The Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. Assume that the rope and pu

lley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley. If the masses have the values m1=21.1 kg and m2=12.9 kg, find the magnitude of their acceleration ???? and the tension T in the rope. Use ????=9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

$a=2.36\ m/s^2$

T=157.06 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of first block = 21.1 kg

Mass of second block = 12.9 kg

First mass is heavier than first that is why mass second first will go downward and mass second will go upward.

Given that pulley and string is mass less that is why both mass will have same acceleration.So lets take their acceleration is 'a'.

So now from force equation

$m_1g-m_2g=(m_1+m_2)a$

21.1 x 9.81 - 12.9 x 9.81 =(21.1+12.9) a

$a=2.36\ m/s^2$

Lets tension in string is T

$m_1g-T=m_1a$

$T=m_1(g-a)$

T=21.1(9.81-2.36) N

T=157.06 N

What charge accumulates on the plates of a 2.0-μF air-filled capacitor when it is charged until the potential difference across

enot [183]

Answer:

0.0002 C.

Explanation:

Charge: This can be defined as the ratio of current to time flowing in a circuit. The S.I unit of charge is Coulombs (C)

Mathematically, charge can be expressed as

Q = CV ................................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, C = capacitance of the capacitor, V = potential difference across the plates.

Given: C = 2.0-μF = 2×10⁻⁶ F, V = 100 V.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 2×10⁻⁶× 100

Q = 2×10⁻⁴ C

Q = 0.0002 C.

The amount of charge accumulated = 0.0002 C

A balloon filled with helium gas has an average density of Q,-0.41 kg/m'. The density of the air is Qa-1.23 kg/m3. The volume of

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a) $(Qa*g*Vb)-(Qh*Vb*g)=(Qh*Vb*a)\\where \\g=gravity [m/s^2]\\a=acceleration [m/s^2]$

b) a = 19.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

The total mass of the balloon is:

$massball=densityheli*volumeheli\\\\massball=0.41 [kg/m^3]*0.048[m^3]\\massball=0.01968[kg]\\\\$

The buoyancy force acting on the balloon is:

$Fb=densityair*gravity*volumeball\\Fb=1.23[kg/m^3]*9.81[m/s^2]*0.048[m^3]\\Fb=0.579[N]$

Now we need to make a free body diagram where we can see the forces that are acting over the balloon and determinate the acceleration.

In the attached image we can see the free body diagram and the equation deducted by Newton's second law

A thin taut string is fixed at both ends and stretched along the horizontal x-axis with its left end at x = 0. It is vibrating i

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) Wavelength is 0.436 m

(b) Length is 0.872 m

(c) 11.518 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

The eqn of the displacement is given by:

$y(x, t) = (1.22 cm)sin[14.4 m^{- 1}x]cos[(166\ rad/s)t]$ (1)

n = 4

Now,

We know the standard eqn is given by:

$y = AsinKxcos\omega t$ (2)

Now, on comparing eqn (1) and (2):

A = 1.22 cm

K = $14.4 m^{- 1}$

$\omega = 166\ rad/s$

where

A = Amplitude

K = Propagation constant

$\omega$ = angular velocity

Now, to calculate the string's wavelength,

(a) $K = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

where

K = propagation vector

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{K}$

$\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{14.4} = 0.436\ m$

(b) The length of the string is given by:

$l = \frac{n\lambda}{2}$

$l = \frac{4\times 0.436}{2} = 0.872\ m$

(c) Now, we first find the frequency of the wave:

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f = \frac{2\pi}{166} = 26.42\ Hz$

Now,

Speed of the wave is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

$v = 26.419\times 0.436 = 11.518\ m/s$

Which undergoes greater acceleration: an airplane that goes from 1000 km/h to 1005 km/h in 10 seconds or a skateboard that

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Skateboard

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

The airplane's acceleration is:

a = (1005 km/h − 1000 km/h) / 10 s

a = 0.5 km/h/s

The skateboard's acceleration is:

a = (5 km/h − 0 km/h) / 1 s

a = 5 km/h/s
