Two objects with masses of 2.75 kg and 4.45 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a light frictionless pulley to f

Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

4.45g - 2.75g = (4.45 + 2.75)a

a = 9.81(4.45 - 2.75) / (4.45 + 2.75) = 2.31625 ≈ 2.32 m/s²

T = 2.75(9.81 + 2.32) = 33.3 N

T = 4.45(9.81 - 2.32) = 33.3 N

b) 2.32 m/s² upward for 2.75 kg mass

2.32 m/s² downward for 4.45 kg mass

c) y = ½at² = ½(2.31625/3)1² = 1.158125 ≈ 1.16 m

Answer:

If there are equal forces in both directions and there is no motion, the net force is 0 Newtons. This is because you'd be subtracting 100 from 100 which just equals 0.

Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes ab

nata0808 [166]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. On these equations we will define the speed as the distance traveled in a space of time, and that speed will be in charge of indicating the reaction rate of the individual. In turn, using the ratio of speed, position and acceleration, we will clear the position and determine the distance necessary for braking.

The relation to express the velocity in terms of position for constant acceleration is as follows

$v^2 = u^2+2a(s-s_0)$
