A uniform solid sphere rolls down an incline.
(a) What must be the incline angle if the linear acceleration of the center of the sphere is to have a magnitude of 0.10g?
(b) If a frictionless block were to slide down the incline at that angle, would its acceleration magnitude be more than, less than, or equal to 0.10g? Why?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

a.Linear acceleration,a=0.1 g

Moment of inertia of solid sphere,

We know that

Using the formula

b.When a frictionless block were to slide down the incline at that angle then the motion of block will be linear .There is no rotation.

When the sphere is moving without rotation then, the linear speed of sphere will be larger.

When the linear speed is larger then, the linear acceleration will be larger.

Hence, the magnitude of acceleration will be more.

a) electrical > light, sound, and thermal< < < <

) the mechanical energy of the firefighter moving.< < < < a) electrical > light, sound, and thermal< < < <

c) both a and b.

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.
