Two horses are pulling a barge with a mass 2000 kg along a canal. The cable connected to the first horse makes an angle of θ1= 4

0 o with respect to the direction of the canal, while the cable connected to the second horse makes an angle of θ2= -20o . Find the acceleration of the barge (magnitude and direction), starting at rest, if each horse exerts a force of magnitude 600 N. ignore forces of resistance.

Answer:

a = 0.5195 m/s²

θ = 9.997º ≈ 10º

Explanation:

We apply Newton's 2nd Law as follows:

∑ Fx = m*ax

∑ Fy = m*ay

Then we have

∑ Fx = F₁x + F₂x = m*ax    ⇒ 600*Cos 40º + 600*Cos (-20º) = 2000*ax

⇒   ax = 0.5117 m/s²

∑ Fy = F₁y + F₂y = m*ay    ⇒ 600*Sin 40º + 600*Sin (-20º) = 2000*ay

⇒   ay = 0.0902 m/s²

the magnitude of the acceleration of the barge is

a = √(ax² + ay²) = √((0.5117 m/s²)² + (0.0902 m/s²))= 0.5196 m/s²

and the direction is

θ = Arctan (ay / ax) = Arctan (0.0902 / 0.5117) = 9.997º ≈ 10º

The human eye can readily detect wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm. If white light illuminates a diffraction grating havin
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The range of angles is from 17.50° to 31.76°

Explanation:

The diffraction grid equation is as follows:

dsen\theta=m\lambda

Clearing for \theta

sen\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

where \theta is the angle, m is the order, in this case m=1, \lambda is the wavelength, and d is defined as follows:

d=\frac{1}{resolution}

and since the resolution is 750 lines/mm wich is the same as 750lines/1x10^{-3}m

d will be:

d=\frac{1}{750lines/1x10^{-3}m}=\frac{1x10^{-3}m}{750lines}=1.33x10^{-6}m

wich is the distance between each line of the diffraction grating.

substituting the values for m and d:

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(1)\lambda}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})

And we need to find two angle values: one for when the wavelength is 400nm and one for when it is 700 nm. So we will get the angle range

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(400x10^{-9})}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})=17.50

and

\theta=sen^{-1}(\frac{(700x10^{-9})}{(1.33x10^{-6}m)})=31.76

The range of angles is from 17.50° to 31.76°

A spring attached to the ceiling is stretched 2.45 meters by a four kilogram mass. If the mass is set in motion in a medium that
denpristay [2]

Answer:

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x is the required differential equation.

Explanation:

Since the spring force F = kx where k is the spring constant and x its extension = 2.45 equals the weight of the 4 kg mass,

F = mg

kx = mg

k = mg/x

= 4 kg × 9.8 m/s²/2.45 m

= 39.2 kgm/s²/2.45 m

= 16 N/m

Now the drag force f = 16v where v is the velocity of the mass.

We now write an equation of motion for the forces on the mass. So,

F + f = ma (since both the drag force and spring force are in the same direction)where a = the acceleration of the mass

-kx - 16v = 4a

-16x - 16v = 4a

16x + 16v = -4a

4x + 4v = -a where v = dx/dt and a = d²x/dt²

4x + 4dx/dt = -d²x/dt²

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x which is the required differential equation
