Answer:

a) a = 2.383 m / s², b) T₂ = 120,617 N , c) T₃ = 72,957 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise of Newton's second law let's fix a horizontal frame of reference

in this case the mass of the sleds is 30, 20 10 kg from the last to the first, in the first the horizontal force is applied.

a) request the acceleration of the system

we can take the sledges together and write Newton's second law

T = (m₁ + m₂ + m₃) a

a = T / (m₁ + m₂ + m₃)

a = 143 / (10 +20 +30)

a = 2.383 m / s²

b) the tension of the cables we think through cable A between the sledges of 1 and 20 kg

on the sled of m₁ = 10 kg

T - T₂ = m₁ a

in this case T₂ is the cable tension

T₂ = T - m₁ a

T₂ = 143 - 10 2,383

T₂ = 120,617 N

c) The cable tension between the masses of 20 and 30 kg

T₂ - T₃ = m₂ a

T₃ = T₂ -m₂ a

T₃ = 120,617 - 20 2,383

T₃ = 72,957 N

An object of irregular shape has a characteristic length of L = 0.5 m and is maintained at a uniform surface temperature of Ts =

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

Explanation:

Given that,

For first object,

Characteristic length = 0.5 m

Surface temperature = 400 K

Atmospheric temperature = 300 K

Velocity = 25 m/s

Air velocity = 5 m/s

Characteristic length of second object = 2.5 m

We have same shape and density of both objects so the reynold number will be same,

We need to calculate the value of the average convection coefficient

Using formula of reynold number for both objects

$R_{1}=R_{2}$

$\dfrac{u_{1}L_{1}}{\eta_{1}}=\dfrac{u_{2}L_{2}}{\eta_{2}}$

$\dfrac{h_{1}L_{1}}{k_{1}}=\dfrac{h_{2}L_{2}}{k_{2}}$

Here, $k_{1}=k_{2}$

$h_{2}=h_{1}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

$h_{2}=\dfrac{q}{T_{2}-T_{1}}\times\dfrac{L_{1}}{L_{2}}$

Put the value into the formula

$h_{2}=\dfrac{10000}{400-300}\times\dfrac{0.5}{2.5}$

$h_{2}=20\ W/Km^2$

Hence, The value of the average convection coefficient is 20 W/Km².

A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25$

$a=-5.76m/sec^2$

We know that acceleration is given by

$a=\mu g$

$5.76=\mu\times 9.81$

$\mu =0.587$

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?

GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

An oil slick on water is 120 nm thick and illuminated by white light incident perpendicular to its surface. What color does the

gregori [183]

Answer:

$\lambda = 672 nm$

so this is nearly red colour light

Explanation:

As we know that the interference of light from reflected light then the path difference is given as

$\Delta x = 2\mu t + \frac{\lambda}{2}$

now we know that for constructive interference of light the path difference is given as

$\Delta x = n\lambda$

so we will have

$2\mu t + \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda$

so we will have

$4\mu t = \lambda$

$\lambda = 2(1.40)(120nm)$

$\lambda = 672 nm$

so this is nearly red colour light
