A 2.00-kg textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diameter

is 0.150 m, to a hanging book with mass 3.00 kg. The system is released from rest, and the books are observed to move 1.20 m in 0.800 s. (a) What is the tension in each part of the cord? (b) What is the moment of inertia of the pulley about its rotation axis?

Given that,

Mass of textbook Mb = 2kg

Initially at rest Ub=0m/s

diameter of pulley d = 0.15m

Then, the radius is r = d/2 =0.15/2 = 0.075m

A hang book of mass Mh = 3kg

Initial at rest too Uh = 0m/s

Distance moved = 1.2m in t = 0.8s

Check attachment for free body diagram and better understanding

Analysis of the mass of textbook on table

Using Newton second law

ΣFx = m•ax

T1 = Mb•ax

T1 = 2•ax, ............ equation 1

Now, analysis of the hanged body

Using the same newton's law

ΣFy = m•ay

T2 — Mh•g = —3•ay,

ay is negative because it is moving in the negative direction

Then, T2 = Mh•g — 3•ay

T2 = 3×9.81 —3•ay

T2 = 29.43 — 3•ay, ............... equation 2

Now, the body moves 1.2m in t=0.8second

The initial velocity of the body is 0m/s

Using equation of motion to calculate the acceleration (a)

S=ut+½at²

1.2 = 0•t + ½ × a × 0.8²

1.2 = 0 + 0.32a

0.32a =1.2

a = 1.2/0.32

a = 3.75m/s²

Since the body are connected by an I inextensive string, their acceleration are the same i.e. ax=ay=a=3.75m/s²

So, back to equation 1

T1 = 2•ax

T1 = 7.5 N

Also, back to equation 2

T2 = 29.43 — 3•ay

T2 = 29.43 — 3 × 3.75

T2 = 29.43 — 11.25

T2 = 18.18 N

b. Torque?

Modelling the pulley as a rigid body

Then, applying equilibrium of torque

Clockwise torque = anti-clockwise torque

Σ τ = (T2-T1)r = Iα

Where α is angular acceleration

Relationship between angular acceleration and radial acceleration is given as a=αr

Therefore,

(T2-T1)r = Iα

Since α=a/r

(T2-T1) = Ia/r

Cross multiply

(T2-T1)r² = Ia

(18.18 — 7.5) × 0.075² = I(3.75)

10.68×0.075² = 3.75I

0.060075 = 3.75I

Then, I = 0.060075/3.75

I = 0.01602 kgm²

I ≈ 0.016 kgm²

Then, the moment of inertia is 0.016 kgm²

Which of the following is a process that occurs at divergent boundaries?
PIT_PIT [208]
The appropriate answer is 4. The formation of Mid-Ocean ridges. There are two types of divergent margins: continental separation and oceanic floor spreading. Where the sea floor separates magma upwells and new oceanic crust is formed. Mid ocean ridges are home to hydrothermal vents. These support a unique ecosystem of marine organisms. The Mid- Atlantic Ridge where the African and Eurasian plates separate from the North and South American plates.

A cold front moves through and the temperature drops by 20 degrees. in which temperature scale would this 20 degree change repre
nalin [4]
In the Celsius scale each degree is one part of 100 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between boiling and freezing temperatures of water is 100 ° - 0 ° = 100 °, so one degree Celsius is one part of 100.

In the Farenheit scale, each degree is one part of 180 degrees. This is because in this scale the difference between the boiling and freezind temperatures are 212 ° - 32 ° = 180°, so one degree Farenheti is one part of 180.

That means that 1 °C is a larger amount than 1 °C, so 20°C is a larger amount than 20°F.

Conclusion: 20 degree change represents a larger change in Celsius scale.

9. Which of the following characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? A. Water is liquid at roo
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm^3 and the density of the water is 0.9998 g/cm^3.

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.
