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

A car traveling at 50 m/s uniformly accelerates to 60 m/s over an 58 second interval. What is the displacement?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

here u = 50m/s

v = 60m/s

t = 58 s

then a = (60-50)/58 m/s2

= 0.17m/s2

now s= ut+1/2at2

so , 50×58+0.5×0.17×(58)^2 m

= 3185.94 m

= 3.18 km

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her orig
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

2406 miles

Explanation:

Let A be the starting position, B the junction position and C the final position after flying the 3.5 hrs. Also, let b be the distance from the starting point:

\angle ABC =(180-10) \textdegree=170\textdegree

#Distance traveled in 1.5hrs is;

c=690x1.5\\=1035mi

#Distance traveled in next two hrs:

a=690\times 2\\=1380mi

#Now using the Cosine Rule:

b^2=a^2+c^2-2ab\cos B\\\\=1380^2+1035^2-2(1380)(1035)cos170\textdegree\\\\b^2=5788.83\\\\b\approx 2406.00 \ mi

Hence, the pilot is 2406 miles from her starting position.

How does the currently accepted model of the nucleus provide evidence of the existence of the strong nuclear force?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Protons and neutrons are all attracted to each other as a result - the strong nuclear force. This is an attractive force that only has an effect over a very short range in the nucleus.
