Gravitational potential energy = the energy due to an objects

1 answer:

Vadim26 [7]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Gravitational energy is the energy of a body when it is taken to a certain height with respect to the earth surface.It is one of the part of potential energy that comes in thr part of the mechanical energy. the work done in taking a body upto a certain height get stored in the body in form of gravtitational potential energy. potential energy is directly proportional to height or altitude upto which the body is taken, mass of the body and gravtational acceleration(9.8m/s^2)So P.E. = mgh

Hope it helps

An Atwood machine is constructed using a hoop with spokes of negligible mass. The 2.3 kg mass of the pulley is concentrated on i

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$a = 2.77~{\rm m/s^2}$

Explanation:

Since the pulley has a mass concentrated on its rim, the pulley can be considered as a ring.

The moment of inertia of a ring is

$I = mr^2 = (2.3)(23.5\times 10^{-2})^2 = 0.127$

The mass on the left is heavier, that is the pulley is rotating counterclockwise.

By Newton's Second Law, the net torque is equal to moment of inertia times angular acceleration.

$\tau = I \alpha$

Here, the net torque is the sum of the weight on the left and the weight on the right.

$\tau = m_1gR - m_2gR = (1.65)(9.8)(23.5\times 10^{-2}) - (1)(9.8)(23.5\times 10^{-2}) = 1.497~{\rm Nm}$

Applying Newton's Second Law gives the angular acceleration

$\tau = I\alpha\\1.497 = 0.127\alpha\\\alpha = 11.78~{\rm rad/s^2}$

The relation between angular acceleration and linear acceleration is

$a = \alpha R$

Then, the linear acceleration of the masses is

$a = 11.78 \times 23.5\times 10^{-2} = 2.77~{\rm m/s^2}$
