumping. the click beetle accelerates at an astonishing 400
hichkok12 [17]

(a) The launching velocity of the beetle is 6.4 m/s

(b) The time taken to achieve the speed for launch is 1.63 ms

(c) The beetle reaches a height of 2.1 m.

(a) The beetle starts from rest and accelerates with an upward acceleration of 400 g and reaches its launching speed in a distance 0.53 cm. Here g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2as

Here, the initial velocity of the beetle is u, its final velocity is v, the acceleration of the beetle is a, and the beetle accelerates over a distance s.

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 0.52×10⁻²m for s.

v^2=u^2+2as\\ = (0 m/s)^2+2 (400)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.52*10^-^2 m)\\ =40.768 (m/s)^2\\ v=6.385 m/s

The launching speed of the beetle is <u>6.4 m/s</u>.

(b) To determine the time t taken by the beetle for launching itself upwards is determined by using the equation of motion,

v=u+at

Substitute 0 m/s for u, 400 g for a, 9.8 m/s² for g and 6.385 m/s for v.

v=u+at\\ 6.385 m/s = (0 m/s) +400(9.8 m/s^2)t\\ t = \frac{6.385 m/s}{3920 m/s^2} = 1.63*10^-^3s=1.63 ms

The time taken by the beetle to launch itself upwards is <u>1.62 ms</u>.

(c) After the beetle launches itself upwards, it is acted upon by the earth's gravitational force, which pulls it downwards towards the earth with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity g. Its velocity reduces and when it reaches the maximum height in its path upwards, its final velocity becomes equal to zero.

Use the equation of motion,

v^2=u^2+2as

Substitute 6.385 m/s for u, -9.8 m/s² for g and 0 m/s for v.

v^2=u^2+2as\\ (0m/s)^2=(6.385 m/s)^2+2(-9.8m/s^2)s\\ s=\frac{(6.385 m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =2.08 m

The beetle can jump to a height of <u>2.1 m</u>

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.
