A student m1 = 71 kg runs towards his skateboard, which has a mass m2 = 2.8 kg and is d = 2.75 m ahead of him. He begins at rest

and accelerates at a constant rate of a = 0.65 m/s2. When he reaches the skateboard he jumps on it. What is the velocity of the student and skateboard in meters per second?

Answer:

The velocity of the student and skateboard together $=1.82\ ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of student $m_1=71\ kg$

Mass of skateboard $m_2=2.8\ kg$

Distance between student and skateboard $d=2.75\ m$

Acceleration of student $a=0.65\ ms^{-2}$

Finding velocity $v_1$ of the student before jumping on skateboard

Using equation of motion

$v_1^2=v_0^2+2ad$

here $v_0$ represents the initial velocity of the student which is $=0$ as he starts from rest.

So,

$v_1^2=0^2+2(0.65)(2.75)$

$v_1^2=3.575$

Taking square root both sides:

$\sqrt{v_1^2}=\sqrt[1.7875}$

∴ $v_1=1.89$

Finding velocity $v$ of student and skateboard.

Using law of conservation of momentum.

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

Where $v_2$ is initial velocity of skateboard which is $=0$ as it is at rest.

Plugging in values.

$71(1.89)+(2.8)(0)=(71+2.8)\ v$

$134.19=73.8\ v$

Dividing both sides by $73.8$

$\frac{134.19}{73.8}=\frac{73.8\ v}{73.8}$

∴ $v=1.82$

The velocity of the student and skateboard together $=1.82\ ms^{-1}$

What demonstrates the flow of energy and materials through

Tcecarenko [31]

A. Food chain

A food web also shows the flow of energy and materials through an ecosystem but in a complex web, not a single chain. A biogeochemical cycle does not deal with the flow of energy/materials through an ecosystem at all.

Determine a formula for the magnitude of the force F exerted on the large block (Mc) so that the mass Ma does not move relative

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force F is given by

F = ( $M_{a}$ + $M_{b}$ + $M_{c}$ ) *( $M_{b}$ *g/( $\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}$ ))

Explanation:

Given there are three blocks of masses $M_{a}$ , $M_{b}$ and $M_{c}$ (ref image in attachment)

When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by

F = ( $M_{a}$ + $M_{b}$ + $M_{c}$ ) *a ................(equation 1)

Also it is given that $M_{a}$ does not move with respect to $M_{c}$ , which gives tension T is exerted on pulley by $M_{a}$ only, Hence tension T is

T = $M_{a}$ *a ..........(equation 2)

There is also also tension exerted by $M_{b}$ . There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by

T = $M_{b}$ $\sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }$ ................(equation 3)

From equation 2 and 3, we get

$M_{a}$ *a = $M_{b}$ $\sqrt{a^{2} +g^{2} }$

Squaring both sides we get

$M_{a} ^{2}$ * $a^{2}$ = $M_{b} ^{2}$ * ( $a^{2}$ + $g^{2}$ )

$M_{a} ^{2}$ * $a^{2}$ = ( $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $a^{2}$ )+ ( $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $g^{2}$ )

( $M_{a} ^{2}$ - $M_{b} ^{2}$ ) * $a^{2}$ = $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $g^{2}$

$a^{2}$ = $M_{b} ^{2}$ * $g^{2}$ /( $M_{a} ^{2}$ - $M_{b} ^{2}$ )

Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a

a = $M_{b}$ *g/( $\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}$ )

Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get

F = ( $M_{a}$ + $M_{b}$ + $M_{c}$ ) *( $M_{b}$ *g/( $\sqrt{M_{a} ^{2}-M_{b} ^{2}}$ ))
