In the physics lab, a block of mass M slides down a frictionless incline from a height of 35cm. At the bottom of the incline it

bogdanovich [222]

Solution :

Given :

M = 0.35 kg

$m=\frac{M}{2}=0.175 \ kg$

Total mechanical energy = constant

or $K.E._{top}+P.E._{top} = K.E._{bottom}+P.E._{bottom}$

But $K.E._{top} = 0$ and $P.E._{bottom} = 0$

Therefore, potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom

$\Rightarrow mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\Rightarrow v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$=\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.35}$ (h = 35 cm = 0.35 m)

= 2.62 m/s

It is the velocity of M just before collision of 'm' at the bottom.

We know that in elastic collision velocity after collision is given by :

$v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}v_1+ \frac{2m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

here, $m_1=M, m_2 = m, v_1 = 2.62 m/s, v_2 = 0$

∴ $$v_1=\frac{0.35-0.175}{0.5250}+\frac{2 \times 0.175 \times 0}{0.525}$

$=\frac{0.175}{0.525}+0$

= 0.33 m/s

Therefore, velocity after the collision of mass M = 0.33 m/s

According to the text, there is no energy shortage now, nor will there ever be. what reason (s) is given to support this stateme

Bas_tet [7]

The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.

Suppose for your cookout you need to make 100 hamburgers. You know that 2.00 pounds will make 9 hamburgers. How many pounds will

VMariaS [17]

2 pounds = 9 burgers figure out ow many 9's you can get out of 100: 100/9=11 but that only makes 99 you need 100 so we would add another one making 12. now multiply 12 by 2: 12·2=24. You would need 24 pounds of meet :)

A traffic light is weighing 200N hangs from a vertical cable tied to two other cables that are fastened to a support. The upper

Levart [38]

Answer:

T₁ = 93.6 N , T₂ = 155.6 N , T₃ = 200 N

Explanation:

This is a balance exercise where we must apply the expressions for translational balance in the two axes

∑ F = 0

Suppose that cable t1 goes to the left and the angles are 41º with respect to the horizontal and cable t2 goes to the right with angles of 63º

decompose the tension of the two upper cables

cos 41 = T₁ₓ / T1

sin 41 = T₁y / T1

T₁ₓ = T₁ cos 41

T₁y= T₁ sin 41

for cable gold

cos 63 = T₂ / T₂

sin 63 = $T_{2y}$ / T₂

We apply the two-point equilibrium equation: The junction point of the three cables and the point where the traffic light joins the vertical cable.

Let's start by analyzing the point where the traffic light meets the vertical cable

T₃ - W = 0

T₃ = W

T₃ = 200 N

now let's write the equations for the single point of the three wires

X axis

- T₁ₓ + T₂ₓ = 0

T₁ₓ = T₂ₓ

T1 cos 41 = T2 cos 63

T1 = T2 cos 63 / cos 41 (1)

y Axis

$T_{1y}$ + T_{2y} - T3 = 0

T₁ sin 41 + T₂ sin 63 = T₃ (2)

to solve the system we substitute equation 1 in 2

T₂ cos 63 / cos 41 sin 41 + T₂ sin 63 = W

T₂ (cos 63 tan 41 + sin 63) = W

T₂ = W / (cos 63 tan 41 + sin 63)

We calculate

T₂ = 200 / (cos 63 tan 41 + sin 63)

T₂ = 200 / 1,2856

T₂ = 155.6 N

we substitute in 1

T₁ = T₂ cos 63 / cos 41

T₁ = 155.6 cos63 / cos 41

T₁ = 93.6 N

therefore the tension in each cable is

T₁ = 93.6 N

T₂ = 155.6 N

T₃ = 200 N
