A bowler throws a bowling ball of radius R = 11 cm down the lane with initial speed v₀ = 7.5 m/s. The ball is thrown in such a w

salantis [7]

Answer:

a) t = 0.74s

b) D = 4.76m

c) Vf = 5.35m/s

Explanation:

The ball starts rolling when Vf = ωf*R.

We know that:

Vf = Vo - a*t

ωf = ωo + α*t

With a sum of forces on the ball:

$Ff = m*a$

$\mu*N = m*a$

$\mu*m*g = m*a$

$a=\mu*g=2.9m/s^2$

With a sum of torque on the ball:

$Ff*R = I*\alpha$

$\mu*m*g*R = 2/5*m*R^2*\alpha$

$\alpha=5/2*\mu*g/R=65.9rad/s^2$

Replacing both accelerations:

$Vo - a*t=\alpha*t*R$

$7.5 - 2.9*t=65.9*t*0.11$

t=0.74s

The distance will be:

$D = Vo*t-1/2*a*t^2$

$D = 4.76m$

Final velocity:

$Vf=Vo-a*t$

Vf=5.35m/s

PHYSICS PLEASE HELP

WINSTONCH [101]

Explanation:

Newton’s First Law of Motion - if an object is at rest, it takes un-

balanced forces to make it move. Conversely, if an object is moving

it takes an unbalanced force to make it change it’s direction or speed.

Newton was the first to see that such apparently diverse phenomena as a satellite moving near the Earth's surface and the planets orbiting the Sun operate by the same principle: Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration, or F=ma.

4.) An apartment building is on fire and a guy is trapped on the fire escape ladder. There is a

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for him to fall 7m.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7 − 4.9 t²

t ≈ 1.20 s

Now find the velocity he needs to travel 6.3m in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

6.3 = 0 + v₀ (1.20) + ½ (0) (1.20)²

v₀ ≈ 5.27 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the man must run with a speed of 5.3 m/s.

A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

v = 7934.2 m/s

Explanation:

Here the total energy of the Asteroid and the Earth system will remains conserved

So we will have

$-\frac{GMm}{r} + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we know that

$v_0 = 660 m/s$

$M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg$

$m = 5 \times 10^9 kg$

$r = 4 \times 10^9 m$

$R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m$

now from above formula

$GMm(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$2GM(\frac{1}{R} - \frac{1}{r}) + v_0^2 = v^2$

now plug in all data

$2(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})(\frac{1}{6.37 \times 10^6} - \frac{1}{4 \times 10^9}) + (660)^2 = v^2$

$v = 7934.2 m/s$
