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

A proton is confined in an infinite square well of width 10 fm. (The nuclear potential that binds protons and neutrons in the nu
kvasek [131]

Answer:

First Question

    E   =   1.065*10^{-12} \  J

Second  Question

   The  wavelength is for an X-ray  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  width of the wall is  w =  10\ fm =  10*10^{-15 }\ m

     The  first excited state is  n_1  =  2

     The  ground state is   n_0 = 1

Gnerally the  energy (in MeV) of the photon emitted when the proton undergoes a transition is mathematically represented as

          E   =   \frac{h^2 }{ 8 * m  *  l^2 [ n_1^2 - n_0 ^2 ] }

Here  h is the Planck's constant with value  h =  6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

         m is the mass of proton with value m  = 1.67 * 10^{-27} \   kg

So    

          E  =   \frac{( 6.626*10^{-34})^2 }{ 8 * (1.67 *10^{-27})  *  (10 *10^{-15})^2 [ 2^2 - 1 ^2 ] }

=>        E   =   1.065*10^{-12} \  J

Generally the energy of the photon emitted is also mathematically represented as

             E  =  \frac{h * c }{ \lambda }

=>          \lambda  =  \frac{h * c }{E }

=>          \lambda  =  \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }{ 1.065 *10^{-15 } }

=>         \lambda  =  1.87*10^{-10} \  m

Generally the range of wavelength of X-ray is  10^{-8} \to  1)^{-12}

So this wavelength is for an X-ray.

Two uniform solid spheres of the same size, but different mass, are released from rest simultaneously at the same height on a hi
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

options A and C

Explanation:

Since, the spheres are of same size and rotational speed of the sphere are not dependent on their masses. So, both the sphere will reach the bottom of the at the same time with the same speed. But their kinetic energies are different.

So, options A and C are correct.

Which in is it Speed (S) or Velocity (V)?
Andrej [43]

Explanation:

Speed has only magnitude.

Velocity has magnitude and direction.

"A bike goes 25 m/s toward  main street."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).

"A person walks 4 mph."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A plane flies 200 m/s."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A bird flies 100 mph due south."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).

PLEASE HELP ME :)
ddd [48]

A) 350 J

- The initial internal energy of the cup is

U_i = 230 J

- The final internal energy of the cup is

U_f = 580 J

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

U_f - U_i = Q+W

where

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done on the system

The work done on the system in this case is 0, so we can rewrite the equation as

U_f - U_i = Q

And so we find the heat transferred

Q=580 J - 230 J=350 J

B) IN the cup

Explanation:

in this situation, we see that the internal energy of the cup increases. The internal energy of an object/substance is proportional to its temperature, so it is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the object/substance. Therefore, in this case, the temperature (and the energy of the molecules of the substance) has increased: this means that heat has been transferred INTO the system from the environment (the heat came from the sun).

The acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Net \; Force = mass * acceleration

Making acceleration the subject of formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac {Net \; Force}{Mass}

In this scenario, the acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the ball. Thus, this example best illustrates Newton's second law of motion.
