The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th

e large mass, m2, falls through a height h and hits the floor, and the small mass, m2, rises through a height h.
Part A: Find the speed of the masses just before m2 lands, giving your answer in terms of m1, m2, g, and h. Assume the ropes and pulley have negligible mass and that friction can be ignored.
Part B: Evaluate your answer to part A for the case h = 1.7 m , m1 = 3.5 kg , and m2 = 4.3 kg.

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

E_i = E_f

0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}

v_f = 1.8486m/s

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

If you increase the frequency of a sound wave four times what will happen to its speed
Anika [276]

Answer: The correct answer is "the speed of the wave becomes four times".

Explanation:

The relation between the speed, frequency and the wavelength is as follows:

v=f\lambda

Here, v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelength.

The speed of the sound wave is directly proportional to the frequency.

In the given problem, if the speed of the sound wave is increased four times then the speed of the sound becomes four times.

Therefore, the speed of the sound wave becomes four times.

The value of acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto is about . 0.61 meters/second2. How much will an object that weighs 250 ne
Annette [7]
First, determine the mass of the object by dividing its weight on Earth by 9.8 m/s² as shown below,
                                   m = 250 N / 9.8 m/s² = 25.51 kg
Then, multiply the obtained mass by the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto. 
                                  W (in Pluto) = (25.51 kg) x (0.61 m/s²)  = 15.56 N
Therefore, the object will only weigh 15.56 N.

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end
sdas [7]

Answer:0.8\ mm

Explanation:

Given

length of wire l=75\ cm

change in length \Delta l=1.85\ mm

mass of wire m=10\ kg

Young's modulus for silver E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2

load on wire F=mg

F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg

change in length is given by

\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}

Where A=area of cross-section

A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}

A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}

A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}

A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2

\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }

\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}

\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m

\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm
