If you increase the steepness of the ramp, then you will increase the acceleration of a ball which rolls down the ramp. This can be seen in two different ways:
<span>1) Components of forces. Forces are vectors and have a direction and a magnitude. 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 gravitational force which points along the direction of the ball's motion can accelerate the ball. The other component pushes the ball into the ramp, and the ramp pushes back, so there is no acceleration of the ball into the ramp. 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. If the ramp is vertical, the ball just drops with acceleration due to gravity. These arguments are changed a bit by the fact that the ball is rolling and not sliding, but that only affects the magnitude of the acceleration but not the fact that it increases with ramp steepness. </span>
<span>2) Work and energy. The change in potential energy of the ball is its mass times the change in height (only the vertical component counts -- horizontal displacements do not change gravitational potential energy) times the local gravitational acceleration g. This loss of gravitational potential energy shows up as an increase in kinetic energy. If the ball falls a farther distance vertically, it will have a greater kinetic energy and be going faster. Again, the kinetic energy is shared between the motion of the ball going somewhere, and the rotation of the ball, and so the details of the acceleration depend on the ball (is it hollow or solid?), but the dependence on the steepness of the ramp is the same. </span>
Answer:
1.343 atm
Explanation:
The mass of water above 1 square meter of swimming pool bottom is ...
M = (3.5 m)·(1000 kg/m^3) = 3500 kg/m^2
Then the force exerted by the water on the pool bottom is ...
F = Mg = (3500 kg/m^2)(9.8 m/s^2) = 34300 N/m^2 = 34300 Pa
Compared with atmospheric pressure, this is ...
34,300/10^5 = 0.343 . . . . atmospheres
Added to the atmospheric pressure on the water's surface, the total pressure on the pool bottom is 1.343 atmospheres.
The speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. Then the next step is to convert m/s into km/s.To determine the time, the distance must be divided with velocity. It will take the light signal 3.3*10^-6 seconds to reach his assistant.
Answer:
A:
Explanation:
The earth rotates on it's axis every 24 hours not revolves.
Imagine rotation as a top spinning on the ground. revolving means if you tied a string to the top and spun it around your body in a circle. (hope this helps:)
