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

A 49 kg bear slides, from rest, 11 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 3.3 m/s just before hitting the ground.

Answer:

a) \Delta U_g=-5.3kJ

b) K=0.27kJ

c) F_f=0.45kN

Explanation:

the gravitational potential energy is given by:

U_g=m.g.h\\

\Delta U_g=m.g.h_f-m.g.h_i\\\Delta U_g=49kg*9.8m/s^2*(0m-11m)\\\Delta U_g=-5.3kJ

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^2\\

the initial kinetic energy is zero because the motion started from rest, so:

K=\frac{1}{2}*49kg*(3.3m/s^2)^2\\K=0.27kJ

applying the conservation of energy theorem:

U_g-W_f=K_f\\W_f=-(\Delta K+\Delta U)\\W_F=5.3kJ-0.27kJ\\W_F=-5.0kJ

The work done by the friction force is given by:

W_f=F_f.h.cos(\theta)\\

the angle of the force is 180 degrees because it's against the movement:

F_f=\frac{W_f}{h.cos(\theta)}\\\\F_f=\frac{-5.0kJ}{11m.cos(180^o)}\\\\F_f=0.45kN

An electric model train is accelerated at a rate of 8 m/s^2 by a 12 N force? What is the
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

m = 1.5 kg

Explanation:

Data:

  • Aceleration (a) = 8 m/s²
  • Force (F) = 12 N
  • Mass (m) = ?

Use formula:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{F}{a}}

Replace in the formula:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12N}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Equate the newtons:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12kg*\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Simplify m/s²:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12kg}{8}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{m =1.5kg}

What is the mass of the train?

The mass of the train is <u>1.5 kilograms.</u>
