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

A 180-ohm resistor has 0.10 A of current in it. what is the potential difference across the resistor
Firlakuza [10]
We know V=IR (Ohm's law).

We are given R=180Ω and I=0.1A, then V=(0.1AΩ)(180Ω). Therefore

V=18V

A bicycle tire of a radius of 0.44 m has a piece of gum stuck on its rim. What is the angle through which the tire rotates when
Karolina [17]

Based on the calculations, the angle through which the tire rotates is equal to 4.26 radians and 244.0 degrees.

<h3>How to calculate the angle?</h3>

In Physics, the distance covered by an object in circular motion can be calculated by using this formula:

S = rθ

<u>Where:</u>

  • r is the radius of a circular path.
  • θ is the angle measured in radians.
  • S is the distance.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

1.87 = 0.44 × θ

θ = 1.87/0.44

θ = 4.26 radians.

Next, we would convert this value in radians to degrees:

θ = 4.26 × 180/π

θ = 4.26 × 180/3.142

θ = 244.0 degrees.

What is the origin of magma
sveta [45]
Magma forms by partial melting of upper mantle and crust. Partial melt means that only a fraction of the available material forms a melt, and that the remainder stays solid. The partial melt rises because of its lower density and ascends through he crust.
