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?

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

When a warm air mass collides with a cold air mass, the warm air mass rises above the cold air mass leading too:

nikdorinn [45]

Answer: It leads to a front. A front is.., I don't know how to explain it, so I'll add a picture. Fronts are made out of clouds and usually bring rain. So the answer is C: The formation of clouds and rain.

Find the wavelength of the balmer series spectral line corresponding to n = 15.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

371.2 mm

Explanation:

The Balmer series of spectral lines is obtained from the formula

1/λ = R(1/2² -1/n²) where λ = wavelength, R = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

when n = 15

1/λ = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/2² -1/15²)

= 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/4 -1/225)

= 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(0.25 - 0.0044)

= 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ 0.245556

= 2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

So,

λ = 1/2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

= 0.3712 10⁻⁶ m

= 371.2 mm

A housefly walking across a clean surface can accumulate a significant positive or negative charge. In one experiment, the large

nalin [4]

Answer:

1681714.28571 N/C

Yes it could exist

Explanation:

m = Mass of housefly = 12 m

q = Charge = 70 pC

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

E = Electric field

When an object accumulates charge it means that it is gaining electrons making it negatively charged. This is the concept of static electricity.

Here, the electric force and the graviational force will balance each other

$F_e=W\\\Rightarrow qE=mg\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{mg}{q}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{12\times 10^{-6}\times 9.81}{70\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=1681714.28571\ N/C$

1681714.28571 N/C of electric field would be required to levitate

The direction of the electric field would be upwards vertically.

In air the critical value of electric field is $3\times 10^6\ N/C$ which is more than the critical value of electric field in air. So, the electric field can exist.
