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

Suppose a 49-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.11. If a person weighing 585 N sits on t
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

69.74 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of sled=49 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction,\mu_k=0.11

Weight of person=585 N

Total weight==mg=49+585=634 N

We know that

Force needed to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed,F=Kinetic friction

F=\mu_k N

Where N= Normal=mg

F=0.11\times 634=69.74 N

Hence, the force is needed  to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed=69.74 N

Two particles, one with charge -5.45 × 10^-6 C and one with charge 4.39 × 10^-6 C, are 0.0209 meters apart. What is the magnitud
Levart [38]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, q_1=-5.45\times 10^{-6}\ C

Charge 2, q_2=4.39\times 10^{-6}\ C

Distance between charges, r = 0.0209 m

1. The electric force is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{-5.45\times 10^{-6}\times 4.39\times 10^{-6}}{(0.0209)^2}

F = -492.95 N

2. Distance between two identical charges, r=0.0209\ m

Electric force is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_3^2}{r^2}

q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}

q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{492.95\times (0.0209)^2}{9\times 10^9}}

q_3=4.89\times 10^{-6}\ C

Hence, this is the required solution.

A square loop of wire is held in a uniform 0.24 T magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The length of
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field of 0.24T

B = 0.24T

Field perpendicular to plane i.e 90°

Rate of decrease of length of side of square is 5.4cm/s

dL/dt = 5.4cm/s = 0.054m/s

Since it is decreasing

Then, dL/dt = -0.054m/s

When L is 14cm, what is the EMF induced?

L = 14cm = 0.14m

EMF is give as

ε = - dΦ/dt

Where flux is given as

Φ = BA

Where A is the area of the square

A = L²

Then, Φ = BL²

Substituting this into the EMF

ε = - dΦ/dt

ε = - d(BL²)/dt

B is constant

ε = - Bd(L²)/dt

ε = -2BL dL/dr

ε = -2 × 0.24 × 0.14 × -0.054

ε = 3.63 × 10^-3 V

ε = 3.63mV

A length of wire is cut into five equal pieces. the five pieces are then connected in parallel, with the resulting resistance be
ycow [4]
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} +  \frac{1}{R_2} + ...
In our problem, we have 5 identical resistor of resistance R, so their equivalent resistance is
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  5 (\frac{1}{R} )
The problem also says that the equivalent resistance is R_{eq}= 17 \Omega, so we can find the resistance R of each piece of wire:
R=5 R_{eq} = 5 \cdot 17 \Omega = 85 \Omega

In the initial wire, it's like the 5 pieces are connected in series, so the equivalent resistance of the wire is just the sum of the resistances of the 5 pieces:
R_{wire} = 5 R = 5 \cdot 85 \Omega = 425 \Omega
