How do you find the force of a ping-pong ball rolling down a track?

Answer:

Weight

a) weight's vertical component = Normal upward force

b) weight's horizontal component = Friction force = (mass of ball)(acceleration)

These forces depend upon the track,

1) inclined or horizontal

2) steepness.

Explanation

The force of gravity points straight down, but a ball rolling down a ramp doesn't go straight down, it follows the ramp. Therefore, only the component of the weight which points along the direction of the ball's motion can accelerate the ball.

weight's horizontal component = Friction force = (mass of ball)(acceleration)

The other component pushes the ball into the ramp, and the ramp pushes back.

If the ramp is horizontal, then the ball does not accelerate, as gravity pushes the ball into the ramp and not along the surface of the ramp. Hope this helps. Can u give me brainliest

The angle of reflection is the angle the ____ to the reflecting surface.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.

Explanation:

Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface

If a 1000-pound capsule weighs only 165 pounds on the moon, how much work is done in propelling this capsule out of the moon's g

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

W = 1,307 10⁶ J

Explanation:

Work is the product of force by distance, in this case it is the force of gravitational attraction between the moon (M) and the capsule (m₁)

F = G m₁ M / r²

W = ∫ F. dr

W = G m₁ M ∫ dr / r²

we integrate

W = G m₁ M (-1 / r)

We evaluate between the limits, lower r = R_ Moon and r = ∞

W = -G m₁ M (1 /∞ - 1 / R_moon)

W = G m1 M / r_moon

Body weight is

W = mg

m = W / g

The mass is constant, so we can find it with the initial data

For the capsule

m = 1000/32 = 165 / g_moon

g_moom = 165 32/1000

.g_moon = 5.28 ft / s²

I think it is easier to follow the exercise in SI system

W_capsule = 1000 pound (1 kg / 2.20 pounds)

W_capsule = 454 N

W = m_capsule g

m_capsule = W / g

m = 454 /9.8

m_capsule = 46,327 kg

Let's calculate

W = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 46,327 7.36 10²² / 1.74 10⁶

W = 1,307 10⁶ J

A cyclist rides 6.3 km east for 21 minutes, then he turns and heads west for 6 minutes and 1.8 km. Finally, he rides east for 13

Leona [35]

Answer:

$\vec{d}=17.7km$

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector that defines the position of a particle. The vector extends from the initial position to the final position. Therefore, the displacement only takes into account this positions, since its trajectory is not important:

$\vec{d}=6.3km-1.8km+13.2km\\\vec{d}=17.7km$

To understand the nature of electric fields and how to draw field lines. Electric field lines are a tool used to visualize elect

Brrunno [24]

Explanation:

The electric field is defined as the change in the properties of space caused by the existence of a positively (+) or negatively (-) charged particle. The electric field can be represented by infinitely many lines from a particle, and those lines never intersect each other. Depending on the type of charge we can see different cases:

Let's say we have a positive charge alone (image 1). The field lines are drawn from the centre of the particle outwards to infinity (in other words, they disappear from the edge of the picture). Meaning the direction of the electric field points outwards the particle.

For a negative charge alone (image 2), the lines come from infinity to the centre, and point towards the particle (i.e. lines appear from the edge of the picture).

Let's see what happens if we have two charges together:

Two positive charges (image 3): Since the charges are of the same type (positive), the particles repel each other. Then the field lines will avoid each other so they do not join. The charge is positive, so lines point outwards.
Two negative charges (image 4): Again, the charges are both negative, so they repel. But they are negative, so the field points inwards.
Negative and positive charges (image 5): They are different charges, so the force between them is attractive. This causes the field lines from both to join. They go out of the positive and come into the negative particle.

Image 6:

The lines are passing through infinite points of the space. If we choose a certain point and measure the electric field, we can see to which direction the electric field points. This is the direction of the electric field vector. It does not matter which point we choose; the electric field vector touches the field line only at this point, which means it is tangent to the field line.
