I just did this last semester... I know this is wave height!!
<u>Mechanics</u> is the branch of physics which deals with the study of motion of material objects.
<u><em>Divisions</em></u>
There are three major division of mechanics
Statics
Kinematics
Dynamics.
Answer:
a1 = 3.56 m/s²
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg
Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg
Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m
Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m
Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m
Time; t = 0.75
I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.
Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;
ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1
a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.
s = ut + ½at²
our s is now Δx and a1 is a.
Thus;
Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)
u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.
Thus, plugging in the relevant values;
1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)
Multiply through by 2;
2 = 0.75²a1
a1 = 2/0.75²
a1 = 3.56 m/s²
Answer:
when the rubber band is realeased the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic energy this is equal to one mass of the the rubber band multiplied by its velocity( in meters per second)
