When the system is experiencing a uniformly accelerated motion, there are a set of equations to work from. In this case, work is energy which consist solely of kinetic energy. That is, 1/2*m*v2. First, let's find the final velocity.

a = (vf - v0)/t
2.6 = (vf - 0)/4
vf = 10.4 m/s

Then W = 1/2*(2100 kg)*(10.4 m/s)2
W = 113568 J = 113.57 kJ

Answer:

p_k=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}}

Explanation:

Apply the momentum in each direction knowing that the impact is at the same time for the pieces so

p_x=m_1*v_1

p_x=200g*2.0m/s=0.4kgm/s

p_y=m_2*v_2

p_y=235g*1.5m/s=0.3525kgm/s

So the momentum in the other piece can be find knowing that

p_x^2+p_y^2=p_k^2

So:

p_k=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}}

p_k=\sqrt{0.4^2+0.3525^2}}=\sqrt{0.2842 kg^2*m^2/s^2}

p_k=0.5331kg*m/s

To find the velocity knowing the mass

p_k=m_k*v_k

v_k=\frac{p_k}{m_k}=\frac{0.5331 kg*m/s}{0.10kg}

v_k=5.331 m/s

Two objects (38.0 and 17.0 kg) are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. The pulley h
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a) 3.7 m/s^2

b) 231.8 N

Explanation:

Let m1 be mass of the first object (m1 = 38.0 kg) and let m2 be the mass of the second object (m2 = 17.0 kg ). Let a be the acceleration of the two objects. Let F1 be the force of gravity exerted on m1 and F2 be the force of gravity exerted on m2. Let M = m1 +m2

a)

F1 = m1g and F2 = m2g

So Fnet = F1 + F2

Since the pulleys will move in different directions when accelerating...

Fnet = F1 - F2

M×a = m1g - mg2

M×a = g×(m1 -m2)

a = g×(m1 - m2)/M

a = 9.8×(38 - 17)/(38 + 17)

a = 3.7 m/s^2

b)

Looking at the part for m2

Fnet  = T - m2g

-m2×a = T - m2g

T = m2(g - a)

T = 231.8 N

A metal sphere, X, has an initial net charge of −6 × 10−6 coulomb and an identical sphere, Y, has an initial net charge of +2 ×
STatiana [176]
When the two spheres touch each other, part of the charge recombine together. The part of charge that recombines is the excess of positive charge on sphere Y, Q_y = +2 \cdot 10^{-6}C, that recombines with an equivalent charge of -2 \cdot 10^{-6}C located on sphere X. As a result, the total charge remained on the two spheres is the excess of negative charge remained on sphere X:
Q=-4 \cdot 10^{-6}C
Since the two spheres are identical, they have same capacity, so this charge will now redistribute equally on the two spheres: therefore, at the end, each sphere will have
\frac{Q}{2}=-2 \cdot 10^{-6} C
