In the figure below the pulley is a solid disk of mass M and radius R with rotational inertia MR 2/2. Two blocks one of mass m a

nd one of mass 2 hang from either side of the pulley by a light cord. Initially the system is a test with block one on the floor and block two held at the height h above the floor. Block 2 is then released and allowed to fall. Give your answers in terms of m, m2' M, R, h, and g

Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:

1.m_1a = T_1 -m_1g
2.m_2a = m_2g - T_2
where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.

The torque on the pulley is given by:
3.\tau = \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow F = (T_2 - T_1)R = I\alpha = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \frac{a}{R}
where I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2 and a = \alpha R.

Combining the three equations:
T_2 - T_1 = \frac{1}{2} Ma \\ m_2g - m_2a -m_1g - m_1a = (m_2-m_1)g - (m_1 + m_2)a = \frac{1}2}Ma \\ \\ a = \frac{(m_2 - m_1)g}{m_1 + m_2 + \frac{1}{2}M }

Answer:

Bi. Current in 15.4 Ω (R₁) is 7.14 A.

Bii. Current in 21.9 Ω (R₂) is 5.02 A.

Biii. Current in 11.7 Ω (R₃) is 9.40 A.

C. Total current in the circuit is 21.56 A.

Explanation:

Bi. Determination of the current in 15.4 Ω (R₁)

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Resistance (R₁) = 15.4 Ω

Current (I₁) =?

V = I₁R₁

110 = I₁ × 15.4

Divide both side by 15.4

I₁ = 110 / 15.4

I₁ = 7.14 A

Therefore, the current in 15.4 Ω (R₁) is 7.14 A.

Bii. Determination of the current in 21.9 Ω (R₂)

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Resistance (R₂) = 21.9 Ω

Current (I₂) =?

V = I₂R₂

110 = I₂ × 21.9

Divide both side by 21.9

I₂ = 110 / 21.9

I₂ = 5.02 A

Therefore, the current in 21.9 Ω (R₂) is 5.02 A

Biii. Determination of the current in 11.7 Ω (R₃)

Voltage (V) = 110 V

Resistance (R₃) = 11.7 Ω

Current (I₃) =?

V = I₃R₃

110 = I₃ × 11.7

Divide both side by 11.7

I₃ = 110 / 11.7

I₃ = 9.40 A

Therefore, the current in 11.7 Ω (R₃) is 9.40 A.

C. Determination of the total current.

Current 1 (I₁) = 7.14 A

Current 2 (I₂) = 5.02 A

Current 3 (I₃) = 9.40 A

Total current (Iₜ) =?

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Iₜ = 7.14 + 5.02 + 9.40

Iₜ = 21.56 A

Therefore, the total current in the circuit is 21.56 A

Scalars are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensio
Korolek [52]
The statement is false. Vectors are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensional motion. Scalar quantities can be used to analyze linear motion problem, but not projectile motion.
