Answer:

t = 1.41 sec.

Explanation:

If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.

First, we need to find the value of  acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.

If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:

F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)

⇒ a = (\frac{(m₂-m₁)}({m₁+m₂} * g = g/5 m/s²

Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:

Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.

A ball is thrown straight up with a launch of 3 m/s.
PtichkaEL [24]

Explanation:

The ball is in free fall (gravity is the only force acting on the ball), so its acceleration is 9.8 m/s² down during the entire path.

If an astronaut travels to different planets, which of the following planets will the astronaut’s weight be the same as on Earth
Nataly_w [17]
<h2>Astronaut travels to different planets - Option 4 </h2>

If an astronaut travels to different planets, none of the planets will the astronaut’s weight be the same as on Earth. On jupiter, weight will be more than the weight on earth. For instance if an astronaut has 100kg on earth then he will have 252 kg on jupiter.

On Mars, weight will be less than the weight on the earth. For instance, if an astronaut has 68 kg on earth then he will has 26 kg on mars. On Mercury, weight of an astronaut will be less than the weight on earth. Example if he has 68 kg on earth then he will have 25.7kg on mercury.

Hence, none of these planets the weight of astronaut will be same as on earth.

Calculate the drop voltage for a battery of internal resistance 2 ohm and emf of 24 volt
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<em>The drop voltage is 0.3 V</em>

Explanation:

Electromotive Force EMF

When connecting a battery of internal resistance Ri and EMF ε to an external resistance Re, the current through the circuit is:

\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon }{R_e+R_i}

The battery has an internal resistance of Ro=2 Ω, ε=24 V and is connected to an external resistance of Re=158 Ω. Thus, the current is:

\displaystyle i=\frac{24 }{158+2}

\displaystyle i=\frac{24 }{160}

i = 0.15 A

The drop voltage is the voltage of the internal resistance:

V_i = i.R_i

V_i = 0.15*2

\boxed{V_i = 0.3\ V}

The drop voltage is 0.3 V

The photons of different light waves:
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: contain different amounts of energy

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is given by:

E=h\nu

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

\nu is the frequency of the light which is inversely related to the wavelength.

Now, if we have photons of different light waves, this means we have photons with different frequencies.

As the energy of the photon depends on its frequency:

Photons of different light waves <u>contain different amounts of energy.</u>
