Two blocks are connected by a very light string passing over a massless and frictionless pulley. The 20.0 N block moves 75.0cm t

o the right and the 12.0 N block moves 75.0cm downward.
Find the total work done on 20.0N block if there is no friction between the table and the 20.0N block.

The string is assumed to be massless so the tension is the sting above the 12.0 N block has the same magnitude to the horizontal tension pulling to the right of the 20.0 N block. Thus, 
1.22 a = 12.0 - T  (eqn 1)
and for the 20.0 N block: 
2.04 a = T - 20.0 x 0.325 (using µ(k) for the coefficient of friction) 
2.04 a = T - 6.5  (eqn 2) 

[eqn 1] + [eqn 2] → 3.26 a = 5.5 
a = 1.69 m/s² 


Subs a = 1.69 into [eqn 2] → 2.04 x 1.69 = T - 6.5 
T = 9.95 N 

Now want the resultant force acting on the 20.0 N block: 
Resultant force acting on the 20.0 N block = 9.95 - 20.0 x 0.325 = 3.45 N

75.0 cm = 75.0 cm x [1 m / 100 cm] = 0.750 m 
<span>work done on the 20.0 N block = 3.45 x 0.750 = 2.59 J</span>

a deli sells sliced meat and cheese. one customer purchases 4 pounds of meat and 5 pounds of cheese for a total of $30.50. a san
Nesterboy [21]

Since my answer was deleted here it is:

The variable x represents the cost per pound of meat.

The variable y represents the cost per pound of cheese.

The deli charges $4.50 for a pound of meat.

Have a great day! (this is late but for anyone else who needs it)

Orthogonalizing vectors. Suppose that a and b are any n-vectors. Show that we can always find a scalar γ so that (a − γb) ⊥ b, a
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

\\ \gamma= \frac{a\cdot b}{b\cdot b}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question to be solved is the following :

Suppose that a and b are any n-vectors. Show that we can always find a scalar γ so that (a − γb) ⊥ b, and that γ is unique if b \neq 0. Recall that given two vectors a,b  a⊥ b if and only if a\cdot b =0 where \cdot is the dot product defined in \mathbb{R}^n. Suposse that b\neq 0. We want to find γ such that (a-\gamma b)\cdot b=0. Given that the dot product can be distributed and that it is linear, the following equation is obtained

(a-\gamma b)\cdot b = 0 = a\cdot b - (\gamma b)\cdot b= a\cdot b - \gamma b\cdot b

Recall that a\cdot b, b\cdot b are both real numbers, so by solving the value of γ, we get that

\gamma= \frac{a\cdot b}{b\cdot b}

By construction, this γ is unique if b\neq 0, since if there was a \gamma_2 such that (a-\gamma_2b)\cdot b = 0, then

\gamma_2 = \frac{a\cdot b}{b\cdot b}= \gamma
