Answer:Radiologic Dispersal Devices (RDD)

Explanation:

Radiologic Dispersal Device (RDD) is commonly known as dirty bomb. These devices require little more skill than is needed to make a conventional bomb and their components are easier to acquire. RDDs utilize conventional explosives to disperse a radioactive material packaged in the device, as opposed to a nuclear device, which creates radiation with its explosion.

Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor system.

SIZIF [17.4K]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.

(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?

(b) What is the mass of each box?

Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;

(b) m1 = 915kg;

m2 = 605kg;

m3 = 864.5kg;

Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.

(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:

$F_{pull}=m_{T}.a$

$m_{T}=\frac{F_{pull}}{a}$

$m_{T}=\frac{3615}{1.516}$

$m_{T}=2384.5$

Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.

(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.

For $m_{1}$ :

The only force acting On the $m_{1}$ box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.

$m_{1} = \frac{F_{12}}{a}$

$m_{1} = \frac{1387}{1.516}$

$m_{1}$ = 915kg

For $m_{2}$ :

There are two forces acting on $m_{2}$ : tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:

$m_{2} = \frac{F_{23}-F_{12}}{a}$

$m_{2} = \frac{2304-1387}{1.516}$

$m_{2}$ = 605kg

For $m_{3}$ :

$m_{3} = m_{T} - (m_{1}+m_{2})$

$m_{3} = 2384.5-1520.0$

$m_{3}$ = 864.5kg

ILL MARK BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP 2.Write the formula associating energy with power

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.
