||||| A 1.5 kg block and a 2.5 kg block are attached to opposite ends of a light rope. The rope hangs over a solid, frictionless

pulley that is 30 cm in diameter and has a mass of 0.75 kg. When the blocks are released, what is the acceleration of the lighter block?

Answer

The lighter block will have the Positive Acceleration that is +2.45 m/s square.

A (1.5 Kg) = + 2.45 m/s square

Explanation:

To solve this there is a hard way to do this and there is an easy way to do this. The hard way is to solve Newton's second law for each block individually and then combine them and you get two equations with two unknowns. you try your best to solve the algebra without losing any sins but lets be honest it usually goes wrong.

So the easy way to do this the way to get the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks. That is to say that i want to know the magnitude at which 2.5 Kg block accelerates or 1.5 Kg block accelerates when the the blocks were released.

Take the net external force that tries to make system go and divide it by total mass of the the system.

<u>A </u><u>(of System) = </u><u>F</u><u>(net external force) / </u><u>m</u><u> (total mass of system)</u>

This is the quick way to know the magnitude of acceleration of the objects in the system. But this is only possible if the system is moved in same magnitude of acceleration that is 2.5 Kg block will move downward and 1.5 Kg block will move upward with the same magnitude. So here in this case we have friction-less pulley and the blocks will move with the same magnitude of acceleration.

To find the external forces

External forces are the forces which exerted on the objects in our system from the objects outside of our system. So one external force is the force of gravity. Both 2.5 Kg block and the force of gravity will be in downward direction.

Force of gravity on 2.5 Kg block

F = + (2.5 x 9.8) = 24.5

After releasing the rope the 2.5 Kg block will drive the system and accelerates in downward direction so It will be a positive force.

Force of gravity on 1.5 Kg block

F = - (1.5 x 9.8) = 14.7

The force of gravity on 1.5 Kg block will be negative because it will accelerate in upward or opposite direction of the force of gravity. Because the whole system is moving in one direction but the force of gravity on 1.5 Kg block is opposing the acceleration of the system.

Now divide the the Net external forces by total mass of the blocks that is

<u>A </u><u>(of System) = </u><u>F</u><u>(net external force) / </u><u>m</u><u> (total mass of system)</u>

A = (+ 24.5 - 14.7) / 2.5 + 1.5

A = 9.8 / 4

A = 2.45 meter per second square

So the Acceleration of 2.5 Kg block will be Negative that is -2.45 m/s square. Since block is accelerating down and we usually treat down as negative.

A (1.5 Kg) = - 2.45 m/s square

So the Acceleration of 1.5 Kg block will be Positive that is +2.45 m/s square. Since block is accelerating up and we usually treat up as positive.

A (1.5 Kg) = + 2.45 m/s square

Answer:

The ratio of electric force to the gravitational force is 2.27\times 10^{39}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between electron and proton, r=4.53\ A=4.53\times 10^{-10}\ m

Electric force is given by :

F_e=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Gravitational force is given by :

F_g=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

Where

m_1 is mass of electron, m_1=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

m_2 is mass of proton, m_2=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

q_1 is charge on electron, q_1=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ kg

q_2 is charge on proton, q_2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ kg

\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{Gm_1m_2}

\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}}

\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}

So, the ratio of electric force to the gravitational force is 2.27\times 10^{39}. Hence, this is the required solution.

A massless rod of length L has a small mass m fastened at its center and another mass m fastened at one end. On the opposite end
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

onservation of energy

U top = K bottom

(m + m)*g*L = 1/2*I*?^2 where I = m*(L/2)^2 + m*L^2 = 1.25*m*L^2

So 2m*g*L = 1/2*1.25*m*L^2*?^2

So ? = sqrt(3*g*/(1.25*L) ) = sqrt(12g/5L)

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be
professor190 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the surface, volume and error through the differentiation of the formulas given for the calculation of these values in a circle. Our values given at the beginning are

\phi = 76cm

Error (dr) = 0.5cm

The radius then would be

\phi = 2\pi r \\76cm = 2\pi r\\r = \frac{38}{\pi} cm

And

\frac{d\phi}{dr} = 2\pi \\d\phi = 2\pi dr \\0.5 = 2\pi dr

PART A ) For the Surface Area we have that,

A = 4\pi r^2 \\A = 4\pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^2\\A = \frac{5776}{\pi}

Deriving we have that the change in the Area is equivalent to the maximum error, therefore

\frac{dA}{dr} = 4\pi (2r) \\dA = 4r (2\pi dr)

Maximum error:

dA = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})(0.5)

dA = \frac{76}{\pi}cm^2

The relative error is that between the value of the Area and the maximum error, therefore:

\frac{dA}{A} = \frac{\frac{76}{\pi}}{\frac{5776}{\pi}}

\frac{dA}{A} = 0.01315 = 1.31\%

PART B) For the volume we repeat the same process but now with the formula for the calculation of the volume in a sphere, so

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^3

V = \frac{219488}{3\pi^2}

Therefore the Maximum Error would be,

\frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{4}{3} 3\pi r^2

dV = 2r^2 (2\pi dr)

dV = 4r^2 (\pi dr)

Replacing the value for the radius

dV = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})^2(0.5)

dV = \frac{2888}{\pi^2} cm^3

And the relative Error

\frac{dV}{V} = \frac{ \frac{2888}{\pi^2}}{ \frac{219488}{3\pi^2} }

\frac{dV}{V} = 0.03947

\frac{dV}{V} = 3.947\%
