A 2 kg metal ball is rolling down a ramp which has 53 degree with ground. Calculate the acceleration of the ball. (CALCULATE TO THE FOURTH PLACE OF THE DECIMAL) & LIST UNITS
Added by Troy C.
Step 1
This can be found using the formula: F_parallel = m*g*sin(theta) where m is the mass of the ball, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and theta is the angle of the ramp (53 degrees). F_parallel = 2 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * sin(53 degrees) = 16.05 N Show more…

A solid sphere with a radius of 15 cm and a mass of 7 kg rolls without slipping down a 60° ramp. The coefficient of rolling friction between the sphere and the ramp is 0.03. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2) of the sphere as it rolls down the ramp?
