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

It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker, because each liter of crude oil releases 2.80 × 10 7 J of energy whe

boyakko [2]

Answer:

10.4L of water is expended when 1L of crude oil is burned.

Explanation:

This problem requires us to calculate the volume of water that must be expended to absorb the amount of energy released from the burning of 1.00L of crude oil.

In going from water at 18.5°C to steam at 285°C, the water undergoes 3 stages:

Absorption of heat from 18.5°C to 100°C >> phase change to vapour at 100°C >> heating from 100°C to steam at 285°C

Given Cw = 4186 J/kg°C and Cs = 2020 J/kg°C. The latent heat of of vaporization of water Lv = 2.256 ×10⁶ J/kg

The total heat absorbed in the process per kilogram

H = Cw × (100 – 18.5) + Lv + Cs × (285 – 100)

H = 4186 × 81.5 + 2. 256 ×10⁶ + 2020× 185

= 2.696 ×10⁶ J/kg

The amount of heat in J/L of water needed can be calculated as follows:

Density of water = 1000kg/m³ =

1000 kg/m³ × 1m³/1000L = 1kg/L (Basically conversion of density in kg/m³ to kg/L)

Let the volume of water needed be V litres.

Then the mass of water that must be expended = Density × Volume

= 1kg/L × V L = Vkg

The heat that would be absorbed by the water when 1L of crude oil is burned is V×H

= 2.696×10⁶ × V

This is also equal to 2.80×10⁷ J of energy (given).

So,

2.696×10⁶V = 2.8×10⁷

V = (2.80×10⁷)/(2.696×10⁶) = 10.4L of water.

What is the minimum coefficient of friction needed for a frightened driver to take the same curve at 20.0 km/h?

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.22

Explanation:

Suppose If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the curve.

We need to calculate the ideal speed to take a 85 m radius curve banked at 15°.

Given that,

Radius = 85 m

Angle = 15°

Speed = 20 km/h

We need to calculate the ideal speed

Using formula of speed

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}$

$v=\sqrt{rg\tan\theta}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{85\times9.8\tan15}$

$v=14.9\ m/s$

We need to calculate the minimum coefficient of friction

Using formula for coefficient of friction

$v^2=\dfrac{rg(\sin\theta-\mu\cos\theta)}{\mu\sin\theta+\cos\theta}$

Put the value into the formula

$(5.55)^2=\dfrac{85\times9.8(\sin15-\mu\cos15)}{\mu\sin15+\cos15}$

$\dfrac{30.8025}{85\times9.8}=\dfrac{0.2588-\mu0.966}{\mu0.2588+0.966}$

$0.9754462\ mu-0.223541=0$

$\mu=\dfrac{0.223541}{0.9754462}$

$\mu=0.22$

Hence, The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.22

The water from a fire hose follows a path described by y equals 3.0 plus 0.8 x minus 0.40 x squared (units are in meters). If

ivanzaharov [21]

Explanation:

It is given that, the water from a fire hose follows a path described by equation :

$y=3+0.8x-0.4x^2$ ........(1)

The x component of constant velocity, $v_x=5\ m/s$

We need to find the resultant velocity at the point (2,3).

Let $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=v_x$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=v_y$

Differentiating equation (1) wrt t as,

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=0.8\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}-0.8x\times \dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$v_y=0.8\times v_x-0.8x\times v_x$

$v_y=0.8v_x(1-x)$

When x = 2 and $v_x=5\ m/s$

So,

$v_y=0.8\times 5\times (1-2)$

$v_y=-4\ m/s$

Resultant velocity, $v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$v=\sqrt{5^2+(-4)^2}$

v = 6.4 m/s

So, the resultant velocity at point (2,3) is 6.4 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The scale on the horizontal axis is 9 s per division and on the vertical axis 9 m per division

igomit [66]

Answer:

27

Explanation:

X axis says any of its values should be multiplied by 9sec. So you would multiply 3 and 9 which gets you 27. Pretty Easy.
