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

A 2.00-m rod of negligible mass connects two very small objects at its ends. The mass of one object is 1.00 kg and the mass of t
8090 [49]

Answer:

<h2> 4kg</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

length of rod=2m

mass of object 1 m1=1kg

let the unknown mass be x

center of mass<em> c.m</em>= 1.6m

hence 1kg is 1.6m from the <em>c.m</em>

and x is 0.4m from the <em>c.m</em>

Taking moment about the <em>c.m</em>

<em>clockwise moment equals anticlockwise moments</em>

1*1.6=x*0.4

1.6=0.4x

divide both sides by 0.4 we have

x=1.6/0.4

x=4kg

The mass of the other object is 4kg

Define what velocity means.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of an object's speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).

How do light microscopes differ from electron microscopes?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
In light microscope, source is light whereas in electron microscope, source is electron.
Electron microscopes have very low wavelength as compared to light microscope, so it gives larger resolving power.

Hope this helps!
