Two blocks, one of mass 5 kg and the other of mass 2 kg, are attached to opposite ends of a light string and hung vertically fro

m a massless, frictionless pulley. Initially the heavier block is held in place a distance 2.5 m above the floor, the lighter block is just touching the floor, and the cord is taut. Then the heavier block is released and comes crashing to the floor while the cord slackens and the lighter block continues to rise. What is the maximum height reached by the lighter block

Answer:

H_{max}=3.4m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass 1 m_1=5kg

Mass  m_2=2kg

Distance above floor d=2.5m

Generally the equation for Conservation of energy is mathematically given by

0.5m_1v^2+0.5m_2v^2=2mg

0.5m_1v^2+0.5m_2v^2=2g(m_1-m_2)

v^2(0.5*m_1+0.5*m_2)=2*g(m_1-m_2)

v^2(0.5*5+0.5*2) = 2 * 9.8 * (5 - 2)

v^2=\frac{58.8}{3.5}

v=4.1m/s

Generally the equation for The maximum height of lighter block  is mathematically given by

H_{max}=d+\frac{v^2}{2g}

H_{max}=2.5+\frac{16.2}{2*9.81}

H_{max}=3.4m

un avión aterriza en la superficie de un portaaviones a 50 m/s y se detiene por completo en 120 metros, ¿cuál es la aceleración
sergejj [24]

Answer:

La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².

Explanation:

Un movimiento uniformemente acelerado (M.U.A) es aquél cuya aceleración es constante y la velocidad de un objeto cambia a medida que el movimiento evoluciona.

Siendo la aceleración "a" el cambio de velocidad al tiempo transcurrido en un punto A a B, la velocidad inicial la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al iniciar su movimiento en un período de tiempo y la velocidad final la velocidad que tiene un cuerpo al finalizar su movimiento en un período de tiempo, entonces en  M.U.A se cumple:

Vf² - Vo² = 2*a*d

donde:

  • Vf: Velocidad final
  • Vo: Velocidad inicial
  • a: Aceleración
  • d: Distancia recorrida

En este  caso:

  • Vf: 0 m/s, porque el avión se detiene
  • Vo: 50 m/s
  • a: ?
  • d: 120 m

Reemplazando:

(0 m/s)² - (50 m/s)² = 2*a*120 m

Resolviendo:

a=\frac{(0 m/s)^{2} -(50 m/s)^{2} }{2*120 m}

a= - 10.42 m/s²

<u><em>La aceleración necesaria para detener el avión es - 10.42 m/s².</em></u>
