Answer:

T₁ = 311.19 N

T₂ = 131.56 N

Explanation:

We can apply Newton's 2nd Law for m₂ as follows

∑Fy = m*a  (↑)

T₂ - W₂ = m₂*a    ⇒     T₂ - m₂*g = m₂*a    ⇒     T₂ = m₂*(a+g)

⇒    T₂ = (10.4 Kg)*(2.84 m/s²+9.81 m/s²) = 131.56 N

Now, we apply Newton's 2nd Law for m₁

∑Fy = m*a  (↑)

T₁ - T₂ - W₁ = m₁*a    ⇒   T₁  = m₁*a + W₁ + T₂ = m₁*a + m₁*g + T₂

⇒    T₁  =  m₁*(a+g) + T₂  ⇒   T₁  =  (14.2 Kg)*(2.84 m/s²+9.81 m/s²) + 131.56 N

⇒    T₁  = 311.19 N

Answer:

Tension 1, T₁ = 311.19 N

Tension 2,  T₂ = 131.56 N

Explanation:

Thinking process:

Newton's 2nd Law can be applied for m₂ as follows :

∑Fy = m×a  (↑)

T₂ - W₂ = m₂×a    ⇒     T₂ - m₂×g = m₂×a    ⇒     T₂ = m₂×(a+g)

⇒    T₂ = (10.4 Kg)*(2.84 m/s²+9.81 m/s²) = 131.56 N

Now, we apply Newton's 2nd Law for m₁

∑Fy = m×a  (↑)

T₁ - T₂ - W₁ = m₁×a    ⇒   T₁  = m₁×a + W₁ + T₂ = m₁×a + m₁×g + T₂

⇒    T₁  =  m₁×(a+g) + T₂  ⇒   T₁  =  (14.2 Kg)×(2.84 m/s²+9.81 m/s²) + 131.56N

⇒    T₁  = 311.19 N

Sometimes my music is played value can feel your body shaking explain what is happening in terms of resonance?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

If you are standing next to loud music you will feel yourself vibrating because resonance happens. When an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object then it causes the second object to vibrate. This phenomenon is called resonance.

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 2.60 km north. The truck makes a right turn and travels 1.33 km east before maki
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

AD\approx1.7582\ km

Explanation:

Follow the schematic in which point A is the warehouse and point D is the destination.

Now we observe the triangle constructed \Delta ADB:

here:

AB\perp BD

AB=2.6-1.45

AB=1.15\ km

&

BD=1.33\ km

As we know that displacement is the shortest distance between two points.

<u>Using Pythagoras theorem:</u>

AD=\sqrt{AB^2+BD^2}

AD=\sqrt{(1.15)^2+(1.33)^2}

AD\approx1.7582\ km
