Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up

from left to right and a force is applied to the left side of the left cube causing all three cubes to accelerate to the right at 2.0 m/s2 . What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the middle cube by the left cube in this case?

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

A rock is being twirled in a circle on the end of a string. The string provides the centripetal force needed to keep the ball mo
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The force of tension exerted by the string on the rock acts as centripetal force, so its direction is always towards the centre of the circle.

However, the direction of motion of the rock is always tangential to the circle: this means that the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the rock.

As we know, the work done by a force on an object is

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the force and the displacement

In this situation, F and d are perpendicular, so \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore cos \theta = 0 and the work done is zero:

W=0

A force of 14 N acts on a 5 kg object for 3 seconds.
DiKsa [7]

Answer: a) 42Nm b) 8.4m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as object change in momentum.

Since Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.

F = m(v-u)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = m(v-u)

Since impulse = Ft

and Ft = m(v-u)... (1)

The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m from eqn 1

Going to the question;

a) Impulse = Force (F) × time(t)

Given force = 14N and time = 3seconds

Impulse = 14×3

Impulse = 42Nm

b) The object change in velocity (v-u) = Ft/m where mass = 5kg

v-u = 14×3/5

Change in velocity = 42/5 = 8.4m/s

Two flywheels of negligible mass and different radii are bonded together and rotate about a common axis (see below). The smaller
Travka [436]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Small wheel applied force

F₁ = 50N

Small wheel radius

r₁ = 18cm

Bigger wheel radius.

r₂ = 29cm

Bigger wheel applied force

F₂ =?

Since the combination of those forces did not cause the wheel to rotate,

Then, Στ = 0

F₁•r₁ —F₂•r₂ =

50×18 — 29F₂ = 0

900 = 29F₂

F₂ = 900 / 29

F₂ = 31.03 N

The pulling force applied at the larger wheel is 31.03N
