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

An unknown substance has a mass of 0.125 kg and an initial temperature of 95.0°C. The substance is then dropped into a calorimet
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity:

"Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. The specific heat capacity of a material is a physical property."

Use this equation:

mcΔT = ( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT'

Rearranging the equation to find the specific heat (c) you get this:

c = (( mw c + mAl cAl )  ΔT') / (mΔT)

c = (( 0.285 (4186) + (0.15)(900)) (32 -25.1)) / ((0.125) (95 - 32))

c = 1163.34 J/kg.°C

An astronaut on the moon places a package on a scale and finds its weight to be 10. N. () What would the weight of the package
jeka94

Answer:

(a) 61.25 N

(b) 6.25 kg

(c) 6.25 Kg

Explanation:

Weight on moon = 10 N

Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s^2

Let m be the mass of the package.

(a) Weight on earth = mass x acceleration due to gravity on earth

Weight on earth = 6.25 x 9.8 = 61.25 N

(b) Weight on moon = mass x acceleration due to gravity on moon

10 = m x 1.6

m = 6.25 kg

(c) Mass of the package remains same as mass does not change, so the mass of package on earth is 6.25 kg.

Two cars cover the same distance in a straight line. Car a covers the distance at a constant velocity. Car b starts from rest an
Artyom0805 [142]

a) For the motion of car with uniform velocity we have , s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2, where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken a is the acceleration.

In this case s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, a =0 m/s^2

Substituting

       520 = u*223\\ \\u = 2.33 m/s

 The constant velocity of car a = 2.33 m/s

b) We have s = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, u =0 m/s

Substituting

      520 = 0*223+\frac{1}{2} *a*223^2\\ \\ a = 0.0209 m/s^2

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Substituting

        v = 0+0.0209*223 = 4.66 m/s

So final velocity of car b = 4.66 m/s

c) Acceleration = 0.0209 m/s^2

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
