If a pizza is round like a ball it will roll off a cliff.If it’s just flat and round it won’t.
<span>Since there is no friction, conservation of energy gives change in energy is zero
Change in energy = 0
Change in KE + Change in PE = 0
1/2 x m x (vf^2 - vi^2) + m x g x (hf-hi) = 0
1/2 x (vf^2 - vi^2) + g x (hf-hi) = 0
(vf^2 - vi^2) = 2 x g x (hi - hf)
Since it starts from rest vi = 0
Vf = squareroot of (2 x g x (hi - hf))
For h1, no hf
Vf = squareroot of (2 x g x (hi - hf))
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x 30)
Vf = squareroot of 588.6
Vf = 24.26
For h2
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x (30 – 12))
Vf = squareroot of (9.81 x 36)
Vf = squareroot of 353.16
Vf = 18.79
For h3
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x (30 – 20))
Vf = squareroot of (20 x 9.81)
Vf = 18.79</span>
Answer:
Decreases to half.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial mass (m₁) = m
Initial force (F₁) = F
Initial acceleration (a₁) =?
Final mass (m₂) = ½m
Final force (F₂) = ¼F
Final acceleration (a₂) =?
Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:
F₁ = m₁a₁
F = ma₁
Divide both side by m
a₁ = F / m
Next, we shall determine a₂.
F₂ = m₂a₂
¼F = ½ma₂
2F = 4ma₂
Divide both side by 4m
a₂ = 2F / 4m
a₂ = F / 2m
Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:
a₁ = F / m
a₂ = F / 2m
a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁
a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m
a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F
a₂ / a₁ = ½
Cross multiply
a₂ = ½a₁
From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration
