Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.

0-kg box in the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 5.0- kg box, which pushes against the other two boxes. (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes. (b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction. (c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box? (d) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?

Answer:

(a)Look at the attached graphic

(b)

(b)-1 Equation 1  : m1= 5kg

       50-F1= 5 *a

(b)-2 Equation 2 : m2= 3kg

        F1-F2= 3 *a

(b)-3 Equation 3 : m3= 2kg

         F2 = 2*a  

(c) F1 =25 N

(d) F2 =10 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes

Look at the attached graphic

(b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction.

Data: m1=  5.0-kg ,m2= 3.0-kg , ,m3= 2.0-kg

<em>Look</em> <em>m1 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m1*a

50-F1= 5 *a Equation 1

<em>Look</em> <em>m2 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m2*a

F1-F2= 3 *a Equation 2

<em>Look</em> <em>m3 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m3*a

F2 = 2*a     Equation 3

(c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box?

<em>Look</em> <em>Free body diagram of the mass set</em>

∑Fx = m*a   m= m1+m2+m3= 5+3+2 = 10 kg

50 = 10*a

a= 50/10 = 5 m/s²

We replace a = 5 m/s² in the equation 1:

50-F1= 5 *5

50-25= F1

F1 = 25 N

<em> (d) </em><em>What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?</em>

We replace a= 5 m/s² in the equation 3

F2 = 2*5 = 10 N

Which of the following is one way that an electric motor's rotation speed can be controlled?
malfutka [58]
Depending on which type of motor you're talking about, but the first 3 are true.  A stronger magnetic field in a DC motor will slow it down but increase its torque.
The amount of current in the motor will control the magnetic fields and therefore affect the speed (and torque).  In an induction motor, the rotational speed is given by n= \frac{120f}{p}  where f is the line frequency and p is the number of poles.  Thus fewer poles makes it go faster.
