a 15-kg block is on a frictionless ramp that is inclined at 20° above the horizontal. it is connected by a very light string ove

r an ideal pulley at the top edge of the ramp to a hanging 19-kg block, as shown in the figure. the string pulls on the 15-kg block parallel to the surface of the ramp. find the magnitude of the acceleration of the 19-kg block after the system is gently released?

Hi there!

Since the string is light and there is no friction in the pulley, the acceleration of the system is equal to the acceleration of both blocks.

We can begin by summing the forces of each block:

Block on incline:

- Force of gravity (in the negative direction away from the acceleration)

- Force of Tension

∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T

Block hanging:

- Force of gravity (Positive, in direction of acceleration)

- Force of Tension (Negative, opposite from acceleration)

∑F = M₂g - T

Sum both of these net forces for each block:

∑Fт = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g

∑Fт = -M₁gsinФ + M₂g

Divide by the mass to solve for acceleration:

a = \frac{-M_1gsin\theta+M_2g}{M_1+M_2}

Plug in the given values:

a = \frac{-(15)(9.81)(sin20)+19(9.81)}{15+19} = 4.002 m/s^2

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 0

Explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the object and its time interval.

so here we can say

v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}

now we know that in one complete revolution the total displacement of the tip of the seconds hand is zero

because it will have same position after one complete revolution from where it starts

so here we can say that the average velocity will be zero

v_{avg} = 0

How much support force does a table exert on a book that weighs 15 N when the book is placed on the table?
mestny [16]

Answer:

15 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction is equal in magnitude to the force acting but in an opposite direction.

Now, if the book weighs 15 N, an opposite equal force will be: N = -15 N

But the magnitude of this will be the absolute value which is 15N.
