The Atwood’s machine shown consists of two blocks of mass m1 and m2 that are connected by a light string that passes over a pull

ey of negligible friction and negligible mass. The block of mass m1 is a distance h1 above the ground, and the block of mass m2 is a distance h2 above the ground. m2 is larger than m1. The two-block system is released from rest. Which of the following claims correctly describes the outcome after the blocks are released from rest but before the block of m2 reaches the ground? Select two answers.

(A) For the system consisting of the two blocks, the change in the kinetic energy of the system is equal to work done by gravity on the system.

(D) For the system consisting of the two blocks, the pulley and the Earth, the change in the total mechanical energy of the system is zero.

<h3 /><h3>The given parameters:</h3>
  • Mass of block 1 = m1
  • Mass of block 2, = m2
  • Height of block 1 above the ground, = h1
  • Height of block 2 above the ground = h2

The total initial mechanical energy of the two block system is calculated as follows;

m_1gh_1 + \frac{1}{2} m_1v_1_i^2 = m_2gh_2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2v_2_i^2\\\\m_1gh_1 + 0 = m_2gh_2 + 0\\\\m_1gh_1 = m_2gh_2\\\\m_1gh_1 - m_2gh_2 = 0

When the block m2 reaches the ground the block m1 attains maximum height and the total mechanical energy at this point is given as;

m_1g(h_1 + h_2) + K.E_1 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 + P.E_2\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 ) -PE_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 - K.E_1\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 )  - 0= \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 - 0\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 )  = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2\\\\W = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2

Thus, we can conclude the following before the block m2 reaches the ground;

  • For the system consisting of the two blocks, the pulley and the Earth, the change in the total mechanical energy of the system is zero.
  • For the system consisting of the two blocks, the change in the kinetic energy of the system is equal to work done by gravity on the system.

A body has masses of 0.013kg and 0.012kg in oil and water respectively, if the relative density of oil is 0.875, calculate the m
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

relative density of the oil, \gamma _0 = 0.875

mass of the object in oil, M_o = 0.013 kg

mass of the object in water, M_w = 0.012 kg

let the mass of the object in air = M_a

weight of the oil, W_0 = M_a - 0.013

weight of the water, W_w = M_a - 0.012

The relative density of the oil is given as;

\gamma_0 = \frac{density \ of \ oil }{density \ of \ water} = \frac{W_0}{W_w} = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012} \\\\0.875 = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012}\\\\0.875(M_a - 0.012) = M_a - 0.013\\\\0.875M_a - 0.0105 = M_a -0.013\\\\0.875M_a - M_a = 0.0105 - 0.013\\\\-0.125 M_a = -0.0025\\\\M_a = \frac{0.0025}{0.125} \\\\M_a = 0.02 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Which of the following nuclei is most stable based on its binding energy?
Anettt [7]
We have that the most stable nuclei are the ones with the highest average binding energy. We see that Nitrogen has a mass number of 15 and that in this region of the graph average binding energy is low. Silver and Gold are along a line where there is a constant decline in average binding energy; silver has more than gold. However, we see that at the start of this decline, there is Fe 56. This region has the elements with the highest average binding energy; Nickel with a mass number of 58 is right there and thus it is the most stable nucleus out of the listed ones.

How can seismographs be used to predict hurricane intensity?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: The earth is a noisy place. Seismometers, which measure ground movements to detect earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and manmade explosives, are constantly recording smaller vibrations caused by ocean waves, rushing rivers, and industrial activity.
