Find the acceleration of the system and the tension in the ropes for the system shown. The table mass is 30 kg and the hanging m
marusya05 [52]

The system's tension is 616 N and acceleration is 5.6 m / s^{2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

From newton’s second law of motion which state that net force acting on a body is product of mass of a body and acceleration of a body which is given as,

             F_{n e t}=m_{t o t} \times a

Where,

F_{n e t} is net force acting on body

m_{\mathrm{tot}} is mass of body

a is acceleration of body

Given values  

Table mass (m) = 30 kg

Hanging mass (m) = 40 kg

                a=\frac{F_{n e t}}{m_{\mathrm{tot}}}=\frac{m \times g}{m_{\mathrm{tot}}}

Put the value for m = hanging mass = 40 kg and g=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}, we get

                  a=\frac{40 \times 9.8}{30+40}=\frac{392}{70}=5.6 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

The tension in the ropes,  T=(m \times g)+(m \times a)

Here, m as hanging mass

T = tension, N or  k g m / s^{2}

m = mass, kg  

g = gravitational force, 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

a = acceleration, m / s^{2}

          T = (40 \times 9.8)+(40 \times 5.6) = 392+224 = 616 N

How can i prove the conservation of mechanical energy?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

Volcanologists and seismologist are specialzed in what
antiseptic1488 [7]

The answer is:

They are specialized in geology and geophysics

1) Volcanologists are scientific researchers who study the properties of volcanoes and develop the science of predicting volcanic eruptions accurately.

- Volcanoes are the results of fissures in the earth's crust, from which magma, gases, rocks, and ashes can erupt.  


-Volcanic eruptions and their impact on the atmosphere are investigated by specialist geologists known as volcanologists.


A) Volcanologists are scientists who use a variety of sophisticated equipment to measure and analyze volcanic activity, lava, rock, ashes and gases as well as earthquakes caused by eruptions.


B) Also, they measure the magnitude and intensity of explosions, placing them on a scale from 1 to 8 [volcanic explosivity index].  


C)Volcanologists monitor both active and dormant volcanoes to try to predict eruptions and minimize adverse effects on people and their environment.


D)Also, they spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes to gain a better understanding of the processes behind the volcanic activity and the impact former eruptions had in shaping the climate.


2) Seismologists are Earth scientists, specialized in geophysics, who study the genesis and the propagation of seismic waves in geological materials.


-Their research aims at interpreting the geological composition and structures of the Earth. In the case of earthquakes, seismologists evaluate the potential dangers and seek to minimize their impact through the improvement of construction standards.
