By means of a rope whose mass is negligible, two blocks are suspended over a pulley, as the drawing shows, with m1 = 12.1 kg and

m2 = 43.7 kg. The pulley can be treated as a uniform, solid, cylindrical disk. The downward acceleration of the 43.7 kg block is observed to be exactly one-half the acceleration due to gravity. Noting that the tension in the rope is not the same on each side of the pulley, find the mass of the pulley.

Answer:

14.8 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=43.7 kg

m_2=12.1 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)=4.9 m/s^2

We have to find the mass of the pulley.

According to question

T_2-m_2 g=m_2 a

T_2=m_2a+m_2g=m_2(a+g)=12.1(9.8+4.9)=177.87 N

T_1=m_1(g-a)=43.7(9.8-4.9)=214.13 N

Moment of inertia of pulley=I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2

(T_2-T_1)r=I(-\alpha)=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2(\frac{-a}{r})=\frac{1}{2}Mr(-4.9)

Where \alpha=\frac{a}{r}

(177.87-214.13)=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M

-36.26=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M

M=\frac{36.26\times 2}{4.9}=14.8 kg

Hence, the mass of the pulley=14.8 kg

The reason why your body goes right and the car car goes left is because your body tries to stay where it was, which is on the right. Your upper body doesn't feel a force and because of that continues in the same direction. Your lower half is pulled out from under you by seat friction to the left, leaving you leaning to the right.

A stone is launched straight up by a slingshot. Its initial speed is 19.6 m/s, and the stone is 1.50 m above the ground when lau
arlik [135]

Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs

Stella [2.4K]

Answer & Explanation:

1 N-m = 1 Joule

So 82 kJ of energy put into the system during (i).

45 kJ of heat leaves the system, so 82 kJ - 45 kJ  = 37 kJ is remaining.

(ii) requires 100 kJ of energy but only 37 kJ is available, so 100 kJ - 37 kJ = 63 kJ of heat energy must be added to the system.
