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

tive to the horizontal with a tension of 120.0N. The rope on the left is pulled directly to the west with a tension of 80.0N.
1. Find the x and y components of the tension forces applied by both ropes. Show all work.
2. Find the net force in the x (horizontal) direction assuming no friction. Show all work.
3. Find the net acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction. Show all work.

Thanks in advance for any help, it's appreciated

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 <u>91.93 N</u>
  • y-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately <u>71.135 N</u>
  • 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 <u>11.93 N</u>

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

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 <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> component of the tension in the rope on the right are;

x-component = 120.0 N × cos(40.0°) ≈ <u>91.93 N</u>

y-component = 120.0 N × sin(40.0°) ≈ <u>77.135 N</u>

The <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> component of the tension in the rope on the left are;

x-component = 80.0 N × cos(180°) = <u>-80.0 N</u>

y-component = 80.0 N × sin(180°) = <u>0.0 N</u>

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 = <u>11.93 N</u>

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 ≈ <u>0.1193 m/s²</u>.

An object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Given that an object of mass 2 kg starts from rest and is allowed to slide down a frictionless incline so that its height changes by 20 m. 

The parameters given from the question are:

Mass M = 2kg

Height h = 20m

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

At the bottom of the incline plane, the object will experience maximum kinetic energy.

From conservative of energy, maximum K.K.E = maximum P.E

Maximum P.E = mgh

Maximum P.E = 2 × 9.8 × 20 = 392 J

But

K.E = 1/2mv^2

Substitute the values of energy and mass into the formula

392 = 1/2 × 2 × V^2

V^2 = 392

V = sqrt( 392 )

V = 19.8 m/s

V = 20 m/s approximately

Invader Zim’s spaceship is sitting at rest in outer space. The ship then accelerates at a uniform rate of 12 m/s2 for 10 seconds
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

120 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 12 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (12 m/s²) (10 s) + 0 m/s

v = 120 m/s

2 ways to change frictional force between 2 objects
Zanzabum
In order to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces, it can be changed by shorter distances and by the amount of weight it has or the amount of force that is pushing that object to go however distance it can.
