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 worker uses a cart to move a load of bricks weighing 680 N a distance of 10 m across a parking lot.
NNADVOKAT [17]
When you are finding work, the easiest way is to use the formula.

W = F*D

Where F is the force and D is the distance. Simply take the constant force of 209N and multiply it by the distance of 10m. Which will give you 2090J

Which data set has the largest range?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

We have to check range of all options first

For A:

Largest Value: 5

Smallest Value: 1

So range = Largest value - smallest value

5-1 = 4

For B:

Largest Value: 6

Smallest Value: 4

Range = 6-4 = 2

For C:

Largest Value: 9

Smallest Value: 1

Range = 9-1 = 8

For D:

Largest Value = 9

Smallest Value = 3

Range = 9-3=6

So, the data set in option C has the largest range

A 100 N force causes an object to accelerate at 2 m/s2. What is the mass of the<br> object?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

50 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Force ( F ) = 100 N

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

To find : Mass ( m ) = ?

Formula : -

F = ma

m = F / a

= 100 / 2

m = 50 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 50 kg.

Which produces more gravitational force on your textbook: you or the earth?
Yuri [45]
The earth obviously because it is on Earth like we are and it has the same gravital properties. It falls when you drop it and rises when you pick it up
