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

In a $100$ meter track event, Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds before Beatrice does. If it
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

If it took Beatrice 25 seconds to complete the race

Distance = 100 meter

Beatrice speed = 100/25

                          = 4m/s

If Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds, she must have completed the race in 20s (25 -5).

Her speed where constant

= 100/20

= 5 m/s

It would take Alice

= 50/5

= 10s

It would take Alice 10s to run $50$ meters.

Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 3-in. pipe

Explanation:

Given that

Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes

Volume flow rate

Q = A V

A=Area ,V=Velocity

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.

The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.

That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.

Therefore the answer will be a.

a) 3-in diameter  pipe

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to
katovenus [111]
The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.
