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.

At the beginning of a basketball game, the referee tosses the ball straight up with a speed of 4.6m/s. A player cannot touch the
maria [59]

Answer:

t=0.47s

Explanation:

the ball has uniformly accelerated movement due to gravity

Vo=initial speed=4.6m/s

g=gravity=-9.8m/s^2

Vf=final speed=0, the player must wait for the ball to stop. so the final speed will be 0

we can use the following ecuation

T=(Vf-Vo)/g

T=(0-4.6)/-9.8m/s^2

T=0.47s

A wheel moves in the xy plane in such a way that the location of its center is given by the equations xo = 12t3 and yo = R = 2,
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s  is   P =  104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}

Explanation:

The free-body  diagram below shows the interpretation of the question; from the diagram , the wheel that is rolling in a clockwise directio will have two velocities at point P;

  • the peripheral velocity that is directed downward (-V_y) along the y-axis
  • the linear velocity (V_x) that is directed along the x-axis

Now;

V_x = \frac{d}{dt}(12t^3+2) = 36 t^2

V_x = 36(1.7)^2\\\\V_x = 104.04\ ft/s

Also,

-V_y = R* \omega

where \omega(angular velocity) = \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(8t^4)

-V_y = 2*32t^3)\\\\\\-V_y = 2*32(1.7^3)\\\\-V_y = 314.432 \ ft/s

∴ the velocity of the point P located on the horizontal diameter of the wheel at t = 1.4 s  is   P =  104.04 \hat{i} -314.432 \hat{j}
