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

3 A rocket of mass 1200 kg is travelling at 2000 m/s. It fires its engine for 1 minute. The forward thrust provided by the rocke
natita [175]

The impulse shared by the object equals the difference in momentum of the object. In equation form,

F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the difference in momentum.

<h3>How to calculate  thrust provided by the rocket engines is 10 kN (10 000 N).?</h3>

a)There is this impulse-momentum change equation.

where m$ is the mass of a body, $F$ is a force acting to the body, $t$ is time and $D E L A T A N\}=V_{2}-V_{1}$ is the change of velocity.We consider everything is happen along a straight line, and gravitation does not participate.So, the increase of momentum is $\mathrm{F}^{*} \mathrm{t}=10000 \mathrm{~N} * 60$ seconds $=600000 \mathrm{~N}^{*} \mathrm{~s}=600000\left(\mathrm{~kg}^{*} \mathrm{~m}\right)^{*} \mathrm{~s} / \mathrm{s}^{\wedge} 2=600000 \mathrm{~kg}{ }^{*} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.

We consider everything exits happen along a straight line, and gravitation does not participate.

So, the increase of momentum is F×t = 10000 N × 60 seconds = 600000 N*s = 600000 (kg*m)*s/s^2 = 600000 kg*m/s.

$$\Delta(\mathrm{V})=\frac{\mathrm{F.t}}{\mathrm{m}}=\frac{600000}{1200}=500 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} .$$

New velocity after  engine was firing during 60 seconds is 2000 + 500 = 2500 m/s.

Force of 10N down,10N to the right,and 5N to the left are acting on a ball .it acceleration horizontally to the right.what other
denpristay [2]

Answer:

A 10 N force pointing up

Explanation:

If the net acceleration of the object is horizontal pointing to the right, that means that all vertical forces must have canceled out, and the only ones "unbalanced" are the horizontal ones (10 N to the right minus 5 N to the left giving a net force of 5 N to the right).

Since they mentioned only one vertical force pointing down (10 N), there must be another one of same magnitude but pointing in opposite direction (up).

Then there must also be a 10 N force pointing up acting on the object.

Three identical capacitors are connected in parallel to a battery. if a total charge of q flows from the battery, how much charg
muminat

Each capacitor carry the same charge 'q'.

Discussion:
The voltage from the battery is distributed equally across all of the capacitors when they are linked in series. The three identical capacitors' combined voltage is computed as follows:

V_{T} = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

This voltage may also be calculated using capacitance and charge;

V = Q/ C

V_{T} = V₁ +V₂ +V₃

Provided that the total charge is 'q', hence the total voltage can be expressed as:

V_{T} = (Q/C₁) + (Q/C₂) + (Q/C₃) = Q(1/C₁ +1/C₂ +1/C₃)

Therefore from the above explanation, it is concluded that each and every capacitor carry same charge 'q'.

explain how the composition of a star that will form a billon years in the future will differ the composition of our sun.
Grace [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Basically the star slowly burns its hydrogen into Helium. Depending on the mass, the star will have a turbulent core where the Helium will be fully mixed or a radiative core where the helium will settle at the centre (remember it's heavier than Hydrogen). The second case is what happens in the Sun.
