Answer:

A. T=126N

B. T=63N

Explanation:

To determine the tension in each given blocks, we first determine the acceleration of each block. It obvious that each mass will move with the same acceleration since the string connecting them is massless.

Hence using the equation of force we have

F=ma

Where m=total mass of blocks,

a=acceleration

F= force applied in this case the tension in the string.

For a 134 identical masses with an applied force of 134N, the acceleration of each mass can be computed as

134=134m*a

a=134/134m

a=(1/m )m/s²

a. To calculate the tension in the string between the 126 and 127 block, we use the equation below

T=ma

Since the number of blocks before the string is 126, we multiply the mass of each block by 126.

Hence the tension can be computed as

T=126m*a

Since a=1/m then

T=126m*1/m

T=126N

B.To calculate the tension in the string between the 63 and 64 block, we use the equation below

T=ma

Since the number of blocks before the string is 63, we multiply the mass of each block by 63.

Hence the tension can be computed as

T=63m*a

Since a=1/m then

T=63m*1/m

T=63N

When NASA was communicating with astronauts on the Moon, the time from sending on the Earth to receiving on the moon was 1.33 s.
frez [133]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of movement description, which determine the velocity, such as the displacement of a particle as a function of time, that is to say

v = \frac{x}{t}\rightarrow x = v*t

Where,

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

t = Time

Our values are given as,

v=3*10^8m/s

t = 1.33 s

Replacing we have that,

x=v*t

x=(3*10^8)(1.33)

x = 399'000.000m

Therefore the distance from Earth to the Moon is 399.000 km

An aerobatic airplane pilot experiences weightlessness as she passes over the top of a loop-the-loop maneuver. the acceleration
Yanka [14]
The acceleration due to gravity serves as the centripetal acceleration of the objects that orbits the Earth. The centripetal acceleration due to gravity is calculated through the equation,

    a = v²/r

where v is the speed and r is the radius. Substituting the known values to the equation,

   9.8 m/s² = (420 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 18000 m or equal to 18 km.

<em>Answer: 18 km</em>

On a planet where g = 10.0 m/s2 and air resistance is negligible, a sled is at rest on a rough inclined hill rising at 30°. The
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Explanation:

a is the acceleration

μ is the coefficient of friction

Acceleration of the object is given by

a = g (\sin  \theta -\mu \cos \theta)\\\\=10( \sin 30 - 0.4 \cos 30)\\\\=10(0.5-0.3464)\\\\=1.54m/s^2

Velocity at the bottom

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\u=0\\\\v^2=2as\\\\=2*1.54*8\\\\=24.576\\\\v=4.96m/s

after travelling 4m , its velocity becomes 0

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\frac{0-u^2}{2s}

a=\frac{-(-4.96)^2}{2*4} \\\\=-3.075m/s^2

Coefficient of kinetic friction

μ = F/N

=\frac{ma}{mg} \\\\=\frac{3.075}{10} \\\\=0.31

Therefore, the Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.31

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements
astraxan [27]

<em></em>

Answer:

<u><em>The aufbau principle</em></u>

<u />

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity</em></u>

Explanation:

<u><em>The aufbau principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers.  Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:</em></u>

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible.  Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy  the same orbital.
