Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team’s members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts

an average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team’s members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1365 N horizontally.
(a) What is magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams?
(b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?

Answer:

a)  a = - 0.106 m/s^2  (←)

b) T = 12215.1064 N

Explanation:

If

F₁ = 9*1350 N = 12150 N   (→)

F₂ = 9*1365 N = 12285 N  (←)

∑Fx = M*a = (M₁  +M₂)*a           (→)

F₁ - F₂ = (M₁  +M₂)*a        

→       a = (F₁ - F₂) / (M₁  +M₂ ) = (12150-12285)N/(9*68+9*73)Kg

→       a = - 0.106 m/s^2            (←)

(b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?

If we apply  ∑Fx = M*a   for the team 1

F₁ - T = - M₁*a  ⇒   T = F₁ + M₁*a  

⇒   T = 12150 N + (9 * 68 Kg)*(0.106 m/s^2)

⇒ T = 12215.1064 N

If we choose the team 2 we get

- F₂ + T = - M₂*a  ⇒   T = F₂ - M₂*a  

⇒   T = 12285 N - (9 * 73 Kg)*(0.106 m/s^2)

⇒ T = 12215.1064 N

What is centripetal force?
daser333 [38]
The centripetal force is force acting on a body in circular motion. In circular motion, velocity is always on tangent and if we took 2 different positions on a circle, the change on velocity is a vector pointing in the middle of circle. In circular motion velocity is constant, and acceleration lies on radius of circle pointing to te middle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration, and the force is centripetal.

Which phrase describes an irregular galaxy O has a round shape O does not have a specific shape O has arms that extend from the
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

I think it does not have a specific shape

Explanation:

Irregular galaxies have no definite shape, which means that the second option is correct. They are definitely not round.

The "spiral galaxy" is the type of galaxy that has arms that extend from the center. These arms look "spiral," which influenced its name.  

They are actually smaller than the other types of galaxies. This makes them prone to collisions.
