The same force that gives the standard 1 kg mass an acceleration of 1.00 m/s2 acts first on body A, producing an acceleration of

0.530 m/s2, and then on body B, producing an acceleration of 0.344 m/s2. Find the acceleration produced when A and B are attached and the same force is applied.
(The answer given is 0.209 m/s^2; HOW IS THIS CALCULATED... steps please). I tried and dont understand).

Answer:

The acceleration produced is $0.209 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

By the second law of Newton, the force F is equal to:

F = ma

Where m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration produced. So if The force gives the standard 1 kg mass an acceleration of 1.00 m/s2, that means that the force apply on A and B is equal to:

F = (1Kg) * (1.00m/s2) = 1 N

Then, if this force on A produce an acceleration of 0.530 $m/s^{2}$ , the mass of A is:

$F = m_A*a_A \\1 N = m_A* (0.530 m/s^{2} )\\\frac{1N}{0.530m/s^{2} } =m_A\\\\1.887Kg = m_A$

At the same way, if this force on B produce an acceleration of 0.344 $m/s^{2}$ , the mass of B is:

$F = m_B*a_B \\1 N = m_B* (0.344 m/s^{2} )\\\frac{1N}{0.344m/s^{2} } =m_B\\\\2.907Kg = m_B$

Therefore, if they are attached and the same force is applied, the acceleration is:

$F=(m_A+m_B)*a\\1N=(1.887Kg + 2.907Kg)*a\\1N = 4.794 Kg *a\\\frac{1N}{4.794Kg}=a\\ 0.209 m/s^{2} =a$

The way matter moves in a longitudinal wave

serg [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave, or wave that travels through matter, called the medium. In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is parallel to the direction that the wave travels. Places where particles of the medium crowd closer together are called compression's.

A helicopter travels west at 80 mph. It is moving above a car traveling on a highway at 80 mph. Given this information, you can

gavmur [86]

Answer:

d. at the same velocity

Explanation:

I will assume the car is also travelling westward because it was stated that the helicopter was moving above the car. In that case, it depends where the observer is. If the observer is in the car, the helicopter would look like it is standing still ( because both objects have the same velocity). If the observer is on the side of the road, both objects would be travelling at the same velocity. Also recall that, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes but speed is the rate at which object covers distance and it is not direction wise. Hence velocity is the best option.

What is the upper block's acceleration if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.13?

IgorLugansk [536]

Let us assume that pulley is mass less.

Let the tension produced at both ends of the pulley is T.

We are asked to calculate the acceleration of the block.

Let the masses of two bodies are denoted as $m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}\ respectively$

$Let\ m_{1} =1 kg\ and\ m_{2} =2 kg$

As per this diagram, the body having mass 1 kg is moving downward and the body having mass 2 kg is moving on the surface of the table.

Let the acceleration of each block is a .

For body having mass 1 kg:

The net force acting on 1 kg body will be-

$m_{1} g-T=m_{1} a$ [1]

Here tension in the rope will be vertically upward and weight of the body will be in vertical downward direction.

For body having mass 2 kg:

The coefficient of kinetic friction $[\mu]=0.13$

$Hence\ the\ frictional\ force\ F=\mu N$

$F=\mu m_{2} g$

Hence the net force acting on the body having mass 2 kg-

$T-\mu m_{2} g=m_{2} a$ [2]

Here the tension of the rope is towards right i.e along the direction of motion of the 2 kg block and frictional force is towards left.

Combining 1 and 2 we get-

$m_{1} g-T=m_{1}a$ [1]

$T-\mu m_{2}g= m_{2} a$ [2]

---------------------------------------------------

$[m_{1} -\mu m_{2} ]g=[m_{1} +m_{2} ]a$

$a=\frac{m_{1}-\mu m_{2}} {m_{1}+ m_{2}}*g$

$a=\frac{1-[2*0.13]}{1+2} *9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\frac{0.74}{3} *9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=2.417 m/s$ [ans]

On Earth, the number flux of solar neutrinos from the p-p chain is:

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of the tank = 50 kton

50 kton = 5 × 10⁷ kg

Since 18 grams of water will contain: 10 electrons × 6.023 × 10²³

Then;

5× 10⁷ kg will contain $( \dfrac{5 \times 10^7 \times 10^3}{18}) \times 10 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}$

= 1.67 × 10³⁴ electrons

(b)

Suppose:

$f_{neutrino} = \dfrac{2f_o}{26.2 MeV} = 6.7\times 10^{10} \ s^{-1} cm^{-2}$

Then;

10⁻⁶ of $f_{neutrino} = 6.7 \times 10^{10} \times 10^{-6} \ s^{-1} cm^{-2}$

$=6.7 \times 10^{4}\ s^{-1} cm^{-2}$

Thus, the number of high energy neutrinos which will interact with water is:

= $6.7 \times 10^4 \times \sigma$

= $6.7 \times 10^4 \times 10^{-43}$

= $6.7 \times 10^{-39} s^{-1}$

For 1.67 × 10³⁴ electrons, the detection rate is:

$6.7 \times 10^{-39} \times 1.67 \times 10^{34}$

$= 11.19 \times 10^{-5} \ s^{-1}$

= 9.668 per day
