Buckets and a Pulley Two buckets of sand hang from opposite ends of a rope that passes over an ideal pulley. One bucket is full
marin [14]

Answer:

A: T = 120 N

B: T = 88.42 N

C: T = 70 N

Explanation:

Part A:

Since, the lighter bucket is supported by my had. So, the only unbalanced force in the system is the weight of heavier bucket. Hence, the tension in rope will be equal to the weight of heavier bucket.

<u>T = 120 N</u>

<u></u>

Part B:

This is the case where, two masses hang vertically on both sides of the pulley. To find the tension in such case we have the formula:

T = (2 m₁m₂g)/(m₁+m₂)

where,

m₁ = mass of heavier object = W₁/g = (120 N)/(9.8 m/s²) = 12.24 kg

m₁ = mass of lighter object = W₂/g = (70 N)/(9.8 m/s²) = 7.14 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = [(2)(12.24 kg)(7.14 kg)(9.8 m/s²)]/(12.24kg + 7.14 kg)

T = 1713.6 N.kg/19.38 kg

<u>T = 88.42 N</u>

<u></u>

Part C:

Since, the heavier bucket is on ground. So, its weight is balanced by the normal reaction of the ground. The only unbalanced force in the system is the weight of lighter bucket. Hence, the tension in rope will be equal to the weight of lighter bucket.

<u>T = 70 N</u>

Electrostatic precipitator in chimneys of factories and hybrid vehicle technology can help in curbing air pollution. How? plzzzz
nexus9112 [7]
It helps reduce the amount of carbon emissions released into the air
<span>An electrostatic precipitator is a filtration device that removes fine particles, like dust and smoke, from a flowing gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge minimally impeding(slowing down) the flow of gases through the unit.

a device for removing small particles, as of smoke, dust, or oil, from a gas, as air, by passing the gas first through an electrically charged screen that gives a charge to the particles, then between two charged plates where the particles are attracted to one <span>surface.

What is latent heat energy's definiton
tamaranim1 [39]
The heat energy which has to be supplied to change the state of a substance is called its latent heat. Latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of the particles of the substance, so the temperature of a substance does not rise during the change of state. :))

Suppose a 350-g kookaburra (a large kingfisher bird) picks up a 75-g snake and raises it 2.5 m from the ground to a branch. (a)
mafiozo [28]

(a) The work done by the bird to raise the snake on the branch is equal to the product between the weight of the snake and the height of the branch above the ground:

W_1 = mg h

where m=75 g=0.075 kg is the mass of the snake and h=2.5 m is the height of the branch with respect to the ground. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

W_1 = (0.075 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(2.5 m)=1.84 J


(b) The work the bird did to raise its own centre of mass from the ground to the branch is equal to the product between the bird's weight and the height of the branch:

W_2 = mgh

where m=350 g=0.35 kg is the mass of the bird. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

W_2 = (0.35 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(2.5 m)=8.58 J
