Blocks A and B of unknown masses m1 and m2, respectively, are set up on an inclined plane as shown. Block A is attached to block

B by a light string that passes over an ideal pulley. Block A is on a surface of negligible friction. The blocks are released from rest, block A accelerates up the incline, and its acceleration a is measured. Which of the following uses the data for the magnitude of the acceleration to support a correct claim about the masses of the blocks?
If a>gsinθ , then m1>m2.

Newton's second law we can find that the correct answer is:  

 E)  It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

Newton's second law establishes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration of a body. Since force and acceleration are vector quantities, their components must be added on each axis

For this problem we have two bodies, let's write Newton's second law for the body B, we assume that the body B descends

            W_b - T = m_b a

            W_b  = m_b g

            m_b - T = m_b a

Where W_b is the weight of block B, T the tension of the string, mb the mass of block b and the acceleration

Now let's find the relation for block A

let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the ramp

           T - Wₓ = mₐ a

           sin θ = Wₓ / W

            Wₓ = Wₐ sin θ

             Wₐ = mₐ g

Where Wₓ is the component of the weight, Wₐ the weight of the body A and θ the angle of the plane

Let's write our system of equations

           m_b g - T = m_b a

           T - mₐ g sin θ = mₐ a

let's add the equations

            g (m_b - mₐ sin θ) = (m_b + mₐ) a

            a =   \frac{m_b - m_a \ sin  \ \theta}{m_b+m_a} \ g

Let's analyze this expression

  • The numerator is positive the body B descends, this occurs when

          m_b - mₐ sin θ > 0

           

  • The numerator is negative, body B rises

           m_b - mₐ  sin θ <0

We can observe that the acceleration is positive or negative depending on the relation of the masses and the angle of the plane.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we find that the correct answer is  

 E )   It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N

b) a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of raindrops, m=1.8\times 10^{-6}\ kg
  • charge on the raindrops, q=+21\times 10^{-12}\ C
  • horizontal distance between the raindrops, r=0.0044\ m

A)

<u>From the Coulomb's Law the force between the charges is given as:</u>

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} .\frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}

we have:

\epsilon_0=8.854\times 10^{-12}\ C^2.N^{-1}.m^{-2}

<em>Now force:</em>

F=\frac{1}{4\pi\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}} .\frac{21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^2}

F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N

B)

<u>Now the acceleration on the raindrops due to the electrostatic force:</u>

a=\frac{F}{m}

a=\frac{2.048\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}

a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}

A 10-kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s. what is the minimum work required to stop the dog in 2.40 s?
ankoles [38]
Given required solution

M=10kg W=? W=Fd
v=5.0m/s F=mg
t=2.40s =10*10=100N
S=VT
=5m/s*2.4s
=12m
so W=12*100
W=1200J

A very humble bumble bee is flying horizontally due North at a constant speed of 3.11 m/s. At the current location of the bumble
Reil [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of the Magnetic Force. This expression will be expressed in both the vector and the scalar ways. Through this second we can directly use the presented values and replace them to obtain the value of the magnitude. Mathematically this can be described as,

\vec{F_B} = q(\vec{V}\times \vec{B})

F_B = q|v||B| sin\theta

Here,

q = Charge

v = Velocity

B = Magnetic field

\theta = \text{Angle between } \vec{B} \text{ and } \vec{V}

Our values are given as,

\theta = 35.7\°

q = 22.5*10^{-9}C

B = 1.05*10^{-5}T

v = 3.11m/s

Replacing,

F_B = (22.5*10^{-9}C)(3.11 \times 1.05*10^{-5}) sin(35.1\°)

F_B = 4.224*10^{-13}N

Therefore the size of the magnetic force acting on the bumble bee is 4.22*10^{-13}N

A heat engine: A) converts heat input to an equivalent amount of workB) converts work to an equivalent amount of heat C) takes h
Masja [62]

Answer:

C. Takes heat in, does work, and loses energy heat.

Explanation:

Heat engine is a system makes use of thermal energy (heat) to in order to do mechanical work.

This occurs by converting the heat into mechanical energy. This energy is then used to do work.

The key characteristic of a heat engine is that the substance with which work is done by, goes from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

Hence, it loses heat as it does work.
