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?

Solutions

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

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...
