A light rope is attached to a block with mass 4.10 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope pass

es over a frictionless, massless pulley, and a block with mass m is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 14.7 N.
a. Draw two free-body diagrams: one for each block.
b. What is the acceleration of either block?
c. Find m.
d. How does the tension compare to the weight of the hanging block?

Answer:

a)  please find the attachment

(b) 3.65 m/s^2

c) 2.5 kg

d) 0.617 W

T<weight of the hanging block

Explanation:

a) please find the attachment

(b) Let +x be to the right and +y be upward.

The magnitude of acceleration is the same for the two blocks.  

In order to calculate the acceleration for the block that is resting on the horizontal surface, we will use Newton's second law:  

∑Fx=ma_x

   T=m1a_x

  14.7=4.10a_x

 a_x= 3.65 m/s^2

c) <em>in order to calculate m we will apply newton second law on the hanging   </em>

<em>    block</em>

<em> </em>∑F=ma_y

T-W= -ma_y

T-mg= -ma_y

T=mg-ma_y

T=m(g-a_y)

a_x=a_y

14.7=m(9.8-3.65)

 m = 2.5 kg

<em>the sign of ay is -ve cause ay is in the -ve y direction and it has the same magnitude of ax</em>

d) calculate the weight of the hanging block :

W=mg

W=2.5*9.8

  =25 N

T=14.7/25

 =0.617 W

T<weight of the hanging block

A 0.2 kg plastic cart and a 20 kg lead cart both roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Equal forces are used to push bo
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The same

Explanation:

The change in momentum of each cart is equal to the impulse given by the force applied on the cart:

\Delta p = I = F \Delta t

where

F is the force applied

\Delta t is the time during which the force is applied

The force applied to both carts (F) is the same, as well as the time (\Delta t). This means that the change in momentum, \Delta p, is the same for both carts. But both carts start from rest (momentum = 0): this means that at the end, both carts will have exactly same momentum.

A book with mass 2.3 kg sits on a table. What is the normal force on the
natita [175]

Explanation:

The table is level and there are no other forces on the book, so the normal force is equal to the weight.

N = mg

N = (2.3 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

N = 22.5 N
