Four penguins that are being playfully pulled along very slippery (frictionless) ice by a curator. The masses of three penguins

and the tension in two of the cords are 1 12 m kg = , 3 15 m kg = , 4 20 m kg = , 2 111TN= , 4 222TN= . Find the penguin mass 2m that is not given.

Answer:

m_2 = 23 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the tension in two strings are

T_2 = 111 N

T_4 = 222 N

now we have

F_{net} = ma

so we can say

(m_1 + m_2)a = T_2

(12 + m_2)a = 111

also we have

(m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4) a = T_4

(12 + m_2 + 15 + 20) a = 222

now divide two equations

\frac{222}{111} = \frac{47 + m_2}{12 + m_2}

2m_2 + 24 = 47 + m_2

m_2 = 23 kg

.<br>1. How does the arrangement of a pulley system affect its ideal mechanical advantage​
lukranit [14]

Answer: In a pulley, the ideal mechanical advantage is equal to the number of rope segments pulling up on the object. The more rope segments that are supporting to do the lifting work, the less pressure that is needed for the job.

The sun's properties (luminosity, size, and temperature) have not changed much over the last 4.6 billion years. what do you thin
Vikentia [17]

The answer is; The sun will turn into a red giant


This occurs as the hydrogen fuel in the fusion core of the sun begins to deplete. When the hydrogen fuel is depleted, the star begins to collapse on itself due to gravity. This pressure causes the heavier helium to begin fusing in the area around the core.  The stars begin to heat up again producing enough energy to push out the outer shells of the star. This causes the star to expand. The outer shells become less hot hence the decrease in luminosity of red giants.

How fast will a ball be traveling if it falls for 5 seconds​
Elenna [48]

Gravity accelerates you at 9.8 meters per second per second. After one second, you're falling 9.8 m/s. After two seconds, you're falling 19.6 m/s, and so on.

Which does not represent a change in velocity?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

A balloon is floating up into the air at 1 m/s.

Explanation:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time;

   Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

It is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.

The choice that shows a change in direction is a correct specification of velocity.

A balloon floating up into the air at 1m/s shows no directional change.
