- The figure below shows a massless string wound around a spool of radius r. The mass falls with a constant acceleration, a. What is the equation for y in terms of θ and r? What is the equation for v in terms of ω and r? What is the equation for a in terms of α and r? Start from the expression for uniform acceleration in the y-direction for the falling mass and clearly show any steps or substitutions you make.arrow_forwardDirections: Write TRUE is the statement is correct but if it is false, change the underlined words with the correct answer. 1. A force is a push or pull 2. Force is a galar quantity 3. The unit of force is Newton (N) 4. In general, a body can have several forces acting on it at the same time 5. Inertial frame of reference are reference frame where Newton's First law are observable. 6. Another effect of a balanced force, equilibrium, is that a body accelerates. 7. The heavier the object, the lesser the inertia. 8. Forces acting on a body are unbalanced if the resultant force is not zero 9. In an inertial reference frame, No forces should be exerted within the frame. 10. Normal force is lateral in nature. П.

Analysis and Questions: 1. Set the parameters as follows: vo = 0, k = 0.4000, s = 0.5000, g = 9.810 m/s2, m = 5.000 kg. Predict: In order to keep the block at rest on the incline plane, the angle of the incline plane can’t exceed what value? Draw a free body diagram of the block and show your calculation. 2. Set the angle to your predicted value (keep proper significant figures otherwise it will affect your simulation result). Does the simulation result match your prediction? If it doesn’t, redo your calculation and modify your answer to question 1. Keep testing until the simulation result matches your prediction. 3. Will increase or decrease the mass of the block affect your prediction to question 1? Explain.arrow_forward
