Hi there!

We can use the conservation of angular momentum to solve.

L_i = L_f\\\\I\omega_i = I\omega_f

I = moment of inertia (kgm²)

ω = angular velocity (rad/sec)

Recall the following equations for the moment of inertia.

\text{Solid cylinder:} I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2\\\\\text{Object around center:} = MR^2

Begin by converting rev/sec to rad sec:


\frac{0.17rev}{s} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev} = 1.068 \frac{rad}{s}

According to the above and the given information, we can write an equation and solve for ωf.

1.068(\frac{1}{2}(34)(1.6)^2 + (79)(1.6)^2) = \omega_f(\frac{1}{2}(34)(1.6^2) + 79(0^2))\\\\\omega_f = \boxed{6.03 \frac{rad}{sec}}

A ball starts at rest and rolls down an inclined plane. The ball reaches 7.5 m/s in 3 seconds. What is the acceleration?
just olya [345]

Answer:

a=2.5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The ball starts at rest (vo=0) and rolls down an inclined plane that makes it reach a speed of vf=7.5 m/s in t=3 seconds.

The acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{7.5-0}{3}

\boxed{a=2.5\ m/s^2}

Answer:

1. Just because it is small doesn't mean it needs to be excluded. If that were the case I would've been out of my friend group a while ago

2. Look at it it's fricking beautiful (see attachment)

3. It is just a great planet I don't think there needs to be any reason given I meannn you agree?

4. There's no other reason needed it's fricking gorgeous and amazing it needs no other reason. It needs a freaking

opening announcement to announce the arrival of the gorgeouness.
