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

On Earth, a brick has a mass of 10 kg and a weight of 5 lbs. What predictions could we make about the mass and weight of the bri
belka [17]

Answer:

Mass remains constant but weight reduces

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object so whether on moon or any other planet, it does not change despite the changes in acceleration.

Weight is a product of mass and acceleration due to gravity, expressed as W=mg where m is the mass, W is weight and g is acceleration. From the above formula, it is evident that when you decrease g, then W also decreases while m is constant. Similarly, when m is constant and g is increased then W also increases.

Therefore, for this case, since g decreases, the weight decreases but mass remains constant.

Suppose a plane accelerates from rest for 30 s, achieving a takeoff speed of 80 m/s after traveling a distance of 1200 m down th
Margaret [11]

Answer:

300 m

Explanation:

The train accelerate from the rest so u = 0 m/sec

Final speed that is v = 80 m/sec

Time t = 30 sec

The distance traveled by first plane = 1200 m

We know the equation of motion S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where s is distance a is acceleration and u is initial velocity

Using this equation for first plane 1200=0\times 30+\frac{1}{2}a30^2

a=2.67\frac{m}{sec^2}

As the acceleration is same for both the plane so a for second plane will be 2.67 \frac{m}{sec^2}

The another equation of motion is v^2=u^2+2as using this equation for second plane 40^2=0+2\times 2.67\times s

s = 300 m

What force causes weight? How is weight affected as an object moves farther away from the center of the earth?
stich3 [128]

Gravity affects weight of an object

Its weight reduces as it moves away from the center as gravity is strongest near the core and reduces as you move away

Hope this helps C:

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m
