Two identical bowling balls are rolling on a horizontal floor without slipping. The initial speed of both balls is v = 10 m/s. B
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The difference between frictionless ramp and a regular ramp is that on a frictionless ramp the ball cannot roll it can only slide, but on a regular ramp the ball can roll without slipping.

We will use conversation of energy.

K_A_1 + U_A_1 = K_A_2 + U_A_2\\\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgH_A

Note that initial potential energy is zero because the ball is on the bottom, and the final kinetic energy is zero because the ball reaches its maximum vertical distance and stops.

For the ball B;

K_B_1 + U_B_1 = K_B_2 + U_B_2

\frac{1}{2}I_B\omega^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgH_B

The initial velocities of the balls are equal. Their maximum climbing point will be proportional to their final potential energy. Since their initial kinetic energies are equal, their final potential energies must be equal as well.

Hence, both balls climb the same point.

Why is the current atomic model called the "electron could model"
vlada-n [284]
The diagram is showing a 3d model of an atom, with all of the electrons demonstrated in a rounded shape, which resembles a cloud, thus being called an electron cloud.

Which cells or organs are considered to be part of both the immune and lymphatic systems? Select all that apply.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

lymph nodes

tonsils and adenoids

thymus

Explanation:

-Arteries are the blood vessels that take the blood that contains oxygen from the heart to the tissues and are part of the circulatory system.

-Lymph nodes are glands that take care of filtering the fluid that goes through the lympathic system and are also important for the functioning of the immune system.

-Capillaries are blood vessels that connect the veins and arteries and are part of the circulatory system.

-Tonsils and adenoids are located in the throat and they help protect the body from diseases and they are part of immune system and the lympathic system.

-Veins are the vessels that take the blood to the heart and they are part of the circulatory system.

-Thymus is an organ in which the T cells develop and they help protect the body against virus and bacteria and it is part of the immune and lympathic systems.

According to this, cells or organs that are considered to be part of both the immune and lymphatic systems are:

lymph nodes

tonsils and adenoids

thymus
