Two boxes on a horizontal plane with coefficient of friction µ are connected by a massless string. The left-hand box has mass m

and the right-hand box has mass 2m. A force F is applied to the right-hand mass at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal so that they move to the right at constant acceleration. What is the magnitude of the tensi

Answer:

T = (3μmg - Fcosθ)/2

Explanation:

Since the boxes move to the right, the net force on box of mass 2m is

Fcosθ - 2μmg + T = ma (1)where Fcosθ = horizontal component of applied force, 2μmg = frictional force and T = tension in string and a = acceleration of box

The net force on the box with mass m is

μmg - T = ma (2) where μmg = frictional force, T = tension and a = acceleration of boxes.

Equating (1) and (2) we have

Fcosθ - 2μmg + T = μmg - T

collecting like terms

Fcosθ - 2μmg - μmg = -T - T

Fcosθ - 3μmg = -2T

(3μmg - Fcosθ)/2 = T

T = (3μmg - Fcosθ)/2

The distance from Earth to the star Epsilon Eridani is about 10.5 light years. Which of the following statements is true?
Simora [160]
<span>The correct answer is B. - It would take a ray of light 10.5 light years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani, or vice-versa. Using our current technology it would take far longer than 21.0 years for a space ship from Earth to travel that far - I would have to guess many hundreds of years.</span>

How far did a frog jump if he travels at a rate of 2.1 m/s for 10 seconds?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21 m

Explanation:

The motion of the frog is a uniform motion (constant speed), therefore we can find the distance travelled by using

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed

t is the time

The frog in this problem has a speed of

v = 2.1 m/s

and therefore, after t = 10 s, the distance it covered is

d=(2.1)(10)=21 m

You send a beam of light from a material with index of refraction 1.21 into an unknown material. In order to help identify this
White raven [17]

Answer:

refractive index of the unknown material is 1.33.

Explanation:

μ₁ = 1.21

incidence angle (i) = 41.9°

refraction angle (r) = 37.3°

Let us assume μ be the refractive index of the unknown material

according to snell's law of refraction.

μ₁ sin i = μ₂ sin r

1.21 × sin 41.9° =  μ × sin 37.3°

μ = 1.33

hence the refractive index of the unknown material comes out top be 1.33
