A 2kg mass is suspended on a rope that wraps around a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling with a mass of 0.01kg and a ra

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless is approximately 9.81 N·m

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object = 2 kg

The friction between the rope and the pulley = 0

The mass of the rope, $m_r$ = 0.5 kg

The mass of the pulley, $m_p$ = 0.01 kg

The radius of the pulley, r = 0.25 m

The torque on the pulley, τ = I·α = F × D

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless, τ = F × D

Where;

F = The force acting on the pulley rope = The weight of the mass ≈ 2 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 19.62 N

D = The diameter of the pulley = 2×r = 2 × 0.25 m = 0.5 m

Therefore;

τ = 19.62 N × 0.5 m = 9.81 N·m

The torque on the pulley, when the system is motionless, τ ≈ 9.81 N·m.

Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera

Fantom [35]

In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed $v_f = 100 m/s$ , its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
$W= K_f - K_i = K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J$

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
$W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J$
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is $-W_f$ :
$W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J$

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W$

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
$P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp$
