Two blocks, with masses m and 3m , are attached to the ends of a string with negligible mass that passes over a pulley, as shown

above. The pulley has negligible mass and friction and is attached to the ceiling by a bracket. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest.
(b) Determine the work done by the string on the two-block system as each block moves a distance d.

Answer:

(a)v = √gd (b) Td - Td = 0 (c) -g/4 m/s²

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

By the work energy theorem,

ΔKE = W = work done

1/2 *3m * v² + 1/2 * m * v² = 3mgd - mgd

so,

2 v² = 2gd

v = √gd

(b)W tension system = Td - Td = 0

(c) a = 3mg - mg/ 4m = g/2

Thus,

Acm = 3 m (g/2) + m (g/2)/4m

= -g/4 m/s²

Note: The complete question to this example is shown below

Two blocks, with masses m and 3m, are attached to the ends of a string with negligible mass that passes over a pulley, as shown above. The pulley has negligible mass and friction and is attached to the ceiling by a bracket. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest.

(a) Derive an equation for the speed v of the block of mass 3m after it falls a distance d in terms of m, d, and physical constants, as appropriate.

(b) Determine the work done by the string on the two-block system as each block moves a distance d.

(c) The acceleration of the center of mass of the blocks-string-pulley system has magnitude aCOM . Briefly  explain, in terms of any external forces acting on the system, why aCOM

A flat sheet is in the shape of a rectangle with sides of lengths 0.400 m and 0.600 m. The sheet is immersed in a uniform electr
Katen [24]

Answer:

ФE = 9.403W

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnitude of the electric flux trough the sheet, you use the following formula:

\Phi_E=\vec{A}\cdot \vec{E}=AEcos\theta       (1)

A: area of the rectangular sheet = (0.400m)(0.600m) = 0.24m^2

E: magnitude of the electric field = 95.0N/C

θ: angle between the direction of the electric field and the normal to the surface of the sheet

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

\Phi_E=(0.24m^2)(95.0N/m)cos(20\°)=9.304W

The magnitude of the electric flux is trough the sheet is 9.403W

The displacement (in meters) of a particle moving in a straight line is given by the equation of motion:
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

  • At t = 1\; \rm s, the particle should have a velocity of -8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • At t = 2\; \rm s, the particle should have a velocity of -1\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • At t = 3\; \rm s, the particle should have a velocity of \displaystyle -\frac{8}{27}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

For a > 0, at t = a \; \text{second}, the particle should have a velocity of \displaystyle -\frac{8}{a^3}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

Differentiate the displacement of an object (with respect to time) to find the object's velocity.

Note that the in this question, the expression for displacement is undefined (and not differentiable) when t is equal to zero. For t > 0:

\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{\rm d}{{\rm d}t}\, [s] = \frac{\rm d}{{\rm d}t}\, \left[\frac{4}{t^2}\right] \\ &= \frac{\rm d}{{\rm d}t}\, \left[4\, t^{-2}\right] = 4\, \left((-2)\, t^{-3}\right) = -8\, t^{-3} =-\frac{8}{t^3}\end{aligned}.

This expression can then be evaluated at t = 1, t = 2, and t = 3 to obtain the required results.
