Answer:

Explanation:

GPE =weight * height

= 2000*(25-20)

= 10000 J

Can a plane mirror produce a real image? Explain.

Komok [63]

I don't think so, because in order to produce an image, you need a surface behind the mirror. The light will hit the mirror, then it will bounce it back in your eyes and you see the image.

How can I answer question 19? please help me, I need the answer now

Crank

The spring starts out 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it.

Hanging 35 newtons of weight on it stretches the spring 1 meter.

Ellen is going to hang 250 grams of mass on the spring.
What's the weight of 250 grams of mass ?

   Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity in the place where the mass is) .

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² .
250 grams is 0.25 of a kilogram.

Weight of 250 grams = (0.25 kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²)

   =    (0.25 x 9.8) kg-m/s²

   =    2.45 newtons .

2.45 newtons of weight is (2.45 / 35) of 35 newtons,
so it'll stretch the spring (2.45 / 35) of a meter.

   2.45/35 = 0.07 of a meter = 7 centimeters.

The spring was 22 cm long with nothing hanging on it,
and the 250-gm weight stretched it 7 cm.
So with the weight hanging on it, it's (22 + 7) = 29 cm long.

What is the upper block's acceleration if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.13?

IgorLugansk [536]

Let us assume that pulley is mass less.

Let the tension produced at both ends of the pulley is T.

We are asked to calculate the acceleration of the block.

Let the masses of two bodies are denoted as $m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}\ respectively$

$Let\ m_{1} =1 kg\ and\ m_{2} =2 kg$

As per this diagram, the body having mass 1 kg is moving downward and the body having mass 2 kg is moving on the surface of the table.

Let the acceleration of each block is a .

For body having mass 1 kg:

The net force acting on 1 kg body will be-

$m_{1} g-T=m_{1} a$ [1]

Here tension in the rope will be vertically upward and weight of the body will be in vertical downward direction.

For body having mass 2 kg:

The coefficient of kinetic friction $[\mu]=0.13$

$Hence\ the\ frictional\ force\ F=\mu N$

$F=\mu m_{2} g$

Hence the net force acting on the body having mass 2 kg-

$T-\mu m_{2} g=m_{2} a$ [2]

Here the tension of the rope is towards right i.e along the direction of motion of the 2 kg block and frictional force is towards left.

Combining 1 and 2 we get-

$m_{1} g-T=m_{1}a$ [1]

$T-\mu m_{2}g= m_{2} a$ [2]

---------------------------------------------------

$[m_{1} -\mu m_{2} ]g=[m_{1} +m_{2} ]a$

$a=\frac{m_{1}-\mu m_{2}} {m_{1}+ m_{2}}*g$

$a=\frac{1-[2*0.13]}{1+2} *9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\frac{0.74}{3} *9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=2.417 m/s$ [ans]
