Potential energy at the top = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                                           = (40 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (12 m)

                                           =            4,704 Joules


Kinetic energy at the bottom = 1/2 (mass) x (speed)²

                                              =  1/2 (40 kg) x (10 m/s)²

                                              =        2,000 Joules .


Energy lost between the top and the bottom
  
                                   (4,704 joules) - (2,000 joules)

                               =            2,704 Joules

The Atwood’s machine shown consists of two blocks of mass m1 and m2 that are connected by a light string that passes over a pull
Talja [164]

(A) For the system consisting of the two blocks, the change in the kinetic energy of the system is equal to work done by gravity on the system.

(D) For the system consisting of the two blocks, the pulley and the Earth, the change in the total mechanical energy of the system is zero.

<h3 /><h3>The given parameters:</h3>
  • Mass of block 1 = m1
  • Mass of block 2, = m2
  • Height of block 1 above the ground, = h1
  • Height of block 2 above the ground = h2

The total initial mechanical energy of the two block system is calculated as follows;

m_1gh_1 + \frac{1}{2} m_1v_1_i^2 = m_2gh_2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2v_2_i^2\\\\m_1gh_1 + 0 = m_2gh_2 + 0\\\\m_1gh_1 = m_2gh_2\\\\m_1gh_1 - m_2gh_2 = 0

When the block m2 reaches the ground the block m1 attains maximum height and the total mechanical energy at this point is given as;

m_1g(h_1 + h_2) + K.E_1 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 + P.E_2\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 ) -PE_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 - K.E_1\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 )  - 0= \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 - 0\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 )  = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2\\\\W = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2

Thus, we can conclude the following before the block m2 reaches the ground;

  • For the system consisting of the two blocks, the pulley and the Earth, the change in the total mechanical energy of the system is zero.
  • For the system consisting of the two blocks, the change in the kinetic energy of the system is equal to work done by gravity on the system.

How do you find the missing terms in a number sentence?
FrozenT [24]

Determine the rule that the numbers in the sequence obey, and then utilize this rule to determine the missing term to complete a number sequence. The rule that the numbers in the example above adhere to is "Add 8 and then remove 2." Therefore, 32 is the term that is missing from the given number sequence.

<h3>What is a number sentence?</h3>
  • A number sentence is an equation or inequality that is articulated using numbers and mathematical symbols in the context of mathematics education.
  • In the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other countries, the phrase is used in the instruction of elementary-level mathematics.
  • The word is employed when asking pupils to write equations using fundamental mathematical symbols.
  • Unknown values are sometimes denoted by boxes or forms.
  • To introduce pupils to the ideas of structure and basic algebra before more formal teaching of these concepts, number sentences are utilized.
<h3>A math sentence is what?</h3>
  • A mathematical statement about two expressions is made.
  • Either integers, variables, or a combination of both are used in the two phrases.
  • Additionally, words or symbols like equals, greater than, or less than can be used in a mathematical phrase.

Which of the following correctly describe electric field lines?
Xelga [282]

-- Electric field lines DO never cross.  <em>(A) </em>

-- Electric field lines that are close together DO indicate a stronger electric field. <em>(B) </em>

-- Electric field lines DO not affect the charge that created them.  <em>(C)</em>

-- Electric field lines DON'T begin on north poles and end on south poles.  North and South "poles" are the way we talk about magnets, not electric charges.

What are subtomic particles<br>​
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

In the physical sciences, subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. They can be composite particles, such as the neutron and proton; or elementary particles, which according to the standard model are not made of other particles. Particle physics and nuclear physics study these particles and how they interact.
