Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley that is

suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended a distance 1.30 m, its speed is 3.00 m/s.
A) If the total mass of the two blocks is 17.0 kg, what is the mass of the more massive block?Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s^2. (mass 1)
B) What is the mass of the lighter block?
Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s^2. (mass 2)

Answer:

(A) M2 = 11.5 kg

(B) M1 = 5.5 kg

Explanation:

distance (h) = 1.3 m

speed (u) = 3 m/s

free fall acceleration (g) = 9.80 m/s^2

total masses (M1 + M2) = 17 kg .....equation 1

(A) from the conservation of energy, change in kinetic energy (KE) = change in potential energy (PE)

ΔKE = ΔPE

0.5 $v^{2}$ (M1) - (-0.5 $v^{2}$ (M2)) = gh ( M2 - M1)

0.5 $v^{2}$ (M1 + M2) = gh ( M2 - M1)

substituting all required detail in the equation above we have

0.5 x (3 x 3) x (17) = (9.8 x 1.3) x (M2 - M1)

76.5 = 12.74 x {M2 - M1)

(M2 - M1) = 76.5 / 12.74

M2 - M1 =6 kg ....equation 2

recall that the total mass : (M1 + M2) = 17 kg ... equation 1

we can solve the two equations above simultaneously by adding the two equations together

M1 + M2 = 17 kg ... equation 1

M2 - M1 = 6 kg ....equation 2

M1 + (-M1) + M2 + M2 = 17 + 6

2(M2) = 23

M2 = 11.5 kg

substituting the value to M2 into equation 1 we have

M1 + M2 = 17 kg ... equation 1

M1 + 11.5 = 17

M1 = 17 - 11.5 = 5.5 kg

M1 = 5.5 kg

Is it possible to get more work out of a machine then you put in yes or no?

stellarik [79]

All machines make work easier, but they don't increase the amount of work that is done. You can never get more work out of a machine than you put into it. In fact, a machine always does less work on an object than the user does on the machine. ... All machines involve motion, so they all have friction.

Relay of thermostate is not working why

Colt1911 [192]

Check the power source. Your thermostat may just not be connected right or at all. A blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or dead batteries will prevent the thermostat from turning on your furnace.

Dirty thermostat? That’ll cause issues. Clean up any dust, dirt, spider webs and other debris. Any of these things can coat the inside of the thermostat and interfere with both electrical and mechanical functions of the thermostat. Put this on your get-ready-for-winter cleaning list. Just use a soft, clean brush to clean the inside components gently. Don’t get anything wet. Also you can use a can of compressed air, such as is used for electronics, to clear debris.

Check for any loose wires or terminal screws inside the thermostat. Make sure wires aren’t corroded or detached. Never remove the thermostat cover without removing the batteries or turning off the power at the fuse or breaker box. Tighten screws and secure loose wires if needed.

It may be time to replace your thermostat is it’s old. They aren’t meant to last forever and an old thermostat may be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy and time spent tinkering with an outdated model. There are great programmable thermostats available now that are easy to use and simple to connect to your existing HVAC system. Click here for more info on programmable thermostats.

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied

never [62]

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

Force = Pressure x area

Force = 300 x 0.02 = 6N

In the form of radioactive decay known as alpha decay, an unstable nucleus emits a helium-atom nucleus, which is called an alpha

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Velocity will be $v=4.06\times10^7m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given mass of alpha particle m = 4 u $=4\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}kg=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg$

Charge on alpha particle $q=2e=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C=3.2\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on thorium particle $=90\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=144\times 10^{-19}C$

Diameter is given as d = 15 fm

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{15}{2}=7.5fm=7.5\times 10^{-15}m$

Potential energy is given by $E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r}=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 144\times 10^{-19}\times 3.2\times 10^{-19}}{7.5\times 10^{-15}}=5.529\times 10^{-12}J$

From energy conservation $\frac{1}{2}mv^2=5.529\times 10^{-12}$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}v^2=5.529\times 10^{-12}$

$v=4.06\times10^7m/sec$
