Answer:

(a) a = 1.875 m/s²

(b)T = 1.575 N

(c)T increase

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the blocks on the horizontal surface and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the block  A

WA: Weight of of the A block : In vertical direction  downaward (-y)

NA : Normal force of the A block :In vertical direction  upaward (+y)

F= 5.7 N  In in the direction parallel to the movement of the blocks (+x)

T :  tension of the string: In in the direction (-x)

Forces acting on the block  B

WB: Weight of the B block: In vertical direction  downaward (-y)

NB : Normal force of the B block :In vertical direction  upaward (+y)

T :  tension of the string: In in the direction (+x)

Data

mA = 2.2 kg

mB = 0.84 kg

(a) Magnitude of the acceleration  of the blocks

Newton's second law to B block:

∑Fx = m*a

T = (0.84)*a Equation (1)

Newton's second law to A block:

∑Fx = m*a

5.7 - T = (2.2)*a  We replace T of the Equation (1)

5.7 - (0.84)*a = (2.2)*a  

5.7 = (2.2)*a + (0.84)*a  Equation (2)

5.7 =(3.04)*a

a =5.7 / (3.04)

a = 1.875 m/s²

(b)Tension (in N) in the string connecting the two blocks

We replace data in the  Equation (1)

T = (0.84)*a

T = (0.84)*(1.875)

T = 1.575 N

(c) How will the tension in the string be affected if mA is decreased?

We observed Equation (2)

5.7 = (2.2)*a + (0.84)*a

5.7 = (mA)*a + (0.84)*a

5.7 =a*( mA+ 0.84)

if mA decrease , then, the acceleration increase and T  increase

Fellow student of mathematical bent tells you that the wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[(
bezimeni [28]

Answer

given,

y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[( 7.02 rad/m )x+( 743 rad/s )t]

length of the rope = 1.33 m

mass of the rope = 3.31 g

comparing the given equation from the general wave equation

y(x,t)= A cos[k x+ω t]

A is amplitude

now on comparing

a) Amplitude  = 2.20 mm

b) frequency =

     f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

     f = \dfrac{743}{2\pi}

          f = 118.25 Hz

c) wavelength

        k= \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

        \lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{k}

        \lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{7.02}

        \lambda= 0.895\ m

d) speed

         v = \dfrac{\omega}{k}

         v = \dfrac{743}{7.02}

                v = 105.84 m/s

e) direction of the motion will be in negative x-direction

f) tension

  T = \dfrac{v^2\ m}{L}

  T = \dfrac{(105.84)^2\times 3.31 \times 10^{-3}}{1.33}

      T = 27.87 N

g) Power transmitted by the wave

  P = \dfrac{1}{2}m\ v \omega^2\ A^2

  P = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00331\times 105.84\times 743^2\ 0.0022^2

      P = 0.438 W

Which of these is most likely consequence of failing petroleum prices
melisa1 [442]

More sales of traditional, large cars are the most likely consequence of falling petroleum prices.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Since the majority of conventional, large cars employ combustion engines, these engines need petroleum fuel to operate.

As a result, <em>Choice C—more sales of conventional, large cars</em>—is one of the effects of dropping oil prices that is most likely to occur.

The atmosphere of Mars is almost all carbon dioxide and the average surface pressure is 610 Pa (as compared with 101,000 Pa on E
Karolina [17]

Answer:

   z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Explanation:

a) As they indicate that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas, we can use the equation

          P V = n R T

          P = (n r / V) T

We replace

         P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

b) Let's apply this equation in the points

Lower

        .z = 0

         P₀ = 610 Pa

         P₀ = (nR / V) T₀

Higher.

         P = 10 Pa

          P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

We replace

        P = P₀ e^{- C z}

        e^{- C z} = P / P₀

        C z = ln P₀ / P

        z = 1 / C ln P₀ / P

Let's calculate

        z = 1 / 1.1 10⁻⁵ ln (610/10)

        z = 3,737 10⁵ m

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.
