Three masses are arranged on a table with pulleys, as shown. The pulleys and string are taken to be massless. There is a coeffic

ient of kinetic friction μk = 0.2 between m3 and the table. If m1 =4kg, m3=6kg and m2 =12kg, then the acceleration of the masses is
The figure looks like a table with a box in the middle attached to string and two pulleys on either side with two other boxes hanging off the table.

Answer:

3.03 m/s²

Explanation:

m₂ > m₁, so m₁ will move up, m₂ will move down, and m₃ will move to the right.

Sum of the forces on m₁:

∑F = ma

T₁ − m₁g = m₁a

T₁ = m₁g + m₁a

Sum of the forces on m₂:

∑F = ma

T₂ − m₂g = m₂(-a)

T₂ = m₂g − m₂a

Sum of the forces on m₃ in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − m₃g = 0

N = m₃g

Sum of the forces on m₃ in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T₂ − T₁ − F = m₃a

T₂ − T₁ − Nμ = m₃a

Substituting and solving for acceleration:

(m₂g − m₂a) − (m₁g + m₁a) − (m₃g)μ = m₃a

m₂g − m₂a − m₁g − m₁a − m₃gμ = m₃a

g (m₂ − m₁ − m₃μ) = (m₁ + m₂ + m₃) a

a = g (m₂ − m₁ − m₃μ) / (m₁ + m₂ + m₃)

Given m₁ = 4 kg, m₂ = 12 kg, m₃ = 6 kg, and μ = 0.2:

a = 9.81 (12 − 4 − 6×0.2) / (4 + 12 + 6)

a = 3.03 m/s²

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
slava [35]
A. Is very attractive. If it's sublimation directly from water vapor in the air to ice on the glass, then yes. But from liquid water mist to water ice, no. Ice is less dense than water. That's why cubes float in your soda. Better leave 'A' alone. . . . D. Ice pellets turn to liquid. That one's good.

How do I find the cosine of theta.
NNADVOKAT [17]

The value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

<h3>What is cosine of an angle?</h3>

The cosine of an angle is defined as the sine of the complementary angle.

The complementary angle equals the given angle subtracted from a right angle, 90.

cos θ = sin(90 - θ)

For example, if the angle is 30°, then its complement is 60°

cos 30 = sin(90 - 30)

cos 30 = sin 60

0.866 = 0.866

<h3>Cosine of an angle with respect to sides of a right triangle</h3>

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse side

adjacent side of the given right triangle is calculated as follows;

adj² = 10² - 2²

adj² = 100 - 4

adj² = 96

adj = √96

adj = 9.8

cos θ = 9.8/10

cos θ = 0.98

Thus, the value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

A train slows from 60m/s to 20m/s in 50s
Dovator [93]

Answer:

a = -4/5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

a = (20 m/s - 60 m/s) / 50 s

a = -40 m/s / 50 s

a = -4/5 m/s^2

hope this helps! <3
