Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor system.

The group of boxes accelerates at 1.516 m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387 N. Between the box of mass m2 and the box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304 N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three crtaes with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull=3615N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system.The group pf boxes accelerates at 1.516m/s2 to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m1 and the box of mass m2, the force meter reads F12=1387N. Between the box of mass m2 and box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23=2304N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless.

(a) What is the total mass of the three boxes?

(b) What is the mass of each box?

Answer: (a) Total mass = 2384.5kg;

               (b) m1 = 915kg;

                   m2 = 605kg;

                   m3 = 864.5kg;

Explanation: The image of the boxes is described in the picture below.

(a) The system is moving at a constant acceleration and with a force Fpull. Using Newton's 2nd Law:

F_{pull}=m_{T}.a

m_{T}=\frac{F_{pull}}{a}

m_{T}=\frac{3615}{1.516}

m_{T}=2384.5

Total mass of the system of boxes is 2384.5kg.

(b) For each mass, analyse each box and make them each a free-body diagram.

<u>For </u>m_{1}<u>:</u>

The only force acting On the m_{1} box is force of tension between 1 and 2 and as all the system is moving at a same acceleration.

m_{1} = \frac{F_{12}}{a}

m_{1} = \frac{1387}{1.516}

m_{1} = 915kg

<u>For </u>m_{2}<u>:</u>

There are two forces acting on m_{2}: tension caused by box 1 and tension caused by box 3. Positive referential is to the right (because it's the movement's direction), so force caused by 1 is opposing force caused by 3:

m_{2} = \frac{F_{23}-F_{12}}{a}

m_{2} = \frac{2304-1387}{1.516}

m_{2} = 605kg

<u>For </u>m_{3}<u>:</u>

m_{3} = m_{T} - (m_{1}+m_{2})

m_{3} = 2384.5-1520.0

m_{3} = 864.5kg

A 0.500-kg object connected to a light spring with a spring constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface
givi [52]

Answer:

a = 0.009 J

b = 0.19 m/s

c = 0.005 J and 0.004 J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the object, m = 0.5 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 20 N/m

Amplitude of the motion, A = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Displacement of the system, x = 2 cm = 0.02 m

a

Total energy of the system, E =

E = 1/2 * k * A²

E = 1/2 * 20 * 0.03²

E = 10 * 0.0009

E = 0.009 J

b

E = 1/2 * k * A² = 1/2 * m * v(max)²

1/2 * m * v(max)² = 0.009

1/2 * 0.5 * v(max)² = 0.009

v(max)² = 0.009 * 2/0.5

v(max)² = 0.018 / 0.5

v(max)² = 0.036

v(max) = √0.036

v(max) = 0.19 m/s

c

V = ±√[(k/m) * (A² - x²)]

V = ±√[(20/0.5) * (0.03² - 0.02²)]

V = ±√(40 * 0.0005)

V = ±√0.02

V = ±0.141 m/s

Kinetic Energy, K = 1/2 * m * v²

K = 1/2 * 0.5 * 0.141²

K = 1/4 * 0.02

K = 0.005 J

Potential Energy, P = 1/2 * k * x²

P = 1/2 * 20 * 0.02²

P = 10 * 0.0004

P = 0.004 J

Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 3 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 40 m above the surface of Earth.
melomori [17]

Explanation:

We will calculate the gravitational potential energy as follows.

                 P.E_{1} = mgz_{1}

       P.E_{1} = (\rho V)gz_{1}    

                    = 1000 kg/m^{3} \times 3 m^{3} \times 9.7 \times 40 m

                    = 1164000 J

or,                = 1164 kJ         (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Now, we will calculate the change in potential energy as follows.

             \Delta P.E = mg(z_{2} - z_{1})

                         = \rho \times V \times g (z_{2} - z_{1})

                         = 1000 \times 3 \times 9.7 (10 - 40)m

                         = -873000 J

or,                      = -873 kJ

Thus, we can conclude that change in  gravitational potential energy is -873 kJ.

A cheerleader lifts his 79.4 kg partner straight up off the ground a distance of 0.945 m before releasing her. the acceleration
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
To find out how much work he has done, we must first calculate force using the force formula (F= Mass*Acceleration). In this case, mass is 79.4 and acceleration is the gravitational constant of 9.8m/s, plugging this into the formula we find that force is 778.12Newtons. Next, we need to multiply force by the distance to get the amount of energy used to lift his partner once. Which is 778.12 * .945 = 735.32. Finally, we need to multiply 735.32 by the number of times he lifts his partner, 33, to get 735.32 * 33 to find that the energy he has expended 24,265.56 Joules of energy.

A small compass is placed near a very large piece of ferromagnetic material. Before the compass is placed near the material, it
NeTakaya

Answer:

it will move towards the object's magnetic south

Explanation:

The compass pints towards the earth geographic north because the magnetic south of the earth's magnetic field is located in there, if you placed such compass neaar the piece of ferromagnetic material, the magnetic field produced by the magnet will make the compass needle point towards its south magnetic pole, in the same fashion as it points to the earth's magnetic south. It will point to the object's south pole because the magnetic field will be stronger than the earth's (which is weak) that is because of the way magnetism works, opposite poles are attracted and similar poles will tend to separate from each other

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
