The expression for the acceleration of the red block after it is released from the rest is

\fbox{\begin{minispace}\\{a = \dfrac{{\left( {{m_g} - \mu {m_r}} \right)g}}{\left( {{m_g} + {m_r}} \right)}}\end{minispace}}

Further Explanation:

The friction force acting on the red block placed on the table is acting opposite to the direction of motion of block. The motion of the system, of red block and grey block, is vertically downward direction. It implies that the tension on the string is less than the weight on the grey block.

Given:

The mass of the red block is {m_r}.

The mass of the grey block is {m_g}.

The coefficient of friction between red block and table is \mu.

Concept:

The net force on the red block is acting along the direction of motion of the system and is equal to the difference between the tension in the string and friction force.

The net force on the red block is:

{m_r}a = T - f

Rearrange the above expression.

T = {m_r}a + f

Substitute \mu {m_r}g for f in above equation.

\fbox{\begin\\T = {m_r}a + \mu {m_r}g\end{minispace}}                                                           …… (1)

Here,  T is the tension on the string, {m_r} is the mass of the red block, a is the acceleration of the system and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The net force on the grey block is along the direction of motion of the system and it is equal to the difference between the weight on grey block and tension on the string.

The net force on the grey block is:

{m_g}a = {m_g}g - T                                                                        …… (2)

Here, {m_g} is the mass of the grey block.

Substitute {m_r}a + \mu {m_r}g for T in equation (2).

{m_g}a = {m_g}g - \left( {{m_r}a + \mu {m_r}g} \right)

Rearrange the above expression.

{m_g}a + {m_r}a = {m_g}g - \mu {m_r}g

Simplify the above expression.

\fbox{\begin{minispace}\\{a = \dfrac{{\left( {{m_g} - \mu {m_r}} \right)g}}{\left( {{m_g} + {m_r}} \right)}}\end{minispace}}

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr
Andre45 [30]
The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.

A closed container initially holds 50 monatomic Aparticles that have a combined energy of 480 units. After 100 monatomic B parti
Molodets [167]

Answer:

"8 units" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

According to the question,

Throughout equilibrium all particles are of equivalent intensity, and as such the integrated platform's total energy has been uniformly divided across all individuals.

Now,

The total energy will be:

= 480+720

= 1200 \ units

The total number of particles will be:

= 50+100

= 150

hence,

Energy of each A particle or each B particle will be:

= \frac{1200}{150}

= 8 \ units
