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

babymother [125]

Answer:

a) Vx = 1088m/s

b) Vy = -162.93m/s

c) 5246745J

Explanation:

Mass of unbroken body = 23kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Mass of first broken body, m1= 9.4kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Nass of 2nd broken body, m2 = 6.1kg

Its velocity long-lived X - axis = -550m/s

Mass of 3rd broken body = ?

m3 = (23 - 9.4 - 6.1)kg

m3 = 7.5kg

Let velocity along the x-axis = Vx

Let the velocity along the x-axis = Vy

Applying law of conservation of momentum along x-axis

a) m1×0 + m2×(-550) + m3×(Vx) =M × 130

9.4 × 0 + 6.1× (-550) + 7.5(Vx) = 23 ×130

0 + (-5170) + 7.5Vx = 2990

2990 + 5170 = 7.5Vx

8160 = 7.5Vx

Vx = 8160/7.5

Vx = 1088m/s

b) Aplying conservation of momentum along the x-axis

(m1×130) + (m2 × 0) + (m3× Vy) = 0

(9.4 × 130) + (6.1 ×550) + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 + 0 + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 = -7.5Vy

Vy = 1222/(-7.5)

Vy = -262.93m/s

c) The energy released or change in KE is given by:

1/2[(m1v1^2) + (m2v2^2) +(m3Vx^2) ]= MV^2

Change in KE = 1/2[ 9.4× 130^2 + 6.1 × 550^2 + 7.5 × 1088^2 ] - 1/2(23 × 130^2)

Change in KE = 1/2[158860 + 1845250 + 8878080] - 1/2[388700]

Change in KE = 5441095 - 194350

Change in KE = 5246745J

A child is riding a merry-go-round that is turning at 7.18 rpm. if the child is standing 4.65 m from the center of the merry-go-
Alisiya [41]
First we need to convert the angular speed from rpm to rad/s. Keeping in mind that 
1 rev= 2 \pi rad
1 min = 60 s
the angular speed is
\omega = 7.18  \frac{rev}{min} \cdot  \frac{2 \pi}{60} = 0.75 rad/s

And so now we can calculate the tangential speed of the child, which is the angular speed times the distance of the child from the center of the motion:
v= \omega r = (0.75 rad/s)(4.65 m)=3.50 m/s

A father is pulling his child on a sled in the snow. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force the father exerts on the sled is
viktelen [127]
That is because there are other forces like the friction forces that apply differently on both of them. The frictional forces applied to the sled are smaller than they are on the father, for example, so it's possible for him to pull it.
