Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other on an Atwood machine (the blocks are connected by a string going over

a light pulley with no friction in the bearing). A person holds one of the blocks with her hand. When the system is released, the heavier block moves down with an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2 and the lighter object moves up with an acceleration of the same magnitude. Suppose that the lighter block has a mass of m1 = 100 g. Determine the mass m2.

Answer:211.11 gm

Explanation:

Given

mass of lighter block m_1=100 gm

mass of heavier  block is m_2

acceleration of system a=3.5 m/s^2

From diagram

for lighter block

T-m_1g=m_1a

T=m_1(g+a)

For heavier Block

m_2g-T=m_2a

T=m_2(g-a)

Equating Tension T

m_1(g+a)=m_2(g-a)

m_2=m_1\cdot \frac{g+a}{g-a}

m_2=m_1\cdot \frac{9.8+3.5}{9.8-3.5}

m_2=0.1\cdot 2.11

m_2=0.2111 kg

m_2=211.11 gm

Do the rock layers from the various locations that you investigated record evidence of an asteroid impact on Earth? Make a CLAIM
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.

Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.

What does this tell you about the direction and magnitude of the acceleration acting on the cannonball throughout its duration o
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Direction remains the same but velocity changes.

Explanation:

This tell us about the direction and magnitude of the acceleration acting on the cannonball throughout its duration of flight that its direction remains the same but its magnitude of the acceleration is continuously changing. The cannonball moves in the direction in which the cannon was fired while the velocity is highest after the fire but decreases when goes higher and when it comes back to the ground so its velocity increases against so we can say that both positive and negative acceleration occurs. Positive acceleration means increase in the magnitude of velocity whereas negative acceleration means decrease in velocity.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To answer this, we can use process of elimination.

B: This question states that all matter has gravity. This is not correct. All matter is *effected* by gravity, but we do not have gravity inside of us.

C: If this were the case, we would all be floating off into space.

D: Same issue as question B.
