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 Ray of light in air is incident on an air to glass boundary at an angle of 30. degrees with the normal. If the index of refrac
elena55 [62]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Snell's law states:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).

The index of refraction of air is approximately 1.  So:

1 sin 30° = 1.52 sin θ

θ ≈ 19°

What did Bohr's model of the atom include that Rutherford's model did not have?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The correct option is energy levels

Explanation:

Rutherford's model of an atom suggests that an atom has a tiny positively charged central mass (now called the nucleus) which is surrounded by electrons (negatively charged) in a <em>cloud</em>-like manner.

Bohr's model went a bit further than the Rutherford's model in describing an atom by suggesting that the electrons which surrounds in the nucleus travel in <u>fixed circular orbits</u>. This description by <em>Bohr was able to describe the energy levels of orbitals which assumes that smallest orbitals have the lowest energy while the largest orbitals have the highest energy</em>.

What must be the initial velocity of a rocket that accelerates for 10.2 seconds at 5.31 m/s2 and covers 3912 m?
crimeas [40]

Answer: B

Explanation: 3912=10.2v +1/2(5.31)(10.2)^2 -> v≈ 356.45 (B)
