A ball falls straight down through the air under the influence of gravity. There is a retarding force \(F\) on the ball with magnitude given by \(F=bv\), where \(v\) is the speed of the ball and \(b\) is a positive constant. The ball reaches a terminal velocity after a time \(t\). The magnitude of the acceleration at time \(t/2\) is

A solid sphere of mass [katex] 1.5 \, \text{kg} [/katex] and radius [katex] 15 \, \text{cm} [/katex] rolls without slipping down a [katex] 35^\circ[/katex] incline that is [katex] 7 \, \text{m} [/katex] long. Assume it started from rest. The moment of inertia of a sphere is [katex] I= \frac{2}{5}MR^2 [/katex].
A \(90 \, \text{kg}\) individual is cycling up a hill inclined at \(30^\circ\) on a \(12 \, \text{kg}\) bicycle. The hill is quite steep, and the coefficient of static friction is \(0.85\).

They then start descending from rest and travel \(9 \, \text{m}\) before firmly applying the brakes, causing the wheels to lock.

During the experiment, students collect data about the angular momentum of a rigid, uniform spinning wheel about an axle as a function of time, which was used to create the graph that is shown. A frictional torque is exerted on the wheel. A student makes the following statement about the data. “The frictional torque exerted on the wheel is independent of the wheel’s angular speed.” Does the data from the graph support the student’s statement? Justify your selection.
