A block with mass m1 = 4.50 kg and a ball with mass m2 = 7.70 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless

pulley, as shown in figure (a). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.300. 
(a) Find the acceleration of the two objects and the tension in the string. 
(b) Check the answer for the acceleration by using the system approach. (Use the following as necessary: m1, m2, μk, and g.) 
(c) What if an additional mass is attached to the ball? How large must this mass be to increase the downward acceleration by 60%? 

For (a) I calculated acceleration to be 5.10 m/s^2 and tension to be 36.2N. 
For (b) I the equation is a = (m2g-ukm1g)/(m1+m2) 
It is (c) that I cannot figure out. Can anybody please help me?

1.6a =  \frac{g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}  \\  \\ 1.6a(m_1 + m_2 + m_3) = g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1) \\  \\ (1.6a + \mu kg)m_1 + (1.6a - g)m_2 = (g - 1.6a)m_3 \\  \\ m_3 =  \frac{1.6a +\mu kg}{g - 1.6a} m_1 - m_2 \\  \\ m_3 = 22.57 kg

If this decay has half-life of 2 years, how many years would it take for 10.8 g Protactinium-231 to remain given an initial mass
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Time = 6 years

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the no. of half life periods required to reduce the mass of Protactinium to the given value:

m' = \frac{m}{2^{n} } \\\\2^n = \frac{m}{m'}

where,

n = no. of half-life periods = ?

m = initial mass = 86.3 g

m' = remaining mass = 10.8 g

Therefore,

2^n = \frac{86.3\ g}{10.8\ g}\\\\2^n = 8\\2^n = 2^3

Since the bases are the same. Therefore equating powers:

n = 3

Now we calculate the time:

Time = (n)(Half-Life)\\Time =(3)(2\ years)

<u>Time = 6 years</u>

When a block of ice at zero degrees Celsius melts, the ice A) absorbs energy from its environment. B) releases energy to its env
Mariulka [41]

Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Latent heat is defined as the amount of heat required by per mole of a substance in order to change its state.  

And, latent heat of freezing (fusion) is defined as the energy required for the phase change between a liquid and a solid without any change in their temperature.

Therefore, at zero degrees Celsius energy absorbed by the ice will be consumed in breaking the bond between the water molecules held together in the solid state.

Thus, we can conclude that when a block of ice at zero degrees Celsius melts, the ice absorbs energy but does not change its temperature.

An organism's ________ is the way its genotype is expressed
juin [17]

The answer is Phenotype.

Phenotype is the observable traits on the organism which are mainly influenced by how the genotype of the organism interacts with the environment. An example of how phenotype is determined is when a gene has several alleles. The dominant alleles are expressed in phenotype while the recessive one is masked. Epistasis of alleles also occurs in many other cases.

Until a train is a safe distance from the station it must travel at 5 m/s. Once the train is on open track it can speed up
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

If you subtract the 5 m/s that the train is already going from 45 m/s (giving you 40 m/s) and then divide that by 8 you’d get B. 5 m/s
