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

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

v  = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2

where \Delta x is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}

k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2

E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m

\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

so, for the pellet will be

E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k

0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2

So

\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2  = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules

\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2  = 0.207519 \ Joules

v  = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }

v  = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is
Kazeer [188]
The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
F=qE
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C
