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

In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball m
ikadub [295]

(a) -39.4^{\circ}

Let's take the initial direction (before the collision) of the cue ball has positive x-direction.

Along the y-direction, the total initial momentum is zero:

p_y =0

Therefore, since the total momentum must be conserved, it must be zero also after the collision. So we write:

0 = m v_1 sin \phi_1 + m v_2 sin \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) sin (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) sin \phi_2

where

m is the mass of each ball

v_1= 4.60 m/s is the velocity of the cue ball after the collision

v_2 = 3.40 m/s is the velocity of the second ball after the collision

\phi_1=28.0^{\circ} is the angle of the cue ball with the x-axis

\phi_2 is the angle of the second ball

Solving for \phi_2, we find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion:

sin \phi_2 = -\frac{4.60 sin 28}{3.40}=-0.635\\\phi_2 = -39.4^{\circ}

(b) 6.69 m/s

To find the original speed of the cue ball, we analyze the situation along the horizontal direction.

First, we calculate the total momentum along the x-direction after the collision, which is:

p_x = m v_1 cos \phi_1 + m v_2 cos \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) cos (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) cos (-39.4^{\circ})=6.69 m

The initial total momentum along the x-direction as

p_x = m u

where

m is the mass of the cue ball

u is the initial velocity of the cue ball

The momentum along this direction must be conserved, so we can equate the two expressions and find the value of u:

mu = 6.69 m\\u = 6.69 m/s

If you have two uncertainties, and they are from two different sources and contribute to the uncertainty of a measurement, what
Darya [45]

The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.

                           Δm = ∑  | \frac{dm}{dx_i} | \ \Delta x_i

Physical quantities are precise values ​​of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.

When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the  cases, all the errors add up.

If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values ​​and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is

                      Δm = ∑  | \frac{dm}{dx_i } | \ \Delta x_i    | dm / dx_i | Dx_i

               

for instance:

If the magnitude is  a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error

                     m = \frac{m_1+m_2}{2}

                     Δm = | \frac{dm}{dx_1} |  Δx₁ + | \frac{dm}{dx_2} | Δx₂

                     \frac{dm}{dx_1} = ½

                     \frac{dm}{dx_2} = ½

                     Δm = \frac{1}{2} Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂

                     Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂

In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.

A baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s. How high does it go?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s, we want to determine the maximum height of the ball. Using the projecile formula;

Max height H = u²/2g

u is the initial velocity of the body = 27m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H = 27²/2(9.81)

H = 729/19.62

H = 37.16m

Hence the ball went 37.16m high
