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

SIZIF [17.4K]

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.

For $m_{1}$ :

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

For $m_{2}$ :

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

For $m_{3}$ :

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

$m_{3} = 2384.5-1520.0$

$m_{3}$ = 864.5kg

A stone takes 5.4 seconds to fall from the top of a cliff. The cliff is

Allushta [10]

Answer:

143

Explanation:

Using one of the 3 fundamental equations in physics, y=vo*t+1/2gt^2, we can use this equation to find the total distance that was traveled.

Acceleration due to gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 and time is 5.4s, we also have no initial velocity.

Given this, we can plug in the known variables.

y=0t+1/2*9.8*5^2

simplify,

y=4.9*5.4^2

y=4.9*29.16

y=142.884m which we can round up to 143 meters

Final Answer: 143 meters

Shareen finds that when she drives her motorboat upstream she can travelwith a speed of only 8 m/s, while she moves with a speed

ANEK [815]

Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.

We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:

$v_b-v_s=8$

When she drives downstream the velocites point in the same direction then we have the equation:

$v_b+v_s=12$

hence we have the system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} v_b-v_s=8 \\ v_b+v_s=12 \end{gathered}$

Solving the first equation for the velocity of the boat we have:

$v_b=8+v_s$

Plugging this in the second equation we have:

$\begin{gathered} 8+v_s+v_s=12 \\ 2v_s=4 \\ v_s=\frac{4}{2} \\ v_s=2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the velocity of the stream is 2 m/s

Which of these items are made of cells? Check all that apply.

Katen [24]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Bacteria, Horses, Humans and Mushrooms.

Explanation:

All living organisms are made up of cells. A cell is a microscopic atomic unit and is made up of cytoplasm, one or more nuclei, and a membrane.

They are divided into eukaryotic cells (with nucleus) and prokaryotic cells (they do not have a nucleus).

Depending on the number of cells that living organisms have, they can be classified as single-celled organisms, which are made up of one cell. For example bacteria.

Or they can be multicellular organisms, formed by two or more cells, for example horses.
