Three sleds (30kg sled connected by tension rope B to 20kg sled connected by tension rope A to 10kg sled) are being pulled horiz
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

a) a = 2.383 m / s², b)   T₂ = 120,617 N , c)   T₃ = 72,957 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise of Newton's second law let's fix a horizontal frame of reference

in this case the mass of the sleds is 30, 20 10 kg from the last to the first, in the first the horizontal force is applied.

a) request the acceleration of the system

we can take the sledges together and write Newton's second law

     T = (m₁ + m₂ + m₃) a

    a = T / (m₁ + m₂ + m₃)

     a = 143 / (10 +20 +30)

     a = 2.383 m / s²

b) the tension of the cables we think through cable A between the sledges of 1 and 20 kg

on the sled of m₁ = 10 kg

          T - T₂ = m₁ a

in this case T₂ is the cable tension

           T₂ = T - m₁ a

            T₂ = 143 - 10 2,383

            T₂ = 120,617 N

c) The cable tension between the masses of 20 and 30 kg

            T₂ - T₃ = m₂ a

             T₃ = T₂ -m₂ a

             T₃ = 120,617 - 20 2,383

             T₃ = 72,957 N

What is the
Len [333]

Answer:

d=5\ g/cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 100 grams

Volume of the object, V = 20 cm³

We need to find the density of the object. We know that, density is equal to mass per unit volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{100\ g}{20\ cm^3}\\\\d=5\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the object is equal to 5\ g/cm^3.

A rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 22 meters per second from the top of a 25 meter high cliff, and it misses the cliff o
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The rock will reach 9 m from the ground at eaxactly 5.06 s after it was initially thrown upwards.

Explanation:

We will use the equations of motion for this.

u = initial velocity of the rock = 22 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

y = vertical position of the rock at a time t = 9 m

y₀ = initial height of the rock = 25 m

t = time it takes for the rock to reach height of 9 m.

(y-y₀) = ut + 0.5gt²

(9 - 25) = 22t + 0.5(-9.8)t²

- 14 = 22t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 22t - 14 = 0

solving this quadratic equation,

t = 5.055 s or - 0.565 s

Since time cannot be negative,

t = 5.055 s = 5.06 s

Hope this Helps!!!
