Answer:

vcyl / vsph = 1.05

Explanation:

  • The kinetic energy of a rolling object can be expressed as the sum of a translational kinetic energy plus a rotational kinetic energy.
  • The traslational part can be written as follows:

       K_{trans} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cm} ^{2}  (1)

  • The rotational part can be expressed as follows:

       K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* I* \omega ^{2}  (2)

  • where I = moment of Inertia regarding the axis of rotation.
  • ω = angular speed of the rotating object.
  • If the object has a radius R, and it rolls without slipping, there is a fixed relationship between the linear and angular speed, as follows:

       v = \omega * R (3)

  • For a solid cylinder, I = M*R²/2 (4)
  • Replacing (3) and (4)  in (2), we get:

       K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cmc} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2}  (5)

  • Adding (5) and (1), we get the total kinetic energy for the solid cylinder, as follows:

       K_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2}  +\frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2}  =  \frac{3}{4}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2} (6)

  • Repeating the same steps for the spherical shell:

        I_{sph} = \frac{2}{3} * M* R^{2} (7)  

       K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{2}{3} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cms} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2}  (8)

      K_{sph} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cms} ^{2}  +\frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2}  =  \frac{5}{6}* M* v_{cms} ^{2} (9)

  • Since we know that both masses are equal each other, we can simplify (6) and (9), cancelling both masses out.
  • And since we also know that both objects have the same kinetic energy, this means that (6) are (9) are equal each other.
  • Rearranging, and taking square roots on both sides, we get:

       \frac{v_{cmc}}{v_{cms}} =\sqrt{\frac{10}{9} } = 1.05 (10)

  • This means that the solid cylinder is 5% faster than the spherical shell, which is due to the larger moment of inertia for the shell.

The flow of electrons through a circuit is measured in which of the following units? A. electrical pressure B. amperes C. volts
damaskus [11]

The total quantity of electrons that have flowed through a circuit is a
quantity of charge, measured in Coulombs, or in Ampere-seconds.

The <em><u>rate</u></em> of flow of electrons, or more accurately the rate of flow of
the charge on them, is electrical current.  Its unit is the Ampere. 
1 Ampere is 1 Coulomb of charge per second.

A support crossbeam on a high speed train is made from a titanium rod that has a length of 0.650m when measured by an observer o
Vilka [71]

Answer:

A) The crossbeam is moving relative to the observer on the platform so the height appears contracted.

Explanation:

The observer on the train and the beam are in the same reference frame. That means observer on the train will measure the proper length of the beam not the contracted length . the observer is outside and the plank is in the moving system,it will appear to be moving.

Given the function f(x) = 8x3 − 3x2 − 5x 8, what part of the function indicates that the left and right ends point in opposite d
ale4655 [162]

Answer: The degree of the first term.

Explanation:

The function:

f(x) = 8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

The left and right ends would be indicated when x is changed to -x. When this is substituted, the change is indicated by the first term because only the degree of first term is odd.

Let the left hand side be donated by -x.

Then,

f(-x) =8(-x)^3-3(-x)^2-5(-x)^8\\ \Rightarrow f(-x)=-8x^3-3x^2-5x^8

Hence, the correct option is the degree of the first term indicates the left and right end points of the function.
