Answer:

T = \frac{gM}{\frac{2b^2}{R^2} + 1}

Explanation:

If we ignore the thickness of the string, then the tension T of the string on the yoyo would cause a torque with a magnitude of Tb. This torque would then generate an angular acceleration according to Newton's 2nd law:

Tb = I\alpha

Tb = MR^2\alpha/2

We can substitute angular acceleration as ratio of linear acceleration and spool radius

\alpha = a/b

ThereforeTb = MR^2a/2b

T = \frac{aMR^2}{2b^2}

The system has 2 forces, gravity pulling it down and tension force upward. The net force would generate the linear acceleration a

Mg - T = ma

a = (gM - T)/M

now we can substitute for a into the tension equation

T = \frac{(gM-T)MR^2}{2b^2M}

T = \frac{gMR^2}{2b^2} - \frac{TR^2}{2b^2}

T\left(1 + \frac{R^2}{2b^2}\right) =  \frac{gMR^2}{2b^2}

T\frac{2b^2 + R^2}{2b^2} = \frac{gMR^2}{2b^2}

T = \frac{gMR^2}{2b^2 + R^2}

T = \frac{gM}{\frac{2b^2}{R^2} + 1}

Answer:

The tension in the cord is T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

Explanation:

Given:

M = mass

b = radius

R = spool of radius

The equation is:

bT=(\frac{MR^{2} }{2} )(\frac{a}{b} )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}a }{2b^{2} } (eq. 1)

The sum of forces in y:

∑Fy = Mg - T = Ma

Mg=(M+\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} }  )a\\a=\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

Replacing in eq. 1

T=\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } (\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2} +R^{2} } )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

A 38.5kg man is in an elevator accelerating downward. A normal force of 343n pushes up on him. what is his acceleration?
alexira [117]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.91 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{343}{38.5}  =  \frac{98}{11}  \\  = 8.909090...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.91 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A typical meteor that hits the earth's upper atmosphere has a mass of only 2.5 g, about the same as a penny, but it is moving at
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Answer:u=66.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg

velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s

Kinetic Energy of Meteor

K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}

K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}

K.E.=2\times 10^6 J

Kinetic Energy of Car

=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2

=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2

\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6  

900\times u^2=4\times 10^6

u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4

u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2

u=66.67 m/s

Neglecting air resistance, what maximum height will be reached by an arrow launched straight upward with an initial speed of 35
tankabanditka [31]
The velocity at the maximum height will always be 0. Therefore, you will count your final velocity as 0, and your initial velocity as 35 m/s. Next, we know that the acceleration will be 9.8 m/s^2. How? Because the ball is thrown directly upward, and the only force acting on it will be the force of gravity pushing it back down.

The formula we use is h = (Vf^2 - Vi^2) / (2*-9.8m/s^2)

Plugging everything in, we have h = (0-1225)/(19.6) = 62.5 meters is the maximum height.

How long a star lives and what it becomes at the end of its life depends primarly on what
liraira [26]
I believe the answer would be mass. Low mass stars and medium mass stars often become white dwarfs when they die while high mass stars explode in violent explosions called supernovas and usually leave behind a black hole or a neutron star.
