A 6.4-N force pulls horizontally on a 1.5-kg block that slides on a smooth horizontal surface. This block is connected by a hori

zontal string to a second block of mass m2=0.93 kg on the same surface, what is the acceleration of the blocks? What is the tension of the string?

-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless.  I guess that's what "smooth" means.

-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.

-- Your force is 6.4 N.
                                    Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
                                                                 </em>
That's about  <em>2.634 m/s²</em>  <em>

</em>
(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)

-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is

       Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.

That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.

To what potential should you charge a 3.0 μf capacitor to store 1.0 j of energy?
Nimfa-mama [501]
The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
U= \frac{1}{2}CV^2
where
U is the energy
C is the capacitance
V is the potential difference

The capacitor in this problem has capacitance
C=3.0 \mu F = 3.0 \cdot 10^{-6} F
So if we re-arrange the previous equation, we can calculate the potential V that should be applied to the capacitor to store U=1.0 J of energy on it:
V= \sqrt{ \frac{2U}{C} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 1.0 J}{3.0 \cdot 10^{-6}F} }=816 V

how long would it take for a resultant upward force of 100N to increase the speed of 50kg object from 100m/s to 150m/s​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

25 sec

Explanation:

F = ma

100 = 50 a

a = 2 m/s^2

vf = vo + at

150 = 100 +  2 t

50 = 2 t

t = 25 sec

Compare the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. Mars is rich in oxygen, like ours, accounting for its red surface. Like Earth, nitrog
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

Venus's atmosphere is very thick, dry and hot whereas Mars's atmosphere is very thin and cold.

Both Venus's and Mars's atmospheres are about 95 percent carbon dioxide.

The surface temperature of Venus is around 890 degrees F, the hottest average temperature in the Solar System. This is due to abundance of greenhouse gasses. The atmosphere of Venus is composed of 97% CO2, 2% N2 and less than 1% of O2, H2O and CH4 (methane). Since CO2 is a major greenhouse gas, the radiation from the Sun is trapped in the atmosphere of Venus producing an extremely high surface temperature.

Mars has an atmospheric composition of 95% CO2, 3% N2, 2% Ar and less than 1% O2.A high noble gas content implies that Mar's atmosphere was much thicker in the past (noble gases do not react with other elements and are heavy enough to stay within the gravitational field of Mars). The climate on Mars is very desert-like due to its thin atmosphere. There is too little mass in the atmosphere to hold in heat so the warmest daytime temperatures are around 50 degrees F, but the nighttime temperatures are -170 degrees F. Other weather features are massive dust storms and occasional CO2 fog in the canyons.
