ox A has a mass of 20.0kg and Box B has a mass of 30.0kg. Box A is placed on a horizontal surface that is frictionless and Box B

is hanging from a pulley by a rope connected to Box A. If the acceleration of the system is 5.88m/s2, what is the Tension T on Box A?

The tension on box A is 117.6 N

<h3 /><h3>What is Equilibrium of Forces ?</h3>

Equilibrium is a state of an object with respect to a given observable quantity during the time for which there is no change in that quantity.

A body is said to be in equilibrium when:

  • the body as a whole either remains at rest or moves in a straight line with constant speed.
  • the body is either not rotating at all or is rotating at a constant angular velocity.

Given that box A has a mass of 20.0kg and Box B has a mass of 30.0kg. Box A is placed on a horizontal surface that is frictionless and Box B is hanging from a pulley by a rope connected to Box A.

The tension in the rope will be the same.

Given that Box A is placed on a horizontal surface that is frictionless, that is,

T = ma .... (1)

Also,  Box B is hanging from a pulley by a rope connected to Box A. That is,

W - T = ma ...... (2)

Where W = mg

Since the acceleration of the system is 5.88m/s² which will be the same for the two equations, then the Tension T on Box A can be calculated by substituting acceleration and mass into equation (1)

T = 20 x 5.88

T = 117.6 N

Therefore, the tension on box A is 117.6 N

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 1.2×106 kg/s and falls 50.0 m. How much power is generated by the fal
quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

A 3.0-kg object moves to the right with a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides in a perfectly elastic collision with a 6.0-kg object mo
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of object 1, m₁ = 3 kg

Speed of object 1, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of object 2, m₂ = 6 kg

Speed of object 2, v₂ = -1 m/s (it is moving in left)

Since, the collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the system after the collision. Let it is E. So,

E=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_1^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (2\ m/s)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\ kg\times (-1\ m/s)^2

E = 9 J

So, the kinetic energy of the system after the collision is 9 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A box is placed on a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 1.05 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The box stops in 0.139 seconds, after moving 7.29cm (0.0729m) backwards relative to the belt.

Explanation:

As the box is initially at rest relative to the earth, it is moving backwards with a speed of 1.05m/s relative to the belt. Then, the frictional force acts on the box to make it stop relative to the belt. So, we first have to write the equations of motion of the box in each axis:

x: f_k=ma\implies a=\frac{f_k}{m} \\\\y: N-mg=0\implies N=mg

Since the frictional force f_k is equal to f_k=\mu_k N=\mu_k mg, then we have that the acceleration is:

a=\frac{\mu_k mg}{m}=\mu_k g

Now, from the definition of acceleration we get:

a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}\implies t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}

And, as the final velocity is zero because the box gets to a stop, we have:

t=-\frac{v_0}{a}=-\frac{v_0}{\mu_k g}

(Don't worry about the negative sign. It will disappear because the initial velocity is also negative, since we take the box initially moving backwards)

Then, plugging in the given values, we calculate the time:

t=-\frac{(-1.05m/s)}{0.770(9.81m/s^{2})}=0.139s

In words, the time the box takes to stop sliding relative to the belt is 0.139s.

The displacement of the box in this time, is given by the kinematics formula:

v^{2}=v_0^{2}+2ax\implies x=-\frac{v_0^{2}}{2\mu_kg}

Finally, we calculate the displacement:

x=-\frac{(1.05m/s)^{2} }{2(0.770)(9.81m/s^2)}=-0.0729m=-7.29cm

This means that the box moves 7.29cm backwards relative to the belt.
