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

Mrs. Waid drives her car up Route 8 at 80mph. If her car weighs 2500 lbs,
Anvisha [2.4K]

1.358 J is the kinetic energy of the car driven by Mrs. Waid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

Velocity at which Mrs. Waid drives her car = 80 mph

In order to convert mph (meter per hour) into mps (meter per second),

         \frac{80}{3600}=0.0222 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Car weighs 2500 lbs, means mass of the car, m = 2500 lbs

I kilo gram = 2.20462 pound

Therefore, 1 pound (lb)=  0.45359237 kilograms (kg).

To converting pounds into kilogram,

               \frac{2500}{0.45359237}=5511.55 \mathrm{kg}

As we know, the kinetic energy can be defined as directly proportionate to the object’s mass (m) and square of its velocity (v). The expression can be given as below,

               \text { kinetic energy }(K . E)=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}

By substituting the given values, we get

              \text { kinetic energy }(K . E)=\frac{1}{2} \times 5511.55 \times 0.0222^{2}

              \text { kinetic energy }(K . E)=\frac{1}{2} \times 5511.55 \times 0.00049

              kinetic energy (K . E)=1.358 joule

disa [49]

Answer:

The elements carbon and oxygen form molecules that each contain one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms is TRUE.

Explanation:

The elements carbon and oxygen form molecules that each contain one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms is true because a compound can only be formed from the combination of two or more elements but not from one element.

The molecule formed from one carbon element (C) and 2 oxygen elements (O) is CO2. CO2 which is known as carbon(IV)oxide is a compound which is made up of carbon and oxygen elements.
