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

The statement that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum numbers is a restatement of
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Pauli exclusion principle

Explanation:

Pauli's exclusion principle speaks to the quantum numbers assigned to an electron to describe it's general position and movement. Two electrons can occupy the same energy level (which is described by the first quantum number-the principal quantum number), the orbital angular momentum quantum number (represented by the second number) and magnetic quantum number. electrons that have the same value for all three numbers will have different spins. one will have positive a half while the other has negative a half. Therefore they will never have the same complement of quantum numbers

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has<br><br> ? protons.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

Explanation:

In an alpha particle there are two protons

In the given substance's nucleus, there are total of 85 protons

After the decay, the proton number reduce

The current proton number after decay is

85 -2 = 83

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

Explain why astronomers long ago believed that space must be filled with some kind of substance (the “aether”) instead of the va
professor190 [17]

Answer:Explained

Explanation:

The scientist of that time could not believe that the electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through so they made a space filling substance necessary to travel of electromagnetic waves called aether.

But after the special 0 theory of relativity this idea is discarded and fell out.

A dog runs at 35 m/s at 45 degrees N of E. What are its x and y components (all answers
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

its x and y component is 24.749m/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of the dog = 35m/s

x component of the speed = xcos theta

y component of the speed = ycos theta

Given theta =45 degrees

x-component = 35cos45

x-component = 35(0.7071)

x-component = 24.749m/s

y-component = 35sin45

y-component = 35(0.7071)

y-component = 24.749m/s

Hence its x and y component is 24.749m/s
