Answer:

The tension in the middle string is 3.3 N

Explanation:

Two boxes move with same acceleration

The tension in the middle string is T

Lets start with the forces acting in the 2nd box

→ The tension T in the string in the direction of motion

Due to Newtons's Law

→ ∑ Force in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

→ T = M a

→ M = 1 kg

Substitute the value of M is the equation

→ T = a ⇒ (1)

The force acting on the 1st box

→ The force F in the direction of motion, and T in the string in opposite

direction of motion

→ F - T = 2M a

→ F = 10 N , M = 1 kg

Substitute These values in the equation

→ 10 - T = 2(1) a

→ 10 - T = 2 a ⇒ (2)

Substitute equation (1) in (2)

→ 10 - T = 2 T

Add T to both sides

→ 10 = 3 T

Divide both sides by 3

→ T = 3.3 N

The tension in the middle string is 3.3 N

block of mass m sits at rest on a rough inclined ramp that makes an angle with the horizontal. What must be true about normal fo

oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a body on a ramp with mass m, the forces acting on the body along the vertical component are the weight and the normal reaction.

The weight of the body acts in the negative y direction while the normal reaction acts in the positive y direction

Taking the sum of forces along the y component

Sum Fy = -W+R = ma

Since acceleration is zero

-W+R = m(0)

-W+R = 0

-W = -R

W = R

Hence the Normal reaction force acting on the on the body is equal to normal force

A ball is revolving horizontally in a circle of radius 1.8 m, and is held by a rigid, massless rod. The mass of the ball is 0.1

OLga [1]

Answer:

$\omega=15 \ rad/s$

Explanation:

given,

radius of circle = 1.8 m

mass of the ball = 0.1 Kg

linear speed of the ball = 27 m/s

angular velocity of orbit = ?

$v = r \omega$

ω is the angular speed of the circle

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

$\omega=\dfrac{27}{1.8}$

$\omega=15 \ rad/s$

the angular velocity of the orbit is $\omega=15 \ rad/s$

The amplitude of a sound wave is most closely

ziro4ka [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option 3.

Explanation:

Amplitude of as sound wave is defined as the extent to which the air particles are getting displaced.

Speed of the sound wave is defined as the distance traveled by the sound wave per unit time and is not related to the amplitude of a sound wave.

Wavelength of the sound wave is defined as the difference between two crests or troughs.

Loudness of a sound wave is defined as the size of the vibration which are produced by it. This is closely related to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Pitch is defined as the sensation of the frequency. Higher the frequency, the pitch is also high and vice-versa.

From the above information, the amplitude of a sound wave is most closely related to the sound’s loudness.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

A 12 volt car battery pushes a charge through the headlight circuit with a resistance of 8.5 ohms. How much current is passing t

Illusion [34]

Data:
i (current) = ? (Amps)
R (resistance) = 8.5 Ω
V (voltage) = 12 volts

Formula:
$V = R*i\to \boxed{i = \frac{V}{R} }$

Solving:
$i = \frac{V}{R}$
$i = \frac{12}{8.5}$
$\boxed{\boxed{i \approx 1.41\:Amps}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
