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

The distance from Earth to the star Epsilon Eridani is about 10.5 light years. Which of the following statements is true?
Simora [160]
<span>The correct answer is B. - It would take a ray of light 10.5 light years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani, or vice-versa. Using our current technology it would take far longer than 21.0 years for a space ship from Earth to travel that far - I would have to guess many hundreds of years.</span>
