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

__________________________ are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Planets are bodies of rock or gas that are named after ancient gods.

Asteroids and Meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.

The terrestrial planets are more like the Earth.

The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter.

Explanation:

The planets and other stars in our solar system were similarly baptized. The planets were named after ancient gods. Other stars were baptized with names chosen by scientists or according to their peculiarity. Most of the planets were baptized by ancient Chinese astronomers, and later, by Babylonians. But over time different civilizations changed the names of the planets.

An asteroid is a smaller body in the solar system, usually on the order of just a few hundred kilometers. Meteoroids, in turn, are fragments of rocks that form from comets and asteroids. The luminous effect is produced when fragments of celestial bodies ignite in contact with the Earth's atmosphere due to friction. Both asteroids and meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.

The terrestrial planets are the most similar to the earth. These planets are those formed mainly by rocks and metals, have a solid surface without the incidence of rings, as is the case with Mercury, Venus and Mars.

The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter. This probe has already given us several unprecedented discoveries about the largest gas giant in the Solar System, in addition to sending us sensational images showing the complex and beautiful atmosphere of the planet.

The sun emits electromagnetic waves with a power of 4.0 × 10²⁶ W. Determine the intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

I_v = 2,700 W / m^2

I_m = 610 W / m^2

I_s = 16 W / m^2

Explanation:

Given:

- The Power of EM waves emitted by Sun P_s = 4.0*10^26 W

- Radius of Venus r_v = 1.08 * 10^11 m

- Radius of Mars r_m = 2.28 * 10^11 m

- Radius of Saturn r_s = 1.43 * 10^12 m

Find:

Determine the intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun just outside the atmospheres of (a) Venus, (b) Mars, and (c) Saturn.

Solution:

- We know that Power is related to intensity and surface area of an object follows:

                                        I = P / 4*pi*r^2

Where, A is the surface area of a sphere models the atmosphere around the planets.

a)

- The intensity at the surface of Venus is calculated as:

                                       I_v = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_v

                                       I_v = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(1.08*10^11)^2

                                       I_v = 2,700 W / m^2

b)

- The intensity at the surface of Mars is calculated as:

                                       I_m = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_m

                                       I_m = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(2.28*10^11)^2

                                      I_m = 610 W / m^2

c)

- The intensity at the surface of Saturn is calculated as:

                                       I_s = P_s / 4*pi*r^2_s

                                       I_s = 4.0*10^26 / 4*pi*(1.43*10^12)^2

                                      I_s = 16 W / m^2
