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

What is the danger to spacecraft and astronauts from micrometeoroids?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Suppose the micrometeoroid weighed 1 g = .001 kg

Suppose also the spacecraft were moving at 18,000 mph (1.5 hrs per rev)

Usually, the smaller particle would be moving but for simplicity suppose that it were stationary wrt the ground

v = 18000 miles / hr * 1500 m/mile / 3600 sec/hr = 7500 m/s

KE = 1/2 * .001 kg * (7500 m)^2 = 28,125 Joules

One can see that 28000 Joules could be damaging amount of energy

The experimentation step of scientific inquiry involves _______.
Hoochie [10]
<span>The answer is letter D.

The most important step in formulation a scientific inquiry is to first formulate a question. All answers sprung from a question that scratched the mind. Experimentation is not possible without the need to question, with this, the drive to find the answers is what motivates scientists or people involved in an experiment to find the answers that would suffice their curiosity. Questions are the basis of all the other choices above and is the most crucial step in the scientific inquiry.<span>
