Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley that is

suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended a distance 1.30 m, its speed is 3.50m/s . If the total mass of the two blocks is 14.0 kg, what is the mass of the more massive block?

Answer:

m₁ = 10.36 Kg

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

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

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Calculating of the acceleration (a)

Because the masses moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula:

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d  Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

vi: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data:

vi = 0

vf = 3.5 m/s

d = 1.3 m

We replace data in the formula (2) to calculate the acceleration of the masses:

vf²=vi²+2*a*d

a=\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{i} ^{2}   }{2*d}

a= \frac{(3.5)^{2} -0}{2*1.3}

a= 4.7 m/s²

Problem development

m₁+m₂= 14.0 kg

g=9.81 m/s² acceleration due to gravity

W= m*g: Weight

  • We take m₁>  m₂
  • We identify a direction as positive and observe that m₁ will accelerate downwards and  m₂ will accelerate upwards, since m₁>  m₂.

Newton's second law for m₁:

We apply the formula (1)

We take + in the direction of the downward movement:

∑F = m*a

W₁ -T = m₁ *a

W₁- m₁ *a=T  Equation (1)

Newton's second law for m₂:

We take + in the direction of the upward movement:

∑F = m*a

T-W₂ = m₂*a

T = W₂+m₂*a  Equation (2)

Equation (1)=Equation (2) =T

W₁- m₁ *a = W₂+m₂*a

W₁- W₂ = m₁ *a + m₂*a

(m₁-m₂ )*g =a*( m₁ + m₂ )       m₁+ m₂ =14  ,   m₂ =14-m₁

(m₁-(14-m₁ )*9.8 = 4.7(14)

(m₁-14+m₁ )= ( 4.7((14) / (9.8)

2m₁ = 6.71 + 14

2m₁ = 20.71

m₁ = 10.36 Kg

m₂= 14 kg-10.36 kg

m₂= 3.64 kg

A parallel-plate capacitor is charged by connecting it across the terminals of a battery. If the battery remains connected and t
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The voltage ( or potential difference) V increases while the charge Q decreases.

Explanation:

The capacitance C of a capacitor is defined as the measure to which the capacitor can store charges. For a parallel-plate capacitor it is given by the following relationship;

C=\frac{\epsilon_o\epsilon_rA}{d}............(1)

where A is the surface area of the plates, d is their distance of separation, \epsilon_o is the permittivity of free space and \epsilon_r is relative permittivity.

Also, the capacitance of a capacitor can be expressed in the form of equation (2)

C=\frac{Q}{V}...................(2)\\

where Q is the charge stored and V is the potential difference.

By combining (1) and (2) and making d the subject of formula, we obtain the following;

d=\frac{\epsilon_o\epsilon_rAV}{Q}............(3)

By observing (3), it is seen that the distance d of separation between the plates is directly proportional to the potential difference V and inversely proportional to the charge stored Q. This implies that an increase in the distance d of separation will bring about an increase the the voltage or potential difference V and a decrease in the charge Q.

According to Archimedes’ principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. Use this
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Part a)

\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3

Part b)

\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that when cylinder float in the water then weight of the cylinder is counter balanced by the buoyancy force

So here we know

buoyancy force is given as

F_b = \rho_w V_{sub} g

F_b = (1 g/cm^3) (30 - 13.5) Ag

F_b = 16.5 Ag

Now we know that the weight of the cylinder is given as

W = \rho (30 cm)A g

now we have

\rho (30 cm) A g = 16.5 A g

\rho = 0.55 g/cm^3

Part b)

When the same cylinder is floating in other liquid then we will have

F_b = \rho_L (30 - 18.9 )A g

so we have

\rho_L (11.1) Ag = 0.55(30) Ag

\rho_L = 1.49 g/cm^3

Part c)

Since we know that the base area will remain same always

so here the length and width of the object is not necessary to obtain the above data in such type of questions

The resolution of a telescope is ultimately limited by the diameter of its objective lens or mirror. A typical amateur astronome
slava [35]

Answer:

 θ =  3.19  arc second

Explanation:

The resolution of a telescope is given by the rayleigh criterion, which establishes that two objects are separated if the principal maximum of diffraction of one of them coincides with the first minimum of diffraction of the second object, based on this the solution is given by the first diffraction minimum, the a slit is

        a sin θ = m λ

with m = 1

in the case of circular apertures the equation must be found in polar coordinates, therefore a numerical constant is introduced

        a sin θ = 1.22 λ

Angles are measured in radians and in these experiments they are small

        sin θ = θ

       θ= 1.22  λ  / a

in this case a = 6.09 in, the wavelength is wrong = 550 10⁻⁹ m which is the maximum resolution of the human eye

l

et's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

        d = 6.09‘  2.54 10⁻-2 m / 1 inch = 15.4686 10-2 m

let's calculate

       θ = 1.22 550 10-9 / 15.468 10-2

       θ = 15.5 10⁻⁶ rad

       rad = 2.06 105 s

       θ = 15.5 10⁻⁶ rad  2.06 105s/ 1 rad

       θ =  3.19   s

An electric motor is rated at 900 W. How much force does it apply when moving
brilliants [131]
<h3>Answer:  7.74 newtons</h3>

========================================

Steps Shown:

Work = Force*Displacement

Power = Work/Time

Power = (Force*Displacement)/Time

900 W = (F*1000 m)/(8.6 sec)

900 = (F*1000)/8.6

900*8.6 = 1000F

7740 = 1000F

1000F = 7740

F = 7740/1000

F = 7.74 newtons
