Two boxes of masses m=35kg and m2=45kg, are hung vertically from opposite ends of a rope passing over a rigid horizontal metal r
Over [174]

Answer:

a) 5.51m/s² b) 192.94N c) 1.38m each

Explanation:

Given two boxes of masses m1 = 35kg and m2 = 45kg hung vertically from opposite ends of a rope passing over a rigid horizontal metal rod, we will analyze the forces acting on each body.

According Newton's second law, Force = mass ×acceleration

The forces acting on body of mass m1 are the tension (T) and the frictional force (Ff) which opposes the tension.

Taking the sum of horizontal forces acting on mass m1, we will have;

T +(-Ff) = m1a

T - Ff = m1a... (1)

For the mass m2, the forces acting on the body are in the vertical direction and this forces are the weight (W) acting downwards and the tension(T) acting upwards. The sum of the forces in the body is given as ;

W + (-T) = m2a

W-T = m2a ...(2)

Since W = mg, equation 2 will become;

m2g - T = m2a...(2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously to get the tension and the acceleration, we have;

T - Ff = m1a ... 1

m2g - T = m2a ... 2

Since friction is negligible, Ff = 0

Adding the two equation will give;

m2g-Ff = m2a+m1a

Since Ff =0

m2g = (m2+m1)a

a = m2g/m1+m2

a = 45(9.8)/45+35

a =441/80

a = 5.51m/s²

b) Substituting a = 5.51 into equation 1 to get the tension T in the rope will give;

T = m1a

T = 35×5.51

T = 192.94N

c) since velocity = displacement/time

Displacement = velocity × time

To get the velocity, since acceleration = velocity/time,

Velocity = acceleration ×time

Velocity = 5.51× 0.5

Velocity = 2.76m/s

Displacement of each box will be the same since they are moving with the same acceleration.

Displacement = 2.76m/s × 0.5s

Displacement of each boxes = 1.38m

11. What is the difference between AM radio waves and FM radio waves?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

they amplitude modulation

and they ferequency modulation

Explanation:

The difference is in how the carrier wave is modulated, or altered. With AM radio, the amplitude, or overall strength, of the signal is varied to incorporate the sound information. With FM, the frequency (the number of times each second that the current changes direction) of the carrier signal is varied.

hope it helps

A pulley 12 cm in diameter is free to rotate about a horizontal axle. A 220-g mass and a 470-g mass are tied to either end of a
Aleks [24]

Answer:0.147 N-m

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of Pulley d=12 cm

radius r=6 cm

mass of first object m_1=220 gm

mass of second object m_2=470 gm

Now both masses will exert a torque a on Pulley

Torque due to first Pulley T_1=m_1g\cdot r

T_1=0.22\times 9.8\times 0.06=0.129 N-m

Torque due to second mass on Pulley T_2=m_2g\cdot r

T_2=0.276 N-m

Total Torque by masses T_{net}=T_2-T_1

T_{net}=0.276-0.129=0.147 N-m

so we need to apply a torque of magnitude 0.147 N-m opposite to the direction of T_{net}
