Explanation:

F = ma is the formula of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion is defined as Force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, th

Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

$E_i = E_f$

$0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

$h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}$

$v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}$

$v_f = 1.8486m/s$

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s

An astronaut has a mass of 75 kg and is floating in space 500 m from his 125,000 kg spacecraft. What will be the force of gravit

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1. 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force of attraction.

Mass of astronaut (M₁) = 75 Kg

Mass of spacecraft (M₂) = 125000 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 500 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

The force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ /r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 75 × 125000 / 500²

F = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Thus, the force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft is 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. Determination of the acceleration of the astronaut.

Mass of astronaut (m) = 75 Kg

Force (F) = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Acceleration (a) of astronaut =?

The acceleration of the astronaut can be obtained as follow:

F = ma

2.5×10¯⁹ N = 75 × a

Divide both side by 75

a = 2.5×10¯⁹ / 75

a = 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Thus, the acceleration the astronaut is 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

A 65-kg swimmer pushes on the pool wall and accelerates at 6 m/s^2. The friction experienced by the swimmer is 100 N. How many N

Helga [31]

Answer:

490N

Explanation:

According Newton's second law!

\sum Force = mass × acceleration

Fm - Ff = ma

Fm is the moving force

Ff s the frictional force = 100N

mass = 65kg

acceleration = 6m/s²

Required

Moving force Fm

Substitute the given force into thr expression and get Fm

Fm -100 = 65(6)

Fm -100 = 390

Fm = 390+100

Fm = 490N

Hence the force that will cause two cart to move is 490N
