a) The acceleration of the objects is 3.56 m/s^2

b) The tension in the string is 280.8 N

Explanation:

a)

We start by writing the equations of motion for the two masses attached to the pulley.

For the heavier mass, we have:

m_1 g - T = m_1 a (1)

where

m_1 = 45.0 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

T is the tension in the string

a is the acceleration of the system (here we assumed that the heavier mass accelerates downward)

For the lighter mass, we have

T-m_2 g = m_2 a (2)

where

T is the tension in the string

m_2 = 21.0 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a is the acceleration of the system (here we assumed that the lighter mass accelerates upward)

From (1) we get

T=m_1g - m_1 a

And substituting into (2),

(m_1 g - m_1 a)-m_2 g = m_2 a\\(m_1 -m_2)g  = (m_1+m_2)a\\a=\frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1+m_2}g=\frac{45-21}{45+21}(9.8)=3.56 m/s^2

b)

From the previous part of the problem we got an expression for the tension in the string:

T=m_1g - m_1 a

Where we have

m_1 = 45.0 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=3.56 m/s^2 is the acceleration, found in part a)

Susbtituting, we find

T=(45.0)(9.8)-(45.0)(3.56)=280.8 N

kari74 [83]

The answers to your questions are as written below:

  • The objects that represents a negatively charged particle is : Image B
  • The object that represents a positively charged molecule is : Image A
  • The object that represents an uncharged molecule is : Image C
  • The object the will not move when in an electric fied is : Image C

<h3>Different types of charges molecules</h3>

A negatively charged molecule move inwards when placed in an electric field while positively charged molecule placed in a electric field will move outwards the electric field.

A neutral/uncharged molecule will remains still when placd in an elctric field due to the absence of charges.

Hence we can concude that the answers to your questions are as listed above.
