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

HELP ASAP <br> Describe when contact metamorphism occurs?
diamong [38]

Contact metamorphism occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions and results from high temperatures associated with the igneous intrusion. Since only a small area surrounding the intrusion is heated by the magma, metamorphism is restricted to the zone surrounding the intrusion, called a metamorphic or contact aureole

Define neuron and nerve<br>cell​
san4es73 [151]

Answer: Hi!

A neuron is a basic working unit of the brain. Neurons are special cells designed to transfer information to other nerve, muscle, or gland cells. They are pretty cool - looking too! (A slightly irregular circular shape with branches reaching out from all sides.) A neuron is a nerve cell. Nerve cells are the way of communication in the nervous system.

Hope this helps!

if the distance of separation begin two objects is doubled, is the gravitational force between the objects increased or decrease
SashulF [63]

Answer:

force is decreased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravitation between the two object is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. Now the distance is doubled, so the force between the two objects becomes one forth.

Force is decreased by a factor or 4.

What does the law of conservation of energy state?
VikaD [51]

The total amount of energy remains constant in an isolated system. It implies that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be change from one form to another.

What is the energy range (in joules) of photons of wavelength 410 nm to 750 nm ? Express your answers using two significant figu
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

4.9 x 10^-19 J, 2.7 x 10^-19 J

Explanation:

first wavelength, λ1 = 410 nm = 410 x 10^-9 m

Second wavelength, λ2 = 750 nm = 750 x 10^-9 m

The relation between the energy and the wavelength is given by

E = h c / λ

Where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light.

h = 6.63 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

So, energy correspond to first wavelength

E1 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (410 x 10^-9) = 4.85 x 10^-19 J

E1 = 4.9 x 10^-19 J

So, energy correspond to second wavelength

E2 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (750 x 10^-9) = 2.652 x 10^-19 J

E2 = 2.7 x 10^-19 J
