Michelson-Morley experiment, an attempt to detect the velocity of Earth with respect to the hypothetical luminiferous ether, a medium in space proposed to carry light waves. First performed in Germany in 1880–81 by the physicist A.A. Michelson, the test was later refined in 1887 by Michelson and Edward

What are gamma rays? How are they used?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

I know it, X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles are all used in medicine to treat internal organs. X-rays are produced by firing electrons at a metal target and gamma rays are emitted by the nucleus of radioactive atoms. Gamma rays are used to kill cancer cells, to sterilise medical equipment and in radioactive tracers.

Two ropes are attached to either side of a 100.0 kg wagon as shown below. The rope on the right is pulled at an angle 40.0° rela

NikAS [45]

The acceleration of the wagon is found by applying Newton's Second Law of motion.

1. The responses for question 1 are;

x-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 91.93 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 71.135 N

x-component of the tension in the rope on the left is -80.0 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the left is 0

2. The net force in the x-direction is approximately 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction is approximately 0.1193 m/s².

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Mass of the wagon, m = 100.0 kg

Angle of inclination to the horizontal of the rope to the right, θ = 40.0°

Tension in the rope on the right = 120.0 N

Direction in which the rope on the left is pulled = To the west

Tension in the rope on the left = 80.0 N

1. The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the right are;

x-component = 120.0 N × cos(40.0°) ≈ 91.93 N

y-component = 120.0 N × sin(40.0°) ≈ 77.135 N

The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the left are;

x-component = 80.0 N × cos(180°) = -80.0 N

y-component = 80.0 N × sin(180°) = 0.0 N

2. The net force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ, is found as follows;

Fₓ = The x-component of the rope on the left + The x-component of the rope on the right

Which gives;

Fₓ = 91.93 N - 80.0 N = 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the block is given as follows;

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

Force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ = Mass of wagon, m × Acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ

Fₓ = m × aₓ

Therefore;

$\displaystyle a_x = \frac{F_x}{m} \approx \frac{11.93 \, N}{100.0 \, kg} = \mathbf{0.1193 \ m/s^2}$

The acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ ≈ 0.1193 m/s².
