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

<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

Force = Spring constant x Elongation

F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

F = kx

5.3 = k x 0.36

k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m

when a circular plate of metal is heated in an oven, its radius increases at .03 cm/min, at what rate is the area increasing whe

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Rate of change of area will be $9.796cm^2/min$

Explanation:

We have given rate of change of radius $\frac{dr}{dt}=0.03cm/min$

Radius of the circular plate r = 52 cm

Area is given by $A=\pi r^2$

So $\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Puting the value of r and $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 3.14\times 52\times 0.03=9.796cm^2/min$

So rate of change of area will be $9.796cm^2/min$

A student sits on a rotating stool holding two 3.09-kg masses. When his arms are extended horizontally, the masses are 1.08 m fr

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

a

The New angular speed is $w_f = 2.034 rad/s$

b

The Kinetic energy before the masses are pulled in is $KE_i = 3.101 \ J$

c

The Kinetic energy after the masses are pulled in is $KE_f = 8.192 \ J$

Explanation:

From the we are told that masses are 1.08 m from the axis of rotation, this means that

The radius $r =1.08m$

The mass is $m = 3.09\ kg$

The angular speed $w = 0.770 \ rad/sec$

The moment of inertia of the system excluding the two mass $I = 3.25 \ kg \cdot m^2$

New radius $r_{new} = 0.34m$

Generally the conservation of angular momentum can be mathematical represented as

$w_f = [\frac{I_i}{I_f} ]w_i .....(1)$

Where $w_f$ is the final angular speed

$w_i$ is the initial angular speed

$I_i$ is the initial moment of inertia

$I_f$ is the final moment of inertia

Moment of inertia is mathematically represented as

$I = m r^2$

Where I is the moment of inertia

m is the mass

r is the radius

So the Initial moment of inertia is given as

$I_i = moment \ of \ inertia \ of\ the \ two \ mass \ + 3.25 \ kg \cdot m^2$

$I_i = 2m r^2 + 3.25$

The multiplication by is because we are considering two masses

$I_i = 2 [(3.09)(1.08)^2] +3.25 = 10.46 kg \cdot m^2$

So the final moment of inertia is given as

$I_f = 2[(3.09)(0.34)^2] +3.25 = 3.96 \ kg \cdot m^2$

Substituting these values into equation 1

$w_f = [\frac{10.46}{3.96} ] * 0.77 = 2.034 \ rad/sec$

Generally Kinetic energy is mathematically represented in term of moment of inertia as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * I * w^2$

Now considering the kinetic energy before the masses are pulled in,

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * I_i * w^2_i$

The Moment of inertia would be $I_i = 10.46 \ Kg \cdot m^2$

The Angular speed would be $w_i = 0.77 \ rad/s$

Now substituting these value into the equation above

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2} * (10.46) * (0.770)^2 = 3.101 J$

Now considering the kinetic energy after the masses are pulled in,

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} * I_f * w^2_f$

The Moment of inertia would be $I_f = 3.96 \ Kg \cdot m^2$

The Angular speed would be $w_f = 2.034 \ rad/s$

Now substituting these value into the equation above

$KE_f= \frac{1}{2} *(3.96)(2.034)^2$

$= 8.192J$
