Two boxes are connected to each other by a string as shown in the figure. The 10-n box slides without friction on the horizontal

table surface. The pulley is ideal and the string has negligible mass. What is true about the tension t in the string?

Answer:

T=7.4 N hence T<30 N

Explanation:

The figure is likely to be similar to the one attached. Writing the equation for forces we have

F-T=Fa/g where F is the force, T is tension, a is acceleration and g is acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the figures we have the first equation as

30 N - T = (30/9.81)a

Also, we know that T=F*a/g and substituting  10N for F we obtain the second equation as

T = (10/9.81)a

Adding the first and second equations we obtain

30 = 4.077471967

a Hence

a=\frac {30}{4.077471967}=7.3575 m/s^{2}

and T=a hence

T is approximately 7.4 N

Answer:

<h2>T < 30N</h2>

Explanation:

According to the figure, we have a system with 2 blocks attached by a string which passes through a pulley. In this case, we have to use Newton't law to find the tension of the string. We need to analyse each block to know what vertical and horizontal forces are present in each of them.

10N block:

Horizontal forces: Tension (T).

Vertical forces: Weight (W).

There's no friction and knowing this values, we can find the mass using: W = mg.

So, m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{10}{9.8} =1.02 kg.

30N block:

There's no horizontal forces because the block is suspended.

Vertical forces: Tension and Weight.

We can calculate the mass using W = mg

So, m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{30}{9.8} = 3.06 kg.

Now, we analyse the system, to do so, we need to express vertical forces interactions and horizontal forces interactions:

According to second Newton's Law \sum F = ma.

So, vertically for 30N block: \sum F_{y} = W_{30} - T=ma

Then, horizontally for 10N block: \sum F_{x}= T = ma

So, \left \{ {{W_{30} -T=m_{30} a} \atop {T=m_{10} a}} \right..

Now we have to solve this system replacing <em>a </em>from the second equation into the first one:

a=\frac{T}{m_{10} }

W_{30} - T = m_{30}(\frac{T}{m_{10} }   )

Replacing all values and solving for T:

30N - T = 3.06kg\frac{T}{1.02kg} \\30N - T = 3T\\30N=3T + T\\30N = 4T\\\frac{30N}{4} =T = 7.5N

Therefore, the tension in the string has a force of 7.5N, which is less than 30N.

Among the options we have:

  • T=10N
  • T=20N
  • T<30N
  • T>30N

A vehicle that goes from 5m/s to 45m/s in 8s. what is its acceleration?
GaryK [48]

Answer: 5m/s^2

Explanation:

V= 45m/s

U = 5m/s

t = 8s

a =?

V = u + at

45 = 5 + 8a

8a = 45 — 5

8a = 40

a = 40 / 8

a = 5m/s^2

The force of gravity acting on an object is 300 N. What is the mass of the object?btw u’ll get 25 points if u answer
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

m=30.581kg

<em>If you use 10m/s/s for your value of g then the answer is 30kg)</em>

Explanation:

Assuming this is happening on earth, acceleration due to gravity (g) is 9.81m/s/s.

Force of gravity is the acceleration due to gravity multiplied by its mass:

F=mg

300=(9.81)m

m=30.581kg

<em>If you use 10m/s/s for your value of g then the answer is 30kg)</em>

Review. A rechargeable battery of mass 15.0 g delivers an average current of 18.0 mA to a portable DVD player at 1.60 V for 2.40
xenn [34]

The internal energy produced in the battery during one charge-discharge cycle is 7.8 J.

<h3>What is the energy?</h3>

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Now we can tell about the energy of the charge from the information provide;

Mass of the battery = 15.0 g

Current = 18.0 mA

Voltage =  1.60 V

Time (t1) =  2.40 h

Time (t2) = 4.2 h

Recall that internal energy = energy of the charge = 2.3 * 1.8 * 10^-2 * 4.2 * 60 = 7.8 J

Hence the internal energy produced in the battery during one charge-discharge cycle is 7.8 J.
