When calculating Work of a ball rolling down a ramp, you could use W=Fd and W=changein"K"to find the work done on that ball. However what if you are not given given a force or acceleration? How wpuld tou find the Work? how would you calculate acceleration?

Expert Solution

In a ramp, when the ball is rolling down, workdone by gravity = potential energy difference between point A and B

workdone = ( m g h ) ..................(1)

If workdone = force distance = F AC ................(2)

if force F = mass acceleration = m a and AC = h/sin

By equating (1) and (2), we have, F AC = m a ( h/sin ) = m g h ............(3)

Hence we get from above equation, acceleration a = g sin

Part 3: Ball rolling down ramp: Loss of energy due to (you figure out what) In the projectile motion lab, a ball was placed at the top of a ramp. In one case, its initial height was 12.0 cm above the table top, and it rolled off the table with velocity v = 1.12 m/s. Compute the initial potential energy relative to the height of the table top, final kinetic energy as it leaves the table top, and % energy lost. Mass...

1. Ball rolling down an incline :Later you will be measuring the acceleration of the rolling ball down the incline for several different incline angles, and we want to compare with the theoretical expected value. The best way to show this is to plot the acceleration on the vertical axis, and the value of sin(θ) on the horizontal axis, as shown on the plot below. Draw in the expected theoretical variation of the acceleration on this plot. 2. A 0.200...

I got the following equation from the lesson's summary: P(X=k) = (e^-µ µ^K) / k! When calculating the probability while answering the homework problems I always seemed to be off by a very small amount. The only explanation given under the problem after hitting show answer is 1 - P(x=0) -P(x=1) - ... up until x = the number given in the question. I am confused where this equation or these types of calculations are coming from and would love some...
