As part

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Part a)

$a = 3.68 m/s^2$

Part b)

$a = 11.8 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

For force conditions of two blocks we will have

$m_1g - T = m_1 a$

$T - m_2g = m_2 a$

now from above equations we have

$(m_1 - m_2) g = (m_1 + m_2) a$

$a = \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} g$

now we know that

$m_1 = \frac{908}{9.8} = 92.65 kg$

$m_2 = \frac{412}{9.8} = 42 kg$

now from above equation we have

$a = \frac{92.65 - 42}{92.65 + 42}(9.8)$

$a = 3.68 m/s^2$

Part b)

When heavier block is removed and F = 908 N is applied at the end of the string then we have

$F - mg = ma$

$908 - 412 = 42 a$

$a = 11.8 m/s^2$

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 87 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?

kramer

Answer:

Ohm's law states that I=V/R (Current=volts divided by resistance). Since we're looking for resistance, we'll rewrite it as R=V/I. Then just plug in the numbers; R=84/9, R= 9 1/3 or 28/3. The resistance of the wire is 9.33... or 9 1/3 ohm's, depending on how you wanna write it.

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

Tysm!

I would appreciate it!
