A 5.0 kg block hangs from the ceiling by a mass-less rope. A Second block with a mass of 10.0 kg is attached to the first block

and hands below it on another piece of mass-less rope. What is the tension in the first rope? And what is the tension in the second rope?

The first rope's tension supports both masses:

<em>T</em> - (5.0 kg + 10.0 kg) <em>g</em> = 0 ===> <em>T</em> = 147 N

The second rope's tension supports the second mass:

<em>T</em> - (10.0 kg) <em>g</em> = 0 ===> <em>T</em> = 98 N

The tension in the first and second rope are; 147 Newton and 98 Newton respectively.

Given the data in the question

Mass of first block; $m_1 = 5.0kg$

Mass of second block, $m_2 =10kg$

Tension on first rope; $T_1 =\ ?$

Tension on second rope; $T_2 =\ ?$

To find the Tension in each of the ropes, we make use of the equation from Newton's Second Laws of Motion:

$F = m\ *\ a$

Where F is the force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration ( In this case the block is under gravity. Hence ''a" becomes acceleration due to gravity $g = 9.8m/s^2$ )

For the First Rope

Total mass hanging on it; $m_T = m_1 + m_2 = 5.0kg + 10.0kg = 15.0kg$

So Tension of the rope;

$F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 15.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 147 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 147N$

Therefore, the tension in the first rope is 147 Newton

For the Second Rope

Since only the block of mass 10kg is hang from the second, the tension in the second rope will be;

$F = m\ * \ g\\\\F = 10.0kg \ * 9.8m/s^2\\\\F = 98 kg.m/s^2\\\\F = 98N$

Therefore, the tension in the second rope is 98 Newton

find the time taken, if the speed of a train increased from 72 km/hr to 90 km/hr for 234 km. leave your answer in seconds

Airida [17]

Answer:

Time taken = 10400 s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the train, $u=72\textrm{ km/h}=72\times \frac{5}{18}=20\textrm{ m/s}$

Final speed of the train, $v=90\textrm{ km/h}=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25\textrm{ m/s}$

Displacement of the train, $S=234\textrm{ km}=234\times 1000=234000\textrm{ m}$

Using Newton's equation of motion,

$v - u = at\\a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Now, using Newton's equation of motion for displacement,

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2aS$

Now, plug in the value of $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$ in the above equation. This gives,

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2\times \frac{v-u}{t}\times S\\(v+u)(v-u)=\frac{2(v-u)S}{t}\\t=\frac{2(v-u)S}{(v+u)(v-u)}\\t=\frac{2S}{v+u}$

Now, plug in 234000 m for $S$ , 25 m/s for $v$ and 20 m/s for $u$ . Solve for $t$ .

$t=\frac{2S}{v+u}\\t=\frac{2\times 234000}{25+20}\\t=\frac{468000}{45}=10400\textrm{ s}$

Therefore, the time taken by the train is 10400 s.

Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 6.8 × 109 ω. (a) what is the current when the potential di

GenaCL600 [577]

(a) We can find the current flowing between the walls by using Ohm's law:
$I= \frac{\Delta V}{R}$
where $\Delta V=69 mV=0.069 V$ is the potential difference and $R=6.8\cdot 10^9 \Omega$ is the resistance. Substituting these values, we get
$I=1.01 \cdot 10^{-11} A$

(b) The total charge flowing between the walls is the product between the current and the time interval:
$Q=I \Delta t$
The problem says $\Delta t=0.86 s$ , so the total charge is
$Q=(1.01\cdot 10^{-11} A)(0.86 s)=8.73 \cdot 10^{-12} C$

The current consists of Na+ ions, each of them having a charge of $e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ . To find the number of ions flowing, we can simply divide the total charge by the charge of a single ion:
$N= \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{8.73 \cdot 10^{-12}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} = 5.45 \cdot 10^7 ions$
