D. used by the entire scientific community
B. more accurate system of measurement
Answer:
Mental time travel has been studied by psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, philosophers and in a variety of other academic disciplines. Major areas of interest include the nature of the relationship between memory and foresight, the evolution of the ability (including whether it is uniquely human or shared with other animals), its development in young children, its underlying brain mechanisms, as well as its potential links to consciousness, the self, and free will.
Explanation:
The main formula to be used here is
Force = (mass) x (acceleration).
We'll get to work in just a second. But first, I must confess to you that I see
two things happening here, and I only know how to handle one of them. So
my answer will be incomplete, but I believe it will be more reliable than the
first answer that was previously offered here.
On the <u>right</u> side ... where the 2 kg and the 3 kg are hanging over the same
pulley, those weights are not balanced, so the 3 kg will pull the 2kg down, with
some acceleration. I don't know what to do with that, because . . .
At the <em>same time</em>, both of those will be pulled <u>up</u> by the 10 kg on the other side
of the upper pulley.
I think I can handle the 10 kg, and work out the acceleration that IT has.
Let's look at only the forces on the 10 kg:
-- The force of gravity is pulling it down, with the whatever the weight of 10 kg is.
-- At the same time, the rope is pulling it UP, with whatever the weight of 5 kg is ...
that's the weight of the two smaller blocks on the other end of the rope.
So, the net force on the 10 kg is the weight of (10 - 5) = 5 kg, downward.
The weight of 5 kg is (mass) x (gravity) = (5 x 9.8) = 49 newtons.
The acceleration of 10 kg, with 49 newtons of force on it, is
Acceleration = (force) / (mass) = 49/10 = <em>4.9 meters per second²</em>
