Bryanna · Answer 1

Ball 1 = 3.14s, ball 2 = 8.11s

Explanation:

ω₁ = 23.2rad/s

ω₂ = 14.2 rad/s

r₁ = 0.0663m

r₂ = 0.0488m

S = 8.57m

u = 1.19m/s

Assuming conveyor belt is moving towards the finish line,

W = v + u

v = ωr

ωr + u

(ω₁ * r₁) + v = (23.9 * 0.0663) + 1.19 = 2.728m/s

Angular velocity (ω) = distance moved (s) / time taken to complete 1 revolution

ω = s / t

t = s / ω

t = 8.57 / 2.728

t = 3.14s

For ball 2, the ball starts 5.54m from the finish line,

W = v + o (since there's no longer initial velocity)

ωr = v

V = 14.2 * 0.0488

V = 0.683 m/s

Velocity = distance / time

V = s / t

t = s / v

t = 5.54 / 0.683

t = 8.11s
