Two boxes of masses 3M and 5M are attached by a massless rope. They are being pulled to the right with a constant force of P = 8

00 N, which allows them to just overcome static friction, with a μs= 0.70 between the floor and the boxes.
a. Find M.
b. Find the Tension in the rope between the two boxes.

Answer:

  a) about 14.577 kg

  b) 300 N

Explanation:

b) In order for the acceleration to be the same for each mass, the 800 N force must be divided between the boxes in proportion to their mass. That is, the net force on the 5M mass must be 5/8 of the total force, or 500 N. Then the tension in the rope is 800 N -500 N = 300 N, which is 3/8 of 800 N.

Tension: 300 N

__

a) The total mass is 8M, and the total normal force on the floor is ...

  F = ma = (8M)(9.8 m/s^2)

The friction force is 0.7 times this, and is equal to the 800 N force pulling on the boxes.

  800 N = (8M)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.7)

  M = 800/(8·9.8·0.7) kg ≈ 14.577 kg

An atom an atomic number of 12 and a mass number of 25 can be best described as
katen-ka-za [31]

Neutral Magnesium atom

Explanation:

From the given description of the atom, one can infer that this atom is a neutral atom.

In a neutral atom, the number of protons and neutrons are the same.

 Atomic number = 12

  Mass number = 25

This atom is Magnesium.

   Magnesium has an atomic number of 12 from the periodic table.

Number of protons = 12 = atomic number

 Number of electrons = 12(for neutral atoms, atomic number is same as number of electrons).

  Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 25-12 = 13.

A 4kg block moving right at 6 m/s collides elastically with a 2kg block moving right at 3 m/s find their final velocity
nignag [31]

The final velocity of block 1 is 2.2m/s and the final velocity of block 2 is 3.4m/s.

<h3>What do you mean by elastically?</h3>

Although the terms scalability and elasticity are occasionally used interchangeably, scalability is more commonly used to describe a system's ability to successfully handle an increasing workload, while elasticity implies that the system is also capable of rapidly expanding or decreasing capacity and services. The capacity of an IT environment to grow and shrink in response to business requirements is one of its characteristics. Physics defines resilience as a material's ability to absorb energy and react elastically in order to maintain its integrity and avoid deforming as a result of the pressures it is subjected to.

If an element has 7 electrons how many of them will be in the 2nd energy level
inna [77]
Well first you can not go to the 2nd energy level without the first so the first takes up 2 electrons leaving you 5 electrons and the recommended amount is 8 electrons so you would have 5 electrons left

Answer:

Gravitational attraction of the sun.

Explanation:

Gravity is an attractive force. Any two masses will exert an attractive force on the other according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. The more massive the objects, the stronger the force. The sun, as you can probably guess, is pretty massive - 330,000 times more than Earth, and 1,048 time more than Jupiter, our solar system's largest planet. Just like man-made satellites around Earth, the planets in our solar system are constant process of "falling" around the sun, locked in their orbits by its mass, but slowing dramatically in their orbital velocity the further away they are.
