Two forces P and Q act on an object of mass 7.00 kg with Q being the larger of the two forces. When both forces are directed to

the left, the magnitude of the acceleration of the object is 1.30 m/s2. However, when the force P is directed to the left and the force Q is directed to the right, the object has an acceleration of 0.600 m/s2 to the right. Find the magnitudes of the two forces P and Q in newtons.

Answer:

P = 2.45 N

Q = 6.65 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law:

Unbalanced Force = ma

where,

m = mass = 7 kg

a = acceleration

In the first case when both forces P and Q act on left side:

Unbalanced Force = P + Q

a = 1.3 m/s²

Therefore,

P + Q = (7 kg)(1.3 m/s²)

P + Q = 9.1 N   ------------------------- equation 1

Now, in second case when both forces have different directions:

Unbalanced Force = Greater Force - Smaller Force

Unbalanced Force = Q - P

a = 0.6 m/s²

Therefore,

Q - P = (7 kg)(0.6 m/s²)

Q - P = 4.2 N   ------------------- equation 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, we get:

(Q + P) + (Q - P) = 9.1 N + 4.2 N

2 Q = 13.3 N

<u>Q = 6.65 N</u>

Using this value in equation 2, we get:

6.65 N - P = 4.2 N

<u>P = 2.45 N</u>

The blades in a blender rotate at a rate of 7700 rpm. when the motor is turned off during operation, the blades slow to rest in
Tpy6a [65]

Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

Change in angular speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

For this fan, speed at the end = 7700 rpm, speed at the end = 0 .

Change in angular speed = -7700 rpm

Angular acceleration = (-7700 rpm) / (2.5 sec)

<em>Angular acceleration = -3,080 rev per minute / sec</em>

That's a perfectly good and true answer to the question, but the units are ugly.  We really need to fix the units, and convert them into something prettier before we hand in this assignment.

1 rev = 2π radians, and

1 minute = 60 seconds .

So

Angular acceleration =

(-3,080 rev/min-sec) · (2π rad/rev) · (1 min/60 sec)

AngAccel = (-3,080 · 2π · 1 / 60) · (rev·rad·min / min·sec·rev·sec)

AngAccel = ( -102 and 2/3 · π) · (rad/s²)

<em>AngAccel = -322.5 radian/s²</em>

Answer: 1 = Heat

2=gas

3=it gets hot enough to boil because the metal conducts the heat into the water to heat it up and eventually boil.
