The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Boxes A and B in the figure have masses of 13.4 kg. and 4.8 kg. , respectively. The two boxes are released from rest. What would be the speed of the boxes when box b has fallen a distance of 0.50 m? The coefficient of kinetic friction between box a and the surface it slides on is 0.20. Use conservation of energy.

Explanation:

Let us assume that box B is falling down, so equation of force for box B is as follows.

         m_{B}g - T = m_{B}a

             T = m_{B}g - m_{B}a .......... (1)

Now, force of equation for box A is as follows.

         T - f_{k, A} = m_{A}a

            T - \mu_{k}m_{A}g = ma

            T = \mu_{k}m_{A}g + m_{A}a ........... (2)

We will equate both equation (1) and (2) as follows.

       m_{B}g - m_{B}a = \mu_{k}m_{A}g + m_{A}a

   m_{B}g - m_{B}a = \mu_{k}m_{A}g + m_{A}a

    m_{B}g - \mu_{k}m_{A}g = a(m_{A} + m_{B})

      a = \frac{4.8 kg - (0.20)(13.4 kg)}{13.4 kg + 4.8 kg} \times 9.8 m/s^{2}

         = 1.1415 m/s^{2}

Now, we will calculate the velocity of the box after falling through a distance of 0.50 m as follows.

          v_{B} = \sqrt{2aS}

                    = \sqrt{(2 \times 1.1415 \times 0.50)}

                    = 1.07 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the given boxes is 1.07 m/s.

what was the temperature change in Celsius degree if it is changed from 44 degree fahrenheit to -56 degree fahrenheit​
wel

Answer:

-11.11 degree Celsius

Explanation:

The change was 44 degree fanhereit

To 56 degree fanhereit

Therefore the temperature range can be calculated as follows

56-44

= 12 degree fanhereit to Celsius

= 12-32×5/9

= -20×5/9

= 100/9

= -11.11 degree Celsius

A cyclist accelerates from a velocity of 10 miles/hour east until reaching a velocity of 20 miles/hour east in 5 seconds. What w
Sliva [168]

Answer:

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>

A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is

v_f=v_o+at

Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.

Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:

1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s

10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s

20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s

The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{8.94-4.47}{5}

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

497.00977 N

3742514.97005

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

C = Drag coefficient = 0.09

v = Velocity of dolphin = 7.5 m/s

r = Radius of bottlenose dolphin = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

A = Area

Drag force

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 \times 0.09(\pi 0.25^2)7.5^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=497.00977\ N

The drag force on the dolphin's nose is 497.00977 N

at 20°C

\mu = Dynamic viscosity = 1.002\times 10^{-3}\ Pas

Reynold's Number

Re=\frac{\rho vd}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow Re=\frac{1000\times 7.5\times 0.5}{1.002\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Re=3742514.97005

The Reynolds number is 3742514.97005
