Answer:

ΔδB = 5.7 m

Explanation:

Given

mA = 20 Kg

mB = 30 Kg

vA = 3 m/s

vA0 = vB0 = 0 m/s (the blocks released from rest)

Since the cable length (L) is constant

3*δA + δB = L

3*ΔδA = - ΔδB

If we apply

d(3*δA + δB)/dt = dL/dt

3*vA + vB = 0   ⇒    3*vA = - vB

vB = -3*(3 m/s)    ⇒    vB = - 9 m/s

We apply Conservation of Energy

TA0 + TB0 + vA0 + vB0 = TA + TB + vA + vB

0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0.5*mA*vA² + 0.5*mB*vB² + WA*ΔδA + WB*ΔδB

0 = 0.5*mA*vA² + 0.5*mB*(-3*vA)² + WA*(ΔδB/3) - WB*ΔδB

0 = 0.5*20 Kg*(3 m/s)² + 0.5*30 Kg*(-9 m/s)² + (20 Kg*9.81 m/s²)*(ΔδB/3) - (30 Kg*9.81 m/s²)*ΔδB

⇒   ΔδB = 5.7 m

The pic shown can help us to understand the question.

Answer:

5.70 m

Explanation:

3sₐ + sB = L

3∆sₐ = - ∆sB

3vₐ = -vB

3*3 = -vB

vB = -9 ms⁻²

T₁ + V₁ = T₂ + V₂

(0 + 0) + (0 + 0) =  1/2(20)(3)² + 1/2(30)(-9)² + 20*9.81*(sB/3) + 30*9.81* sB

0 =  90  +  1215  - 228.9sB

-1305 = - 228.9sB

sB = 1305/228.9 = 5.70 m

What is the function of a fixed resistor?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

  add resistance to a circuit

Explanation:

It depends on the design in which it is incorporated. A fixed resistor has many uses, including, but not limited to ...

  • dropping voltage
  • limiting current
  • contributing to a time delay
  • adjusting frequency response
  • eliminating (or creating) signal reflections
  • acting as a fuse
  • calibrating or trimming a response
  • providing protection against electrical shock or ESD
  • acting as a reference when measuring variable resistors

Two substances, A and B, initially at different temperatures, come into contact and reach thermal equilibrium. The mass of subst
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of substance A is 1.16 J/g

Explanation:

The substances A and B come to a thermal equilibrium, therefore, the heat given by the hotter substance B is absorbed by the colder substance A.

The equation becomes:

Heat release by Substance B = Heat Gained by Substance A

The heat can be calculated by the formula:

Heat = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of substance

C = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = difference in temperature of substance

Therefore, the equation becomes:

(mCΔT) of A = (mCΔT) of B

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE A:</u>

m = 6.01 g

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = 46.1°C - 20°C = 26.1°C

C = ?

<u>FOR SUBSTANCE B:</u>

m = 25.6 g

ΔT = Initial Temperature - Final Temperature

ΔT = 52.2°C - 46.1°C = 6.1°C

C = 1.17 J/g

Therefore, eqn becomes:

(6.01 g)(C)(26.1°C) = (25.6 g)(1.17 J/g)(6.1°C)

C = (182.7072 J °C)/(156.861 g °C)

<u>C = 1.16 J/g</u>
