•• CP Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope sit at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block AA has mass 15.0

kg, and block BB has mass mm. A constant horizontal force F=60.0 NF=60.0 N is applied to block AA (Fig. P4.38). In the first 5.00 s after the force is applied, block AA moves 18.0 m to the right. (a) While the blocks are moving, what is the tension TT in the rope that connects the two blocks? (b) What is the mass of block B?

Answer:

(a) T= 38.4 N

(b) m= 26.67 kg

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Kinematics

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s

We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

18= 0+  (1/2)*a*(5)²

a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s² to the right

We apply Newton's second law to the block A

∑Fx = m*ax

60-T = 15*1.44

60 - 15*1.44 = T

T = 38.4 N

We apply Newton's second law to the block B

∑Fx = m*ax

T = m*ax

38.4 = m*1.44

m= (38.4) / (1.44)

m = 26.67 kg

A large lightning bolt is observed to have a 19500 A current and move 36 C of charge. What was its duration?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current I is defined as the amount of electric charge Q (measured in Coulombs) that passes through a section of a conductor in each unit of time. The letter I is used to name the Intensity and its unit is the Ampere (A).

The intensity of electric current is expressed as:

I=\frac{Q}{t}

where:

I: Intensity expressed in Amps (A)

Q: Electric charge expressed in Coulombs (C)

t: Time expressed in seconds (s)

Being:

  • I= 19500 A
  • Q=36 C
  • t=?

Replacing:

19500 A=\frac{36 C}{t}

Solving:

19500 A*t= 36 C

t=\frac{36 C}{19500 A}

t= 1.85*10⁻³ s= 1.85 ms (being 1 s= 1,000 ms)

<u><em>Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms</em></u>

What are two things that determine our traits? If someone could answer asap, that would be awesome!
zepelin [54]
In thinking about inherited traits, geneticists use two important words: genotype and phenotype. Genotype refers to the genes an organism inherits from its parents and phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism: how it develops, looks, reacts and behaves. An inherited trait refers to a phenotypic characteristic, for example flower color, length of gestation or ability to metabolize cellulose. All traits have a genetic basis.

25 points and i will give brainliest +5 star rating to a correct a correct answer!!!!
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1.97 * 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

n = 1.52

Recall : speed of light (c) = 3 * 10^8 m/s

Speed (v) of light in glass:

v = speed of light / n

v = (3 * 10^8) / 1.52

v = 1.9736 * 10^8

Hence, speed of light in glass :

v = 1.97 * 10^8 m/s
