Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass m_2 and the 4kg mass m_1. If the tension in the string is T then for the mass m_2

(1). T-m_2g=-m_2a <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass m_1

(2). T-m_1g =m_1a<em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for T in the 2nd equation we get:

T =m_1a+m_1g,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g

\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g

a = \dfrac{g}{9},

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.

what happens to a circuits resistance, voltage, and current when you increase the diameter of the wire in the circuit?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Resistance (R) decreases

Voltage (V) is constant

Current (I) increases

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing an equation relating resistance and diameter of a wire. This is given below:

R = ρL/A ......... (1)

A = πr² (since the wire is circular in shape)

r = d/2

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

Substitute the value of A into equation 1

R = ρL/A

R = ρL ÷ A

R = ρL ÷ πd²/4

R = ρL × 4/πd²

R = 4ρL /πd²

Where:

R is the resistance of the wire.

ρ is the resistivity of the wire.

L is the length of the wire.

A is the cross sectional area of the wire.

r is the radius.

d is the diameter of the wire

From equation (1) above, we can say that the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire. This implies that an increase in the diameter of the wire will result in a decrease of the resistance. Also, a decrease in the diameter of the wire will result in an increase in the resistance of the wire.

1. Since the diameter of the wire is increase, therefore, the resistance of the wire will decrease.

2. From ohm's law,

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V/I

Where:

R is the resistance

V is the voltage

I is the current

From the above equation, the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the current (I).

If we keep the voltage constant, this means that an increase in the resistance will lead to a decrease in the current. Also, a decrease in the resistance will lead to an increase in the current.

Since the resistance of the wire decrease, the current will increase.

From the illustrations made above, an increase in the diameter of the wire will lead to:

1. Decrease in resistance.

2. Voltage is constant.

3. Increase in current.

A 2.00-kg object A is connected with a massless string across a massless, frictionless pulley to a 3.00-kg object B. Object A re
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

  • tension: 19.3 N
  • acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  mass A = 2.0 kg

  mass B = 3.0 kg

  θ = 40°

<u>Find</u>

  The tension in the string

  The acceleration of the masses

<u>Solution</u>

Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...

  F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N

Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...

  F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N

The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:

  F/m = a = F/m

  (T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)

  T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N

__

Then the acceleration of B is ...

  a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2

The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.

A truck is carrying a steel beam of length 13.0 m on a freeway. An accident causes the beam to be dumped off the truck and slide
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T

Explanation:

Given:

  • Length of the beam, l=13\,m
  • speed of the beam, v=20\,m.s^{-1}
  • magnitude of the vertical magnetic field, B=38\times 10^{-6} T

According to the Faraday's law the emf induced in a rod passing transversely through a magnetic field is given as:

emf= l.v.B

emf=13\times 20\times 38\times 10^{-6}

emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T

C) An identical spring is pulled with a force or 75 N The elastie limit of the spring is 72N
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is <u>plastic</u>, not <u>elastic</u>.

Explanation:

Physically speaking, stress is equal to the axial force divided by effective transversal area of spring. In addition, springs have usually a linear relationship between stress and strain in <u>elastic region</u>, since they are made of ductile materials. Axial force is directly proportional to axial stress, which is also directly proportional to axial strain.

Then, if force is greater than force associated with elastic limit of the spring, then spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is <u>plastic</u>, not <u>elastic</u>.
