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

One heater uses 310 W of power when connected by itself to a battery. Another heater uses 180 W of power when connected by itsel
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

55.8W

Explanation:

P= V^2/R

R= V^2/P

For series connection

Req= R1+ R2= V^2/310 + V^2/180

R=V^2/P= V^2/310 + V^2/180

But V^2 will cancel out

P= 1/(1/310 + 1/180)

P= 55.8W

How does the density of fluid affect the magnitude of buoyancy acting on an object immersed in it
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

more the density , more will be the buoyant force acting on it , less the density less will be the buoyant force acting on it. This is why people float in dead sea and sink in other seas

A skier is skiing down a slope on the mountain.
uysha [10]

The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.

As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.
