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

A scientist wants to model an internal organ with connective tissue as a mass on a spring. The mass of the organ is 2.0 kg, and
vichka [17]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 5483.11 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the organ, m = 2 kg

The natural period of oscillation is, T = 0.12 s

Let k is the spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model. The period of oscillation is given by :

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2 m}{T^2}

k=\dfrac{4\pi^2 \times 2\ kg}{(0.12\ s)^2}

k = 5483.11 N/m

So, the  spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model is 5483.11 N/m.
