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

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.

Your friend, who is in a field 100 meters away from you, kicks a ball towards you with an initial velocity of 16 m/s. Assuming t
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Time, t = 5.355 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 100 m

Initial velocity = 16 m/s

Deceleration = 1 m/s²

To find the time, we would use the second equation of motion;

But since the ball is decelerating, it's acceleration would be negative.

S = ut + ½at²

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

100 = 16t - 0.5t²

200 = 32t - t²

t² + 32t - 200 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula;

The quadratic equation formula is;

x = \frac {-b \; \pm \sqrt {b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

x = \frac {-32 \; \pm \sqrt {32^{2} - 4*1*(-200)}}{2*1}

x = \frac {-32\pm \sqrt {1024 - (-800)}}{2}

x = \frac {-32 \pm \sqrt {1024 + 800}}{2}

x = \frac {-32 \pm \sqrt {1824}}{2}

x = \frac {-32 \pm 42.71}{2}

x_{1} = \frac {-32 + 42.71}{2}

x_{1} = \frac {10.71}{2}

x1 = 5.355

We do not need the negative value of x, so we proceed.

Therefore, time = 5.355 seconds

Explain what happens to a light wave that hits the surface of a pool.
brilliants [131]

A light wave that hits the surface of a pool gets refracted and gives us an apparent image of the surface of the pool, following the concepts of refraction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let’s recall the concept of refraction when a light wave passes from medium of rarer to denser. There is a change in the speed of light while travelling from medium of rarer to denser.

There can be a change in the direction as well. This property is known as “Refraction” and the best example to see refraction is watching the surface of a clean pond, lake or pool.

When the light travels from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (water), it changes its angle of direction and gets refracted and hit to our eye lenses. With this, we see the surface of the pool at a changed angle and it seems to be a bit shallow than its original depth.

Question 26 suppose that a constant force is applied to an object. newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of
ololo11 [35]

<span>The answer is 6 kg the mass of the second object. By using Inversely proportional formula it means that (14 kg) (3 m/s</span>²<span>) = M (7 m/s</span>²<span>). Where M is the mass of the second object. For the Newton’s second law of motion formula which is: Force = mass x acceleration, we have:</span>

<span>F = (14 kg) (3 m/s</span>²<span>) = 42 N</span>

 

Therefore:

<span>42 N = M (7 m/s</span>²)

<span>M = (42 N) / (7 m/s</span>²<span>)</span>

M = 6 kg mass of the second object
