The Atwood machine consists of two masses hanging from the ends of a rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley can be approxima

ted by a uniform disk with mass p=7.95 kg and radius p=0.89 m. The hanging masses are L=32.0 kg and R=17.8 kg. Calculate the magnitude of the masses' acceleration and the tension in the left and right ends of the rope, L and R , respectively.

Answer:

Acceleration(a) = 2.588 m/s²

TL = 230.784 N

TR = 220.5 N

Explanation:

Given:

M = 7.95 kg

mL = 32 kg

mR = 17.8 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Find:

Acceleration(a)

TL

TR

Computation:

Acceleration(a) = [(mL - mR)g] / [mL + mR + M/2]

Acceleration(a) = [(32 - 17.8)9.8] / [32 + 17.8 + 7.95/2]

Acceleration(a) = [139.16] / [53.775]

Acceleration(a) = 2.588 m/s²

TL = mL(g-a)

TL = 32(9.8-2.588)

TL = 230.784 N

TR = mR(g+a)

TR = 17.8(9.8+2.588)

TR = 220.5 N

A baseball leaves a bat with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s. In a time of 0.25 s, How far will it have traveled horizontally?
Maurinko [17]

Distance traveled by the ball is given by

distance = speed \times time

here we know that

speed = 20 m/s

times = 0.25 s

now we have

distance = 20 \times 0.25

distance = 5 m

so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time

John owns a used 2003 mustang Mach 1, he spots a news crew with a bunch of people what should he do? A) Rev his engine at the hi
Marta_Voda [28]

Each of the three choices is tasteless, exhibitionist, juvenile, and dangerous.  John should do none of them.

Encountering a news crew, there's no reason for John to call attention to himself in a childish way, or interfere with their work in <em>any</em> way.

What he <u><em>should</em></u> do is:

==> Slow down

==> Pass the scene cautiously

==> Resume his normal, legal speed quietly, in case the crew happens to be recording audio at the moment.

Mysteriously, this course of action is nowhere to be found among the choices listed.

the student plotted distance v.s time graph in which the line sloped downward. Is the graph correct?
Leni [432]

It could be, depending on WHAT distance was graphed,
and how the student labeled the graph's axes.


Most likely, however, she probably drew the graph ...

-- with time on the x-axis increasing to the right,

-- with distance on the y-axis increasing upward,

-- to show the distance FROM the starting point
   NOT the distance remaining to the destination. 

If that's how she set it up, or if any two of these items are
the other way around, then the line could not slope downward. 
THAT would say that the distance from the starting point is
decreasing as time goes on, or the distance remaining to the
destination is increasing as time goes on.  That would be silly.

A proton is released from rest in a uniform electric field of magnitude 50000 v/m directed along the positive x axis and undergo
Svet_ta [14]
For the law of conservation of energy, the amount of kinetic energy the proton gained in d=0.5 m is equal to the amount of electric potential energy it losts covering the same distance.

The potential difference across which the proton travelled is given by
\Delta V = E d
where E is the electric field intensity. Replacing the numbers, we get
\Delta V = (50000 V/m)(0.5 m)=25000 V

The electric potential energy lost by the proton is given by
\Delta U = q \Delta V
where q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C is the charge of the proton. Therefore, this quantity is equal to
\Delta U = (1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(25000 V)=4 \cdot 10^{-15}J

And based on what we said at the beginning, this electric potential energy lost by the proton is exactly equal to the amount of kinetic energy it gained:
\Delta K = 4 \cdot 10^{-15}J
