shorelines of the southeast U.S.
-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless. I guess that's what "smooth" means.
-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.
-- Your force is 6.4 N.
Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
</em> That's about <em>2.634 m/s²</em> <em>
</em>(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)
-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.
That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.
work is distance * force so 15*100=1500
and to find time you know power = diastance * force / time
so 25=15*100/t
25=1500/t
25/1500=t
.016=time
It is actually caused by the environment, so its false. :)
Now
- Lower mass=Higher acceleration
- Lower Force=Lower Acceleration
Option B has lowest mass and highest force hence its correct
