In case A below, a 1 kg solid sphere is released from rest at point S. It rolls without slipping down the ramp shown, and is lau

nched vertically into the air at point T. In case B, a 1 kg block slides without friction down an identically shaped ramp and is also launched vertically at point T. Select the statement that best describes which object will go higher after launch, and why

Answer:

the block reaches higher than the sphere

\frac{y_{sphere}} {y_block} = 5/7

Explanation:

We are going to solve this interesting problem

A) in this case a sphere rolls on the ramp, let's find the speed of the center of mass at the exit of the ramp

Let's use the concept of conservation of energy

starting point. At the top of the ramp

         Em₀ = U = m g y₁

final point. At the exit of the ramp

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

notice that we include the translational and rotational energy, we assume that the height of the exit ramp is y₂

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         m g y₁ = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

the moment of inertia of a sphere is

         I = \frac{2}{5} m r²

we substitute

         m g (y₁ - y₂) = ½ m v² + ½ (\frac{2}{5} m r²) (\frac{v}{r})²

         m g h = ½ m v² (1 + \frac{2}{5})

where h is the difference in height between the two sides of the ramp

h = y₂ -y₁

         mg h = \frac{7}{5} (\frac{1}{2} m v²)

         v = √5/7  √2gh

This is the exit velocity of the vertical movement of the sphere

         v_sphere = 0.845 √2gh

B) is the same case, but for a box without friction

   starting point

          Em₀ = U = mg y₁

   final point

          Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          Em₀ = Em_f

          mg y₁ = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          m g (y₁ -y₂) = ½ m v²

          v = √2gh

this is the speed of the box

          v_box = √2gh

to know which body reaches higher in the air we can use the kinematic relations

          v² = v₀² - 2 g y

at the highest point v = 0

           y = vo₀²/ 2g

for the sphere

           y_sphere = 5/7 2gh / 2g

           y_esfera = 5/7 h

for the block

           y_block = 2gh / 2g

            y_block = h

       

therefore the block reaches higher than the sphere

         \frac{y_{sphere}} {y_bolck} = 5/7

<h3>Question 1</h3>

Answer

option C) velocity

Explanation

acceleration =  Δv ÷ Δt

<h3>Question 2</h3>

Answer

option C) m/s²

Explanation

Δv ÷ Δt

= m/s ÷ s

= m/s x 1/s

= m/s²

<h3>Question 3</h3>

Answer

option B) velocity has both direction and speed.

That is why velocity can be negative but speed can not and velocity is rate of change of displacement where as speed is rate of change of distance.

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more uniform with no significant variation in color in the lower cloud levels. much
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.

26. A transformer increases or decreases
uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Single-phase transformers can operate to either increasing or decreasing the voltage applied to the primary winding. When a transformer is used to “increase” the voltage on the secondary winding with respect to the primary, it is called a Step-up transformer

You are making a circular turn in your car on a horizontal road when you hit a big patch of ice, causing the force of friction b
adell [148]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The car travels with centripetal acceleration which is directed to the center of the circle but the velocity is changing since the car faces different direction as it travels in the circular direction. When the friction is zero between the tires of the car and the road, it will continue in the direction of its tangential velocity which will be along a straight-line path in its original direction.

Curtis, a student in our class, makes the following statement: The puck reached a slightly higher location on the ramp than I pr
Sindrei [870]

Answer and Explanation: No, the explanation is not plausible. The puck sliding on the ice is an example of the <u>Principle</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u>, which can be enunciated as "total energy of a system is constant. It can be changed or transferred but the total is always the same".

When a player hit the pluck, it starts to move, gaining kinetic energy (K). As it goes up a ramp, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy (P) increases until it reaches its maximum. When potential energy is maximum, kinetic energy is zero and vice-versa.

So, at the beginning of the movement the puck only has kinetic energy. At the end, it gains potential energy until its maximum.

The representation is as followed:

K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}

K_{i}+0=0+P_{f}

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

As we noticed, mass of the object can be cancelled from the equation, making height be:

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

So, the height the puck reaches depends on velocity and acceleration due to gravity, not mass of the puck.
