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

1. Define weight
andrezito [222]

1. Weight is the gravitational pull with which the earth attracts the body towards the center of the earth. The S.I unit is Newton (N)

2. The weight of an object is related to its mass with the below equation.

W = mg

Where W = weight, m = mass and g = acceleration due to gravity

3. The mass m = 50 kg and g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

Substitute the parameters in the equation above.

W = 50 x 9.8

W = 490 N

4. An object is accelerating when it speeds up. If the object slows down, it means it is decelerating. The correct answer is option A

5. Newton's second law of motion is:

F = ma

Where F = force applied, m = mass and a = acceleration

Therefore, Newton's second law of motion relates an object's acceleration to its net force acting on it. The correct answer is option C

6. According to Newton's second law of motion which relates an object's acceleration to its mass, doubling the net force acting on an object a doubles its acceleration. Because mass is always constant.

7. Since the weight of an object is related to its mass with the equation.

W = mg,  If the mass of an object doubles, its weight will also doubles. Option A is the correct answer.

8. If you know the mass of an object, you can calculate its weight with the formula F = mX when X = 9.8m/s^{2}

9. Force is expressed in unit as Newton (N)

10. The parameters given are :

mass m = 20kg

Force F = 40N

To calculate acceleration, use the formula F = ma

Substitute all the parameters into the equation.

40 = 20a

a = 40/20

a = 2m/s^{2}

The correct option is D
