In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

Two masses —m1 and m2— are connected by light cables to the perimeters of two cylinders of radii r1 and r2 respectively, as show
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Part a)

Mass of m2 is given as

m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg

Part b)

Angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

T = 176.6 N

Explanation:

Part a)

When m1 and m2 both connected to the cylinder then the system is at rest

so we can use torque balance here

m_1g r_1 = m_2 g r_2

20 g(0.5) = m_2 g(1.5)

10 = 1.5 m_2

m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg

Part b)

When block m_2 is removed then system becomes unstable

so force equation of mass m1

m_1g - T = m_1 a

also we have

T r_1 = I\alpha

now we have

m_1g = \frac{I a}{r_1^2} + m_1 a

a = \frac{m_1g}{\frac{I}{r_1^2} + m_1}

a = \frac{20 (9.81)}{\frac{45}{0.5^2} + 20}

a = 0.981 m/s^2

so angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{a}{r_1}

\alpha = \frac{0.981}{0.5}

\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

T = \frac{I\alpha}{r_1}

T = \frac{45 (1.96)}{0.5}

T = 176.6 N

A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg
