A 10 kg monkey climbs up a massless rope that runs over a frictionless tree limb and back down to a 15 kg package on the ground.
pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 4,9 m/s2

B. 2,0 m/s2

C. 120 N

Explanation:

In the image, 1 is going to represent the monkey and 2 is going to be the package.  Let a_mín be the minimum acceleration that the monkey should have in the upward direction, so the package is barely lifted. Apply Newton’s second law of motion:

\sum F_y=m_1*a_m_i_n = T-m_1*g

If the package is barely lifted, that means that T=m_2*g; then:

\sum F_y =m_1*a_m_i_n=m_2*g-m_1*g

Solving the equation for a_mín, we have:

a_m_i_n=((m_2-m_1)/m_1)*g = ((15kg-10kg)/10kg)*9,8 m/s^2 =4,9 m/s^2

Once the monkey stops its climb and holds onto the rope, we set the equation of Newton’s second law as it follows:

For the monkey: \sum F_y = m_1*a \rightarrow T-m_1*g=m_1*a

For the package: \sum F_y = m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g - T = m_2*a

The acceleration a is the same for both monkey and package, but have opposite directions, this means that when the monkey accelerates upwards, the package does it downwards and vice versa. Therefore, the acceleration a on the equation for the package is negative; however, if we invert the signs on the sum of forces, it has the same effect. To be clearer:

For the package: \sum F_y = -m_2*a \rightarrow T-m2*g=-m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g -T=m_2 *a

We have two unknowns and two equations, so we can proceed. We can match both tensions and have:

m_1*a+m_1*g=m_2*g-m_2*a

Solving a, we have

(m_1+m_2)*a =(m_2 - m1)*g\\\\a=((m_2-m_1)/(m_1+m_2))*g \rightarrow a=((15kg-10kg)/(10kg+15kg))*9,8 m/s^2\\\\a= 2,0 m/s^2

We can then replace this value of a in one for the sums of force and find the tension T:

T = m_1*a+m_1*g \rightarrow T=m_1*(a+g)\\\\T = 10kg*(2,0 m/s^2+9,8 m/s^2) \\\\T = 120 N

Why is the answer B?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The center of mass lies on a line that joins position 4 of one start with position 4 of the other star.  The shortest distance between these two points will produce the largest velocity. You are using F = m v^2/R

Small R = large force.

Large Force = increased speed.

The masses don't have any effect on the outcome: they remain constant.

It is generally seen that, when a substance absorbs heat energy, its heating curve shows two plateaus. Which phenomenon is indic
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

Change of phase.

Explanation:

When the physical state in which a substance exists in nature changes to another physical state such as a change from solid state to a liquid stat or from a liquid state to a gaseous state, the substance is said to have undergone a phase change, or phase transformation.

The state of a substance will change, depending on the surrounding temperature and the applied pressure and the energy required for the substance to change its state is known as latent heat.

The observed plateaus are periods the latent heat is absorbed to completely change the phase of the substance.

3. Hahn determined that barium (atomic number 56) was one of the elements created when a uranium atom (atomic number 92) split .
creativ13 [48]

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium.

<h3>What is the atomic number?</h3>

<em>Atomic</em> number is a characteristic associated with an element and indicates its number of protons, when a fision occurs, the total number protons is conserved.

Thus, the fission of uranium is led by two elements with <em>atomic</em> numbers 56 and 36. According to a periodic table, those <em>atomic</em> numbers are associated to elements Barium (Ba) and Krypton (Kr), respectively.

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium. \blacksquare
