A 2.10 kg textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diameter

is 0.170 m, to a hanging book with mass 3.00 kg. The system is released from rest, and the books are observed to move 1.20 m in 0.900 s.
(a) What is the tension in each part of the cord?
(b) What is the moment of inertia of the pulley about its rotation axis?

Answer:

(A) 6.2 N and 20.52 N

(B) I = 0.035 kg m^{2}

Explanation:

mass of first book (M1) = 2.1

mass of second book (M2) = 3 kg

diameter of pulley = 0.17 m

distance (s) = 1.2 m

time = 0.9 secs

(A) what is the tension in each part of the cord

    we first have to get the acceleration of the first  book

 s = ut + 0.5 at^{2}

 since the books are initially at rest u = 0

s = 0.5 at^{2}

1.2 = 0.5 x a x 0.9^{2}

a = 2.96 m/s^[2}

  • Tension at T1 = M1 x A1

       T1 = 2.1 x 2.96 = 6.2 N

  • Tension at T2 = m x ( g - a )

          (g-a) is the net acceleration of the first book

           T2 = 3 x ( 9.8 - 2.96 ) = 20.52 N

(B) What is the moment of inertia of the pulley?

     taking clockwise rotation of the pulley to be negative while

     anticlockwise to be positive, we can see from the diagram that T1      

     causes a clockwise rotation while T2 produces an anticlockwise rotation

       ( T2 - T1 )r = I∝

         where ∝ is the angular acceleration of the pulley relative to its radial  

         acceleration, ∝ = \frac{a}{r}

          ( T2 - T1 )r = I\frac{a}{r}

          I = \frac{(T2 - T1)r^{2}}{a}

          I = \frac{(20.52 - 6.2)0.085^{2}}{2.96}

         I = 0.035 kg m^{2}

What observations can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Geology is the study of the Earth that involves the process at Earth, materials of which it is made, and its history.

<u>Geologists combine both laboratory and field data to illustrate the results of their research. Some observations that can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab are as follows:</u>

  • Understanding and exploring the earth's surface closely using geophysical tools.
  • Collecting samples by own and make some interpretations at the same time.
  • Observation of the  landscapes
  • Close observation of outcrops

Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: v_f=v_0+a*t, where v_f is the final velocity, v_0 is the initial velocity, a the acceleration, and t is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s}  }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s, where v_f=0\frac{m}{s} because the sled is totally stopped, v_0=282\frac{m}{s} is the velocity of the sled before braking and, a=-201\frac{m}{s^2} is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration:x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2, where x_f-x_0 is the distance traveled, v_0 is the initial velocity, t the time of the process and, a is the acceleration of the process.

Then for this case the relationship becomes: x_f-x_0=282\frac{m}{s} *1.40s+\frac{1}{2}(-201\frac{m}{s})*(1.40s)^2=94.22m.

<u>Note that the acceleration is negative because is a braking process.</u>

You want to slide a 0.39 kg book across a table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .21, what force is required to move t
uranmaximum [27]
Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together.  This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for.  We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2}  =0.0702N

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction.  Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N

Calculate the change in velocity of a 0.070kg tennis ball hit by Serena with a force of 140 N over 0.020 s
Brilliant_brown [7]
V=at and a=F/m

140/.070 = 2000m/s^2

2000*.020 = 40m/s

The ball’s velocity increased by 40m/s.
