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.

What is the formula for the acceleration a of the cart in terms of the tension T, and its mass M?
Formula for acart =
Use the two equations you found above to eliminate T to give the acceleration of the cart in terms of M, m and g. (Be careful about the sign of each acceleration!)
Revised formula for acart =
Calculate the the numerical value for the acceleration (Assume g = 9.81 m/s2).
Value of acart =

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

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

A sailboat moves north for a distance of 10.00 km when blown by a wind from the exact south with a force of 5.00 x 10^4 n. how m
Nataliya [291]
Work is defined as the force times the distance which is mathematically expressed W = Fxd. The given force is 5x10^4 and the distance is 10000 m (the distance is converted as meter because Nm = J) the work done by the wind is W = 5x10^4 N (10000) = 500 x 10^6 Joules.

mafiozo [28]

Answer;

D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air.

Explanation;

-Jet engines and rockets work on the same principle. They produce thrust through an internal pressure difference and, as explained by Newton’s Third Law of Motion, eject exhaust gases in an equal and opposite direction.

-The main difference between them is that jets get the oxygen to burn fuel from the air and rockets carry their own oxygen, which allows them to operate in space.

Additionally, Jet engines have two openings (an intake and an exhaust nozzle). Rocket engines only have one opening (an exhaust nozzle).
