Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 21 kg and the larger bottom crate has a m

ass of m2 = 90 kg. There is NO friction between the crate and the floor, but the coefficient of static friction between the two crates is μs = 0.8 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two crates is μk = 0.64. A massless rope is attached to the lower crate to pull it horizontally to the right (which should be considered the positive direction for this problem). 1)The rope is pulled with a tension T = 261 N (which is small enough that the top crate will not slide). What is the acceleration of the small crate? m

Answer:

2.35 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the smaller crate, m₁ = 21 kg

Mass of the larger crate, m₂ = 90 kg

Tensión of the rope, T = 261 N

We know that the sum of all forces for the two objects with a force of friction F and a tension T are:

(i) m₁a₁ = F

(ii) m₂a₂ = T - F, where m and a are the masses and accelerations respectively.

1) no sliding can also mean that:

a₁ = a₂ = a

This makes us merge the two equations written above together as:

m₂a = T - m₁a

If we then solve for a, we would have something like this

a = T / (m₁+m₂)

a = 261 / (21 + 90)

a = 261 / 111

a = 2.35 m/s²

Therefore, the needed acceleration of the small crate is 2.35 m/s²

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.

Which of the following correctly describes the importance of demonstrations to scientific investigation?
sergey [27]

Answer:

A- A demonstration shows how something works, often including models

Explanation:

A demonstration allows, through experimentation, to show how nature works and in that way can include the explanation of scientific theories that explain the set of observed facts, that is, it serves as a demonstration of the underlying scientific principles.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits

are made of frozen gas and ice

Explanation:

Comets are the made up of dry ice, frozen water, gases and dust particles. it is called dirty snow balls as their nucleus carry frozen water and pieces of rock.

Comets move around the sun in an elliptical orbits and follow Kepler's Laws saying that they move faster when closer to the Sun.

Comets have tails even when they are far from the sun and the tails that point away from the sun.

Hence, the correct options are "orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits and are made of frozen gas and ice".

Why will a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on its floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around insid
34kurt

The reason why a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on the floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around is because when the birds are sitting on the floor, they are adding their weight to the truck.

Meanwhile, if the birds are flying around they aren't resting on the truck or touching it, so therefore their weight wouldn't be added to the truck.

The mass of the truck will remain the same as you cannot change the mass but the weight will vary depending on the items and objects placed in it.
