Is the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of mass of spool A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the

acceleration of the center of mass of spool B?

Answer:

The acceleration of the centre of mass of spool A is equal to the magnitude of the acceleration of the centre of mass of spool B.

Explanation:

From the image attached, the description from the complete question shows that the two spools are of equal masses (same weight due to same acceleration due to gravity), have the same inextensible wire with negligible mass is attached to both of them over a frictionless pulley; meaning that the tension in the wire is the same on both ends.

And for the acceleration of both spools, we mention the net force.

The net force acting on a body accelerates the body in the same direction as that in which the resultant is applied.

For this system, the net force on either spool is exactly the same in magnitude because the net force is a difference between the only two forces acting on the spools; the tension in the wire and their similar respective weights.

With the net force and mass, for each spool equal, from

ΣF = ma, we get that a = ΣF/m

Meaning that the acceleration of the identical spools is equal also.

Hope this Helps!

If you know that the universe is estimated to be 14 billion years old . what is the age of the universe in seconds ???? (knowing
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<em>The estimated age of the universe is</em> 4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

Explanation:

<u>Time Units Conversion</u>

Sometimes we need to express magnitudes in different units, depending on the specific situation handled in the question or problem at hand. Magnitudes like length, time, mass, temperature, pressure, etc., can be expressed in several different units.

The most common units for time are years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. There are 3,600 seconds in one hour and 24 hours in one day.

We are given the estimated age of the universe as 14 billion solar years. If one solar year is 365.25 days long, then the age, expressed in days is

14,000,000,000 * 365.25 days

Some quantities need to be expressed in scientific notation. This is the case since the numbers are too high

14,000,000,000 * 365.25 = 5.1135*10^{12}\ days

There are 24*3600=86400 seconds in one day, so

5.1135*10^{12}\ days=5.1135*10^{12} * 86400 =4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

The estimated age of the universe is 4.42*10^{17}\ seconds

Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20? west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0? south of west. how far are y
Gnesinka [82]
The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector \overrightarrow{R}. From the figure we know that:

\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |=12m \\ \\ \left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |=20m \\ \\ \theta_{A}=20^{\circ} \\ \\ \theta_{B}=40^{\circ}

From geometry, we know that:

\overrightarrow{R}=\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}

Then using vector decomposition into components:

For \ A: \\ \\ A_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |sin\theta_A=-12sin(20^{\circ})=-4.10 \\ \\ A_y=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |cos\theta_A=12cos(20^{\circ})=11.27 \\ \\ \\ For \ B: \\ \\ B_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |cos\theta_B=-20cos(40^{\circ})=-15.32 \\ \\ B_y=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |sin\theta_B=-20sin(40^{\circ})=-12.85

Therefore:

R_x=A_x+B_x=-4.10-15.32=-19.42m \\ \\ R_y=A_y+B_y=11.27-12.85=-1.58m

So if you want to find out <span>how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector \overrightarrow{R}, that is:
</span>
\left | \overrightarrow{R} \right |=&#10;\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{(-19.42)^2+(-1.58)^2}=\boxed{19.48m}

Finally, let's find the <span>compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:

</span>\theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{\left | R_y \right |}{\left | R_x \right |}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{1.58}{19.42}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+4.65^{\circ}=185.85^{\circ}
