A 34 kg bowling ball with a radius of 22 cm starts from rest at the top of an incline 4.4 m in height. Find the translational speed of the bowling ball after it has rolled to the bottom of the incline. (Assume that the ball is a uniform solid sphere.)The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m/s.

7.85 m/s.

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 34 Kg

radius, r = 0.22 cm

height of the inclination, h = 4.4 m

transnational velocity = ?

Moment of inertia of bowling ball,

Using conservation of energy

We know that

Speed of the bowling ball is equal to 7.85 m/s.

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
