Block A of mass M is on a horizontal surface of negligible friction. An identical block B is attached to block A by a light stri

ng that passes over an ideal pulley. The tension force exerted on block A after the system is released from rest has magnitude T. Block B is then replaced by a block of mass 2M and the system again released from rest.
Which of the following is a correct expression for the tension force now exerted on block A?

a) 12T b) 23T c) 34T d) 43T e) 2T

Answer:

T’= 4/3 T  

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer e

Explanation:

For this problem let's use Newton's second law applied to each body

Body A

X axis

      T = m_A a

Axis y

     N- W_A = 0

Body B

Vertical axis

     W_B - T = m_B a

In the reference system we have selected the direction to the right as positive, therefore the downward movement is also positive. The acceleration of the two bodies must be the same so that the rope cannot tension

We write the equations

    T = m_A a

    W_B –T = M_B a

We solve this system of equations

     m_B g = (m_A + m_B) a

    a = m_B / (m_A + m_B) g

In this initial case

     m_A = M

     m_B = M

     a = M / (1 + 1) M g

     a = ½ g

Let's find the tension

    T = m_A a

    T = M ½ g

    T = ½ M g

Now we change the mass of the second block

    m_B = 2M

    a = 2M / (1 + 2) M g

    a = 2/3 g

We seek tension for this case

    T’= m_A a

    T’= M 2/3 g

   

Let's look for the relationship between the tensions of the two cases

   T’/ T = 2/3 M g / (½ M g)

   T’/ T = 4/3

   T’= 4/3 T

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer  e

What colour would you see if white light on a magenta t-shirt?
maw [93]

Answer:In Example A, white light (i.e., a mixture of red, green and blue) shines upon a magenta filter. Magenta absorbs its complementary color - green. Thus, green is subtracted from white light.

An RLC series circuit consists of a 50 Ω resistor, a 200 μF capacitor, and a 120-mH inductor whose coil has a resistance of 20 Ω
solmaris [256]

Answer:

182.9 Volts

Explanation:

R = resistance of the resistor = 50 Ω

C = capacitance of the capacitor = 200 μF = 200 x 10⁻⁶ F

L = Inductance of the inductor = 120 mH = 0.12 H

f = frequency = 60 Hz

Capacitive reactance is given as

X = (2πfC)⁻¹

X = (2(3.14) (60) (200 x 10⁻⁶))⁻¹

X = 13.3 Ω

Inductive reactance is given as

X' = 2πfL

X' = 2(3.14) (60) (0.12)

X' = 45.2 Ω

Impedance of the circuit is given as

z = √(R² + (X' - X)²)

z = √(50² + (45.2 - 13.3)²)

z = 59.31 Ω

V = rms emf of the source = 240 Volts

rms voltage across the inductor is given as

V' = V z⁻¹ X'

V' = (240) (59.31)⁻¹ (45.2)

V' = 182.9 Volts

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is greater than that on Earth. On Jupiter, a person will weigh .
Lerok [7]
The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 24.79 m/s²,
compared to 9.8 m/s² on Earth ... a ratio of about 2.53 .

So if a person or object were somehow transported to Jupiter,
he/it would weigh

           (2.53) times (Earth weight)

there.

An ohmic dipole of resistance 100 ohm is crossed by a current of intensity 120 ma. Calculates the voltage across this chemical d
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

12.0 Volt

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Resistance of the ohmic dipole (R): 100 Ohm

Intensity of current (I): 120 mA (0.120 A)

Step 2: Calculate the voltage (V) across this chemical dipole

To calculate the voltage across the ohmic dipole, we will use Ohm's law.

I = V/R

V = I × R

V = 0.120 A × 100 Ohm = 12.0 V
