Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an

average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team's members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1365 N horizontally. (a) What is magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams, and which team wins? (b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?

Answer:

(a) Acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N   (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration  = 0.1063 m/s^2      (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.

You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm-diameter, 26.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class,
aksik [14]

Answer :

(a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

Explanation :

Given that,

Diameter = 20.0 cm

Power = 26.0 MW

Mass = 110 kg

diameter = 20.0 cm

Distance = 100 m

We need to calculate the pressure due to laser

Using formula of pressure

P_{r}=\dfrac{I}{c}

P_{r}=\dfrac{P}{Ac}Put the value into the formula[tex]P_{r}=\dfrac{26.0\times10^{6}}{\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2\times3\times10^{8}}

P_{r}=2.75\ N/m^2

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

F=P\times A

F=P\times \pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

F=2.75\times\pi (0.01)^2

F=0.086\ N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of force

F=ma

Put the value into the formula

0.086=110\times a

a=\dfrac{0.086}{110}

a=0.000781\ m/s^2

a=7.81\times10^{-4}\ m/s^2

(a). We need to calculate speed of the block

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2ad

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times7.81\times10^{-4}\times100}

v=0.395\ m/s

(b). No because the velocity is very less.

Hence, (a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No
