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

In a particular run of the “Archimedes principle” experiment a particular unknown substance is found to have a “dry mass” of 4.5
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

D = 18000 kg/m3

V = 2.5*10{-7}m3

Explanation:

From the Archimedes principle,

Weight of fluid displaced = W_{air} - W_{water}

W_{air} = 4.5 gm

W_{water} = 4.25 gm

W = [4.5 - 4.25]*9.81*10^{-3}

W = 2.4525*10{-3} N

\frac{density\ of\ object}{density\ of\ fluid} = \frac{weight\ in\ air}{weight\ of\ displaced\ fluid}

Density\ of\ object = \frac{D_{water}*Weight\ in\ air}{weight\ of\ displaced\ water}

D = \frac{1000*4.5*10^{-3}*9.8}{2.4525*10^{-3}}N

D = 18000 kg/m3

b) object Volume can be obtained  as ,

V = \frac{m}{D} = \frac{4.5*10^{-3}}{18000}

V = 2.5*10{-7}m3

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that its distance from the light is given by x(t)=
True [87]

Answer:

(a) average velocity = 17.6 m/s

(b) when t = 0, v = 0

    when t = 4, v = 19.2 m/s

    when t = 8, v = 28.8 m/s

(c) after starting from rest, the car will be at rest again in 20 s

Explanation:

Given;

x(t)=bt²−ct³, substitute the given values and the equation will become;

x(t)=3t²−0.1t³

(a)average velocity = total distance / total time

total distance, x(t) = 3t²−0.1t³

x(8) = 3t²−0.1t³

X(8) = 3(8)² - 0.1(8)³

X(8) = 140.8 m

total time = 8 s

average velocity = 140.8 / 8

average velocity = 17.6 m/s

(b) instantaneous velocity = dx / dt

dx / dt = 6t - 0.3t²

when t = 0

v = 0

when t = 4 s

v = 6(4) - 0.3(4²) = 19.2 m/s

when t = 8 s

v = 6(8) - 0.3(8²) = 28.8 m/s

(c) the velocity is zero at dx / dt = 0

6t - 0.3t² = 0

t(6 - 0.3t) = 0

t = 0    or  6 - 0.3t = 0

t = 0     or   0.3t = 6

t = 0      or   t = 6 / 0.3

t= 0       or    t =  20 s

After starting from rest, the car will be at rest again in 20 s

The pressure gauge shown below has a spring for which k = 60 N/m, and the area of the piston is 0.50 cm2. Its right end is conne
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

0.025 m

0.059166 m

Explanation:

P = Pressure

A = Area

x = Compression of spring

Force is given by

F=PA\\\Rightarrow F=30000\times 0.5\times 10^{-4}\\\Rightarrow F=1.5\ N

From Hooke's law

F=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.5}{60}\\\Rightarrow x=0.025\ m

The spring is compressed 0.025 m

In the second case

F_1=1.5\ N

F_2=101000\times 0.5\times 10^{-4}\\\Rightarrow F_2=5.05\ N

Net force would be

F=F_2-F_1\\\Rightarrow F=5.05-1.5\\\Rightarrow F=3.55\ N

Compression would be

x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3.55}{60}\\\Rightarrow x=0.059167\ m

The compression of the spring is 0.059166 m
