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.

What is the frequency of light with a wavelength of 7.9 x 10^-9 m? ( the speed of light is 3.00 x 10^8)
nlexa [21]
Using the formula v=f times lambada
then v=the speed of light.
and f=what’s we’re looking for
and lambada=the wavelength.

so then you sub what you have (v and lambada) in the formula.
then multiply the frequency(f) by the given wavelength and then solve for f

Sphere A with mass 80 kg is located at the origin of an xy coordinate system; sphere B with mass 60 kg is located at coordinates
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The masses and the position coordinates from ( 0 , 0 ) are:

       Sphere A : ma = 80 kg , ( 0 , 0 )

       Sphere B : ma = 60 kg , ( 0.25 , 0 )

       Sphere C : ma = 0.2 kg , ra = 0.2 m , rb = 0.15

- The gravitational constant G = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Find:-

what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Solution:-

- The gravitational force between spheres is given by:

                       F = G*m1*m2 / r^2

Where, r : The distance between two bodies (sphere).

- The vector (rac and rbc) denote the position of sphere C from spheres A and B:-

 Determine the angle (α) between vectors rac and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{rab^2 + rac^2 - rbc^2}{2*rab*rac} \\\\cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.2^2 - 0.15^2}{2*0.25*0.2}\\\\cos ( \alpha ) = 0.8\\\\\alpha = 36.87^{\circ \:}

 Determine the angle (β) between vectors rbc and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{rab^2 + rbc^2 - rac^2}{2*rab*rbc} \\\\cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.15^2 - 0.2^2}{2*0.25*0.15}\\\\cos ( \beta  ) = 0.6\\\\\beta  = 53.13^{\circ \:}

- Now determine the scalar gravitational forces due to sphere A and B on C:

       Between sphere A and C:

                  Fac = G*ma*mc / rac^2

                  Fac = (6.674×10−11)*80*0.2 / 0.2^2  

                  Fac = 2.67*10^-8 N

                  vector Fac = Fac* [ - cos (α) i + - sin (α) j ]

                  vector Fac = 2.67*10^-8* [ - cos (36.87°) i + -sin (36.87°) j ]

                  vector Fac = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 N

       Between sphere B and C:

                  Fbc = G*mb*mc / rbc^2

                  Fbc = (6.674×10−11)*60*0.2 / 0.15^2  

                  Fbc = 3.56*10^-8 N

                  vector Fbc = Fbc* [ cos (β) i - sin (β) j ]

                  vector Fbc = 3.56*10^-8* [ cos (53.13°) i - sin (53.13°) j ]

                  vector Fbc = [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8 N

- The Net gravitational force can now be determined from vector additon of Fac and Fbc:

                  Fc = vector Fac + vector Fbc

                  Fc = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8  + [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8

                  Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N
