A cart of mass M = 2.40 kg can roll without friction on a level track. A light string draped over a light, frictionless pulley c

onnects the cart to a hanger with mass m = 0.50 kg. The cart is released from rest, allowing it to roll, pulled by the falling hanger.
What is the formula for the acceleration a of the hanger in terms of the tension T, the hanger's mass m, and the acceleration of gravity g? The key for the formula entries assumes the following: T and g are positive numbers, and in the coordinate system up and right are positive, while down and left are negative. Hint: Get a piece of paper and draw careful free body diagrams of the cart and the hanger. Make sure that the vector for the tension force in each diagram has the same length.

Answer:

Part a)

a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}

Part b)

a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}

Part c)

a = \frac{mg}{M + m}

Part d)

a = 1.35 m/s^2

Explanation:

Part a)

For hanger we know that it will have tension force upwards while it has downwards its weight so we will have

mg - T = ma

so we have

a_{hanger} = g - \frac{T}{m}

Part b)

now for car that is rolling on the floor the net force is given as

F = Ma

T = Ma

a_{cart} = \frac{T}{M}

Part c)

now we know that the cart and the hanger both are connected to each other

so they must have same acceleration

so we will have

T = Ma

mg - Ma = ma

a = \frac{mg}{M + m}

Part d)

now we know that

M = 2.40 kg

m = 0.50 kg

so we will have

a = \frac{0.50(9.81)}{2.40 + 0.50}

a = 1.35 m/s^2

Show the equation of simple pendulum to be dimensionally consistent
nataly862011 [7]
T is in seconds (s) 

<span>2pi is dimensionless </span>

<span>L is in meters (m) </span>

<span>g is in meters per second squared (m/s^2) </span>

<span>so you can write the equation for the period of the simple pendulum in its units... </span>

<span>s=sqrt(m/(m/s^2)) </span>

<span>simplify</span>

<span>s=sqrt(m*s^2*1/m) cancelling the m's </span>

<span>s=sqrt(s^2) </span>

<span>s=s </span>

<span>therefore the dimensions on the left side of the equation are equal to the dimensions on the right side of the equation.</span>

a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

where

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i is the initial angular speed

\Delta t is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s

Substituting,

\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s

Substituting,

\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm

What is 1113.28 in a sig fig?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

6 significant figure

Explanation:

The digits 111328 all are 6 figures with no figure being zero, neither zero after the other digits. In this case, all the numbers are significant and since they are only six numbers, then this is a six significant figure. In case we add another zero after digit 8, the zero is not significant but if added either infront of 8 or 2, the zero becomes significant.
