Two blocks joined by a string have masses of 6 and 9 kg. They rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A 2nd string, attached

only to the 9 kg block, has horizontal force = 30 N applied to it. Both blocks accelerate. Find the tension in the string between the blocks. a. 18 N b. 28 N c. 12 N d. 15 N

Answer:

12N

Explanation:

Suppose the string mass is negligible, the total mass of the 2 block system is 6 + 9 = 15 kg

So the acceleration of the system when subjected to 30N force is

a = F / M = 30 / 15 = 2 m/s2

So both blocks would have the same acceleration, however, the force acting on the 6kg block would have a magnitude of

f = am = 2 * 6 = 12N

This is the tension in the string between the blocks

Which of the following best describes electromagnetic waves?
luda_lava [24]

Electromagnetic waves are waves characterized by oscillating coupled electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic fields). Because these are waves, they are shown to exhibit wave phenomena such as diffraction, reflection, and transmission, much like other types of waves.

The best description looks like option D

6. Can an object accelerate, but not speed up or slow down?<br> Explain:
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

yes, though the speed may stay constant, the direction will change. so for example, you're going 70mph on the freeway, but you have to take the exit on your right (the exit continues on to a different freeway), you're not going to speed up or slow down, you'll change your direction which is still accelerating.

if a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 8080 ft/s, its height in feet after tt second is given
yanalaym [24]

The average velocity for the time period beginning when t=1 and lasting

(i) 0.01 seconds = 63.84 ft/s

(ii) 0.001 seconds = 63.984 ft/s

Given that a ball is thrown with an initial velocity = 80 ft/s

Let 'y' be the height in feet after 't' seconds.

Given,  y=80t-16t^2 gives the height in 't' seconds.

Average velocity = Rate of change of distance

                             = Change in distance/Change in time.

The initial time can be taken as 0 s.

When t =1 s, y = 80 - 16 = 64 ft

(1)  t = 0.01 s

    y = 80 x 0.01 - 16 x 0.01 x 0.01 = 0.7984 ft

    Average velocity = (64 - 0.7984) / (1 -0.01) = 63.84 ft/s

(2) t = 0.001 s

    y = 80 x 0.001 - 16 x 0.001 x 0.001 = 0.079984 ft

    Average velocity = (64 - 0.079984) / (1 -0.001) = 63.984 ft/s

If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 80 ft/s, it height in feet after t second is given by  y=80t-16t^2 .Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t=1 and lasting
