Answer:

5.9 m/s²

78 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each mass.

The mass on the left (M) has a tension force pulling up (T) and a weight force pulling down (Mg).

The mass on the right (m) has a tension force pulling up (T) and a weight force pulling down (mg).

Apply Newton's second law to the mass on the left (remember it accelerates down):

∑F = ma

T − Mg = M (-a)

T − Mg = -Ma

Apply Newton's second law to the mass on the right:

∑F = ma

T − mg = ma

Two equations, two unknowns (T and a).  First, we want to find a.  So start by subtracting the first equation from the second equation.

(T − mg) − (T − Mg) = ma − (-Ma)

T − mg − T + Mg = ma + Ma

Mg − mg = (m + M) a

a = g (M − m) / (m + M)

Given M = 20 kg and m = 5 kg:

a = 9.8 m/s² (20 kg − 5 kg) / (5 kg + 20 kg)

a = 5.88 m/s²

Now plug into either equation to find the tension.

T − mg = ma

T = mg + ma

T = m (g + a)

T = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s² + 5.88 m/s²)

T = 78.4 N

Rounding to two significant figures, the acceleration and tension are 5.9 m/s² and 78 N.

Notice that the radius of the pulley and the distance between the masses were extra information.

Which method of measurement would be accurate but lack precision?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

reading the volume of water in a graduated cylinder which can be read to the nearest mL is accurate, it lacks precision due to the bottom meniscus formed.

the bottom meniscus may cause a wrong reading due to refraction of light

A man starts walking north at 2 ft/s from a point p. five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500
icang [17]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

After 5 minutes (300 seconds):
The man travels north by (2 ft/s)*(300 s) = 600 ft
The woman, located at q, 500 east of p, begins walking south at 4 ft/s.
The distance separating them is
d₁ = √(600² + 500²) = 781.025 ft

After 20 minutes:
The man has traveled for 20 minutes (1200 s).
The woman has traveled for 15 minutes (900 s).
The man has moved (2 ft/s)*(1200 s) = 2400 ft north of p.
The woman has moved (4 ft/s)*(900 s) = 3600 ft south of q.
The distance separating them is
d₂ = √(6000² + 500²) = 6020.8 ft

The separation from d₁ to d₂ occurs in 15 minutes (900s).
Therefore the rate of separation is
Rate = (d₂ - d₁ ft)/(900 s) = (6020.8 - 781.025)/900 = 5.822 ft/s
or
Rate = (5.822 ft/s)*(60 s/min) = 349.32 ft/min

Answer: 349.32 ft/min (or 5.82 ft/s)
