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 turtle takes 3.5 minutes to walk 18 m toward the south along a deserted highway. A truck driver stops and picks up the turtle.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity is defined as:

\frac{Total displacement}{Total time}

The turtle first walks 18m south, and then is taken 1,1Km (or 1100m) north. Thus, the total displacement  is 1082m north (1100m north - 18m south).

Now we have to calculate the total time, which will be equal to the sum of the time the turtle walked and the time it was taken by truck.

The walking time is 3.5 minutes. Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, then the walking time is 210 seconds.

To calculate the truck time we use the equation:

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

Where the distance the truck travelled is 1100m and the speed of the truck is 12m/s.

Thus,

Truck time= \frac{1100m}{12m/s}= 91.67s

The total time is the sum of the walking time and the truck time.

Total time = 210s + 91.67s = 301.67s.

As mencioned previously, the average velocity is equal to total displacement/ total time, thus:

Average velocity = \frac{1082m}{301.67s} = 3.59 m/s North

Since the average velocity is a vector, it has a magnitude and a direction. In this case the magnitude is 3.59 m/s and the direction is north since the turtle's final displacement is north of where it started.

A bulldozer and a Mini Cooper are involved in a head-on collision. Which one experiences a greater force
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The mini Cooper will experience the greater force

Explanation:

Generally, a bulldozer has a greater mass compared to a Mini Cooper hence when both of these vehicles interact in an head on collision the Mini Cooper will experience a greater force because the bulldozer has a greater momentum

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the ___ (northern or southern) Hemisphere as they move into a low press
lana [24]

Answer:

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area  in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.  

In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere  low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.
