Answer:

From the figure,

The free-body diagrams for  and  are shown in the figures below. The only forces on the blocks are the upward tension  and the downward gravitational forces  and  . Applying Newton’s second law, we obtain:   

which can be solved to yield 

Substituting the result back, we have 

(a) With  and , the acceleration becomes   

(b) Similarly, the tension in the cord is

Scientists have been able to estimate the age of our solar system by dating _____
Alisiya [41]

Answer: The correct answer is "radiometric dating".

Explanation:

Radiometric dating: It is a technique which is used to estimate the age of the rocks. In this technique, there is neither daughter product or parent nuclide can leave or enter the material after its formation.

Radioactive atoms are unstable. It decays into stable daughter atom.

Firstly, measure the quantity of the unstable atoms which are left in rock. Then, compare remaining the quantity of the unstable atoms with the quantity of stable daughter atoms in the rock to calculate the passed time since that rock formed.

Therefore, Scientists have been able to estimate the age of our solar system by radiometric dating.

When a certain rubber band is stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude f = ax, where a is a constant. th
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a =  constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2}  [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} =  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Answer:  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Igneous rock can be changed into which type of rock through the application of heat and pressure?
marin [14]

Answer:

metamorphic rock

Explanation:

Igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure are applied to the rock.

Pressure and heat in the presence of a fluid phase cause metamorphic transformation of a prolith.

  • At the right temperature and pressure, an igneous rock will not form magma but will undergo mineralogical changes to form metamorphic rocks.
  • These changed rocks have different mineral facies that are different from those of the prolith.

Through heat and pressure, igneous rocks can be transformed into metamorphic rocks.

A water skier lets go of the tow rope upon leaving the end ofa
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1.35m

Explanation:

At the highest point of the jump, the vertical speed of the skier should be 0. So the 13m/s speed is horizontal, this speed stays the same from the jumping point to the highest point. The 14m/s speed at jumping point is the combination of both vertical and horizontal speeds.

The vertical speed at the jumping point can be computed:

v_v^2 + v_h^2 = v^2

v_v^2 + 13^2 = 14^2

v_v^2 = 196 - 169 = 27

v_v = \sqrt{27} = 5.2 m/s

When the skier jumps to the its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv_v^2/2

where m is the skier mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, v_v is the vertical velocity at jumping point, and h is the highest point.

Let g = 10m/s2

We can divide both sides of the equation by m:

gh = v_v^2/2

h = \frac{v_v^2}{2g} = \frac{27}{2*10} = 1.35 m
