If the applied force is 60 N and the lower mass is 1.0 kg, what is the tension in the string?(frictionless surface)

Physics

Alik [6]2 years ago

The net force on the larger mass in the horizontal direction (where we take the direction of F to be positive) is

F - T = 2Ma

where T is the magnitude of tension and a is the mass's acceleration.

The net force on the smaller mass in the vertical direction (upward is positive) is

T - Mg = Ma

If M = 1.0 kg and F = 60 N, then we end up with two equations with two unknowns,

60 N - T = (2.0 kg) a

T - (1.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (1.0 kg) a

Eliminate a and solve for T :

(60 N - T) - 2 (T - (1.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²)) = (2.0 kg) a - 2 (1.0 kg) a

60 N - T - 2T + 19.6 N = (2.0 kg) a - (2.0 kg) a

40.4 N - 3T = 0

3T = 40.4 N

T = (40.4 N) / 3

T ≈ 13 N

Use the collision theory to explain how increasing the temperature of a reaction will affect the rate of the reaction.
kirill115 [55]
Increasing the temperature causes the particles in the reaction to become kinetically excited, hitting one another in increasing frequency. Increased collision among means faster rate or reaction.

four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time , yet there is no net force on the toy.how is this possible?
Kay [80]
There was no net force on the stuffed toy, because the kids might have the same strength,  The same force is on both sides of it.  T<span>hey cancel each other out. They exert a force on the stuffed toy equal in strength but opposite in direction. The forces are balanced and the stuffed toy does not move.  </span>Its like a game of tug-o-war, but you and I have the same strength. the rope would be still and not moving.

If the police are chasing a runaway car why is knowing the velocity of the car important
atroni [7]

If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.

You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.

Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.

Two parallel wires are separated by 5.60 cm, each carrying 2.65 A of current in the same direction. (a) What is the magnitude of
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The separation between two parallel wires, r = 5.6 cm = 0.056 m

Current in both the wires is 2.65 A

(a) We need to find the magnitude of the force per unit length between the wires. It can be given by :

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I_1I_2}{2\pi r}\\\\\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.65\times 2.65}{2\pi \times 0.056}\\\\\dfrac{F}{l}=2.5\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

(b) As the current is in same direction, the wires will attract each other.
