The apparent motion of the sun, caused by the rotation of the Earth about its axis, changes the angle at which the direct component of light will strike the Earth. From a fixed location on Earth, the sun appears to move throughout the sky.

A solid cylinder of mass 20kg rolls without slipping down a 30° slope. Find the acceleration and the frictional force needed to
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

F = 32.7 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling straight down.

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the slope.

Friction force F pushing parallel up the slope.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − F = ma

Sum of torques about the cylinder's axis:

∑τ = Iα

Fr = ½ mr²α

F = ½ mrα

Since the cylinder rolls without slipping, a = αr.  Substituting:

F = ½ ma

Two equations, two unknowns (a and F).  Substituting the second equation into the first:

mg sin θ − ½ ma = ma

Multiply both sides by 2/m:

2g sin θ − a = 2a

Solve for a:

2g sin θ = 3a

a = ⅔ g sin θ

a = ⅔ (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)

a = 3.27 m/s²

Solving for F:

F = ½ ma

F = ½ (20 kg) (3.27 m/s²)

F = 32.7 N

A 3,162-kg truck moving with a velocity of 12 m/s to the East hits a 510-kg parked car. The impact causes the car to be set in m
Musya8 [376]

Given:

The mass of the truck is m1 = 3162 kg

The speed of the truck is v1i = 12 m/s in East

The mass of the parked car is m2 = 510 kg

The speed of car is v2i = 0 m/s

The speed of car after collision is v2f = 24 m/s in East

To find the speed of the truck after collision.

Explanation:

The final velocity of the truck will be

\begin{gathered} m1v1i+m2v2i=m1v1f+m2v2f \\ v1f\text{ =}\frac{m1v1i-m2v2f+m2v2i}{m1} \\ =\frac{3162\times12-510\times24+510\times0}{3162} \\ =8.129\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the speed of the truck after collision is 8.129 m/s
