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

Explain what it means when scientists say that the offspring of sexual reproduction are genetically diverse.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: During sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically-diverse offspring that differ from their parents.  The genetic diversity of sexually-produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.

The noise level coming from a pig pen with
sweet [91]

Answer:

The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.

Explanation:

Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.

Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.

Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:

                       I    \alpha  N

                       I = kN

where k is the constant of proportionality.

⇒                    k = \frac{I}{N}

                         = \frac{74.3}{199}

                      k = 0.3734

When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.

Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:

                  I = kN

                    = 0.3734 × 138

                   = 51.53 dB

The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.
