The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.
(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?
(b) What is the mass of each box?
Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;
(b) m1 = 915kg;
m2 = 605kg;
m3 = 864.5kg;
Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.
(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:
Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.
(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.
<u>For </u>
<u>:</u>
The only force acting On the box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.
= 915kg
<u>For </u>
<u>:</u>
There are two forces acting on : tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:
= 605kg
<u>For </u>
<u>:</u>
= 864.5kg
Answer:
B - A
Explanation:
For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest
Answer:
a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]
Explanation:
a)
The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.
![E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3Dm%2Ag%2Ah%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5Cm%20%3D%20mass%20%3D%2060%5Bkg%5D%5C%5Cg%20%3D%20gravity%20%3D%209.81%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D%5C%5Ch%20%3D%20elevation%20%3D%2010%20%5Bm%5D%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%3D60%2A9.81%2A10%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%3D5886%5BJ%5D)
b)
Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
![E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3D%20E_%7Bk%7D%20%5C%5C5886%20%3D0.5%2Am%2Av%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5Cv%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B%5Cfrac%7B5886%7D%7B0.5%2A60%7D%20%7D%5C%5Cv%20%3D%2014%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
c)
The work is equal to
W = 5886 [J]
d)
We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.
![v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_%7Bf%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D%3D%20v_%7Bo%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D-2%2Aa%2Ad%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5Cd%20%3D%202.5%5Bm%5D%5C%5Cv_%7Bf%7D%3D0%5C%5Cv_%7Bo%7D%20%3D14%5Bm%2Fs%5D%5C%5CTherefore%5C%5Ca%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B14%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7B2%2A2.5%7D%20%5C%5Ca%20%3D%2039.2%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D)
By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.
m*g - F = m*a
F = m*a - m*g
F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)
F = 1763.4 [N]
Answer:
Potential energy. Releasing it, the potential energy would convert into motion, kinetic energy.
Potential energy is when an object has some sort of potential eg. for motion such as in this example.
