Multiple-Object Accelerating Systems: As shown in the figure, two blocks are connected by a very light string, and the upper blo

ck is pulled upward by a different string. The masses of the upper and lower blocks are m1 = 300 g and m2 = 240 g, respectively. The tension in the upper string is equal to 6.6 N.a) Find the acceleration of the system.b) Find the tension in the lower rope.

Part A.

To get the acceleration of the system we consider the two blocks as a single mass. For this situation we have, from Newton's second law, that:

T-W=(m_1+m_2)a

where T is the tension in the upper sting and W is the weight of the system. Solving the equation for a we have:

\begin{gathered} 6.6-(0.3+0.24)(9.8)=(0.3+0.24)a \\ a=\frac{6.6-(0.3+0.24)(9.8)}{(0.3+0.24)} \\ a=2.42 \end{gathered}

Therefore the acceleration of the system is 2.42 meters per second per second.

Part B.

Now, that we have the acceleration of the system we analyze the lower block individually; for this block the equation of motion is:

T^{\prime}-W^{\prime}=m_2a

where T' is the tension in the lower rope, W' is the weight of the lower block and m2 is its mass. Solving for the tension we have that:

\begin{gathered} T^{\prime}=(0.24)(9.8)+(0.24)(2.42) \\ T^{\prime}=2.93 \end{gathered}

Therefore the tension in the lower rope is 2.93 N

An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. An astronaut lands on the rock to bury explosive charges that will blow the ast
forsale [732]

Answer:

The maximum radius the asteroid can have for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up is approximately 1782.45 meters

Explanation:

Whereby the height the astronaut can jump on Earth = 0.500 m, we have the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

Where;

v = The final velocity

u = The initial velocity

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

h = The height she jumps

At the maximum height, h_{max} = 0.500 m, she jumps, v = 0, therefore, we have;

0² = u² - 2·g·h_{max}

u² = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5 = 9.8

u = √9.8 ≈ 3.13

u = 3.13 m/s

Her initial jumping velocity ≈ 3.13 m/s

Escape velocity, v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M}{r} }

Where;

M = The mass of the asteroid

G = The Universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

r = The radius of the asteroid

The average density of the Earth = 5515 kg/m³

The mass of the asteroid, M = Density × Volume = 5515 kg/m³× 4/3 × π × r³

The escape velocity, she has, v_e ≈ 3.13 m/s is therefore;

3.13 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \times 5515 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^3}{r} } = r \times \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}

r = \dfrac{3.13}{ \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}} \approx 1782.45

Therefore, the maximum radius of the asteroid can have for her jumping velocity to be equal to the escape velocity for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up = r ≈ 1782.45 meters.

Density is a physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume. A. Calculate the density, in g/mL , of a liqu
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) 0.660 g/ml

B) 1.297 ml

C) 0.272 g

Explanation:

Every substance, body or material has mass and volume, however the mass of different substances occupy different volumes.  This is where density D appears as a  physical characteristic property of matter that establishes a relationship between the mass m of a body or substance and the volume V it occupies:

D=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2 /><h2>Answer A:</h2>

Here the mass is m=0.155g and th volume V=0.000235L=0.235mL

Solving (1) with these values:

D=\frac{0.155g}{0.235mL} (2)

D=0.660g/mL (3)

<h2>Answer B:</h2>

In this case the mass of a sample is m=4.71g and its density is D=3.63g/mL.

Isolating V from (1):

V=\frac{m}{D} (4)

V=\frac{4.71g}{3.63g/mL} (5)

V=1.297mL (5)

<h2>Answer C:</h2>

In this case the volume of a sample is V=0.293mL and its density is D=0.930g/mL.

Isolating m from (1):

m=D.V (6)

m=(0.930g/mL)(0.293mL) (7)

m=0.272g (8)
