Answer:

The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block M= 100 kg

Height = 1.0 m

Time = 0.90 s

Let the mass of the other block is m.

We need to calculate the acceleration of each block

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put the value into the formula

$1.0=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times(0.90)^2$

$a=\dfrac{2\times1.0}{(0.90)^2}$

$a=2.46\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the mass of the other block

Using newton's second law

The net force of the block M

$Ma=Mg-T$

$T=Mg-Ma$ ....(I)

The net force of the block m

$ma=T-mg$

Put the value of T from equation (I)

$ma=Mg-Ma-mg$

$m(a+g)=M(g-a)$

$m=\dfrac{M(g-a)}{(a+g)}$

Put the value into the formula

$m=\dfrac{100(9.8-2.46)}{2.46+9.8}$

$m=59.8\ \approx60\ kg$

Hence, The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Explanation:

a) <em>High and low pressures in kilopascals</em>:

101.325 kPa equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 15.999\,kPa$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 10.666\,kPa$

High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) <em>High and low pressures in pounds per square inch</em>:

14.696 psi equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

$p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{high} = 2.320\,psi$

$p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times\frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}$

$p_{low} = 1.547\,psi$

High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) <em>High and low pressures in meter water column in meters water column</em>:

We can calculate the equivalent water column of a mercury column by the following relation:

$\frac{h_{w}}{h_{Hg}} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}$

$h_{w} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}\times h_{Hg}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\rho_{w}$ , $\rho_{Hg}$ - Densities of water and mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$h_{w}$ , $h_{Hg}$ - Heights of water and mercury columns, measured in meters.

If we know that $\rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $\rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $h_{Hg, high} = 0.120\,m$ and $h_{Hg, low} = 0.080\,m$ , then we get that:

$h_{w, high} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.120\,m$

$h_{w, high} = 1.632\,m$

$h_{w, low} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.080\,m$

$h_{w, low} = 1.088\,m$

High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large r = 11 m cylinder in which people stand against the outer wall. the cylin

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

r = 11 m

Friction coefficient = 0.51

Suppose we need to find the minimum speed, that the cylinder must make a person move at to ensure they will stick to the wall

When frictional force becomes equal to or greater than the weight of person

Then, he sticks to the wall

We need to calculate the minimum speed

Using formula for speed

$f_{s}=\mu N\geq mg$

Where, $N =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$\mu\times\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\gep mg$

$v^2\geq\dfrac{gr}{\mu}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8\times11}{0.51}}$

$v=14.53\ m/s$

Hence, The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.

KE= 1/2 mv^2

Kinetic Energy is equal to 1/2 x mass x velocity squared

The mass of the larger ball has TWICE
