A light rope is attached to a block with mass 3.60 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope pass
Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The fre-body diagrams for each block is shown below. In the block of mass 3.60 kg, there are 3 forces acting on it: horizontal force due to the rope (F_{t}), vertical gravitational force (F_{g}) and vertical normal force (F_{n}), due to the surface. Since there is no vertical movement, F_{g} and F_{n} cancels it out. So, for this block, net force is horizontal due to the rope F_{t}.

The block of mass m is hanging from the pulley, so there is the force of the rope (F_{t}) and the gravitational force (F_{g}). Both are vertical, because there is no surface "holding" block m.

(b) Since both blocks are attached to each other, the acceleration will be the same. To calculate it, we use the Second Law of Motion:

F_{r}=m.a

a=\frac{F_{r}}{m}

a=\frac{18.8}{3.6}

a = 5.22

The acceleration of either block is 5.22 m/s².

(c) Block m has 2 forces acting on it: tension and gravitational force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction the Earth does over an object. It is calculated as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration, which has magnitude g = 9.8 m/s².

Suppose positive referential is going up. To determine mass:

F_{r}=m.a

F_{t}-F_{g}=m.a

F_{t}-m.g=m.a

18.8-9.8m=5.22m

15.02m=18.8

m = 1.25

Block m has 1.25 kg.

(d) Gravitational force is also called weight. So, as described above: F_{g}=m.g.

The weight for the hanging block is

F_{g}=1.25*9.8

F_{g}= 12.25 N

Comparing tension and weight:

\frac{12.25}{18.8} ≈ 0.65

We can see that, weight of the hanging block is almost 0.65 times smaller than the tension on the rope.

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

Give at least one fact about subatomic particles
victus00 [196]

Answer:

- Particles smaller than atoms are called subatomic particles .

- There are three famous subatomic particles, proton, neutron and electron .

- The study of sub atomic particles are called particle physics

- These particles can be divided as Brayons and Leptons

- These particles are often held together by one of the four fundamental particles ( Weak force, strong force, electromagnetic force, gravitational force).
