Three packing crates of masses, M1 = 6 kg, M2 = 2 kg and M3 = 8 kg are connected by a light string of negligible mass that passe
1 answer:
Answer:
39.81 N
Explanation:
I attached an image of the free body diagrams I drew of crate #1 and #2.
Using these diagram, we can set up a system of equations for the sum of forces in the x and y direction.
∑Fₓ = maₓ
∑Fᵧ = maᵧ
Let's start with the free body diagram for crate #2. Let's set the positive direction on top and the negative direction on the bottom. We can see that the forces acting on crate #2 are in the y-direction, so let's use Newton's 2nd Law to write this equation:
- ∑Fᵧ = maᵧ
- T₁ - m₂g = m₂aᵧ
Note that the tension and acceleration are constant throughout the system since the string has a negligible mass. Therefore, we don't really need to write the subscripts under T and a, but I am doing so just so there is no confusion.
Let's solve for T in the equation...
- T₁ = m₂aᵧ + m₂g
- T₁ = m₂(a + g)
We'll come back to this equation later. Now let's go to the free body diagram for crate #1.
We want to solve for the forces in the x-direction now. Let's set the leftwards direction to be positive and the rightwards direction to be negative.
- ∑Fₓ = maₓ
- F_f - F_g sinΘ = maₓ
The normal force is equal to the x-component of the force of gravity.
- (F_n · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ
- (F_g cosΘ · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ
- [m₁g cos(30) · 0.28] - [m₁g sin(30)] = m₁aₓ
- [(6)(9.8)cos(30) · 0.28] - [(6)(9.8)sin(30)] = (6)aₓ
- [2.539595871] - [-58.0962595] = 6aₓ
- 60.63585537 = 6aₓ
- aₓ = 10.1059759 m/s²
Now let's go back to this equation:
- T₁ = m₂(a + g)
We have 3 known variables and we can solve for the tension force.
- T = 2(10.1059759 + 9.8)
- T = 2(19.9059759)
- T = 39.8119518 N
The tension force is the same throughout the string, therefore, the tension in the string connecting M2 and M3 is 39.81 N.

Answer:
is the compression in the spring
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of the bullet,
- mass of block,
- stiffness constant of the spring,
- initial velocity of the spring just before it hits the block,
<u>Now since the bullet-mass gets embed into the block, we apply the conservation of momentum as:</u>
Now this kinetic energy of the combined mass gets converted into potential energy of the spring.
is the compression in the spring
4.) Quantitative: notice the root word 'quantity', which is a certain percentage of something.
a.) Quantitative, since it represents a certain percentage. The weight before the camp could also be written as an improper fraction.
b.) This is also quantitative because it can be written as a ratio, which can also be written as a fraction
or percentage.
c.) This is qualitative. Joan has a higher percentage than Emile.
d.) Qualitative. It judges the quality of something instead of amount. To make it quantitative requires a fraction of percentage. In this case, maybe you could add how he can run y miles every x seconds.
5.)
a.)This depends on whether or not the air is moving. If the classroom's AC is on, or the window is open, then the correct unit to use is CFM (cubic feet per minute). If not, the common unit is milliliters, but must also include temperature and air pressure as well as the volume of the room.
b.) Simply calculate the volume of the can using inches cubed, since volume is the measure of how much space an object takes up.
c.) The unit would be . If
, then simply multiply your density by your mass.
d.) I personally would use centimeters. Inches would work too, but centimeters would be much more accurate.
e.) Use the same formula for c.), which means kilograms per cubic foot.
Hope this helped.
