Answer:
We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved
Explanation:
<span>Acceleration is the rate of
change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of
all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's
second law of motion. Calculations of such is straightforward, if we are given
the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. However, we are not given these values. We are only left by using the kinematic equation expressed as:
d = v0t + at^2/2
We cancel the term with v0 since it is initially at rest,
d = at^2/2
44 = a(6.2)^2/2
a = 2.3 m/s^2

The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.
The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.
You can change as many things as you want to. But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see.
Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it. You don't know.
So your experiment is not really much good. You need to do it again.
Answer:
- tension: 19.3 N
- acceleration: 3.36 m/s^2
Explanation:
<u>Given</u>
mass A = 2.0 kg
mass B = 3.0 kg
θ = 40°
<u>Find</u>
The tension in the string
The acceleration of the masses
<u>Solution</u>
Mass A is being pulled down the inclined plane by a force due to gravity of ...
F = mg·sin(θ) = (2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.642788) = 12.5986 N
Mass B is being pulled downward by gravity with a force of ...
F = mg = (3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 29.4 N
The tension in the string, T, is such that the net force on each mass results in the same acceleration:
F/m = a = F/m
(T -12.59806 N)/(2 kg) = (29.4 N -T) N/(3 kg)
T = (2(29.4) +3(12.5986))/5 = 19.3192 N
__
Then the acceleration of B is ...
a = F/m = (29.4 -19.3192) N/(3 kg) = 3.36027 m/s^2
The string tension is about 19.3 N; the acceleration of the masses is about 3.36 m/s^2.
