A solid sphere of weight 42.0 N rolls up an incline at an angle of 36.0°. At the bottom of the incline the center of mass of the

sphere has a translational speed of 5.10 m/s.
(a) What is the kinetic energy of the sphere at the bottom of the incline?
(b) How far does the sphere travel up along the incline?
(c) Does the answer to (b) depend on the sphere's mass?

Answer:

Part a)

KE = 77.95 J

Part b)

L = 3.16 m

Part c)

distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we will have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we will have

KE = \frac{1}{5} mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

KE = \frac{7}{10} mv^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}(\frac{42}{9.81})(5.10^2)

KE = 77.95 J

Part b)

By mechanical energy conservation law we know that

Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere

So we will have

mgLsin\theta = KE

\frac{42}{9.81}(9.81)L sin36 = 77.95

L = 3.16 m

Part c)

by equation of energy conservation we know that

\frac{7}{10}mv^2 = mgL sin\theta

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere

Answer:

a) P1=100kpa

V1=6m³

V2=?

P2=50kpa

rearranging mathematically the expression for Boyle's law

V2=(P1V1)/P2=(100×6)/50=12m³

b) same apartment as in (a) but only the value of P2 changes

=> V2=(100×6)/40=15m³

Explanation:

since temperature is not changing we use Boyle's law. mathematically expressed as P1V1=P2V2

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.208 N

Explanation:

We are given that

q_1=q_2=2.06\mu C=2.06\times 10^{-6} C

q_3=q_4=-2.06\mu C=-2.06\times 10^{-6} C

Distance,d=0.41 m

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force experienced by any charge at point 4

Net force,F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2_1+F^2_3+2F_1F_3cos90^{\circ}}-F_2

F_1=F_3=F

F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+F^2+0}-F_2

F_{net}=\sqrt 2F-F_2

F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}

F_2=\frac{Kq^2}{2d^2}

F_{net}=\frac{\sqrt 2kq^2}{d^2}-\frac{kq^2}{2d^2}=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})

Where k=9\times 10^9

F_{net}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (2.06\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.41)^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})

F_{net}=0.208 N

pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a

divide both sides by 40

a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2
