The main difference is that diffusion is used as a term for movement of any chemical from one place to another, while osmosis only represents movement of water across a membrane.

A wooden disk of mass m and radius r has a string of negligible mass is wrapped around it. If the disk is allowed to fall and th
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a = \frac{2}{3}g

T = \frac{mg}{3}

Explanation:

As the disc is unrolling from the thread then at any moment of the time

We have force equation as

mg - T = ma

also by torque equation we can say

TR = I\alpha

TR = \frac{1}{2}mR^2(\frac{a}{R})

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

Now we have

mg - \frac{1}{2}ma = ma

mg = \frac{3}{2}ma

a = \frac{2}{3}g

Also from above equation the tension force in the string is

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

T = \frac{mg}{3}

You throw a tennis ball (mass 0.0570 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 15.0 m/s. Air resistance cannot be neg
Deffense [45]

Answer:195 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=0.0570\ kg

ball leaves the hand with u=15\ m/s

maximum height reached by ball h=8\ m

Initial Mechanical energy when ball just leaves the hand

M.E._1=(P.E.+K.E.)_1

M.E._1=(mgh)_1+(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)_1

considering hand to be datum so h_1=0[/tex]

so Potential energy at ground is zero

M.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times (15)^2

M.E._1=6.41\ J

Mechanical Energy at highest point

(M.E.)_2=(P.E.+K.E.)_2

at highest Point velocity is zero

(M.E.)_2=mgh_2+0

(M.E.)_2=0.0570\times 9.8\times 8

(M.E.)_2=4.46\ J

Decrease in Mechanical energy

(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=6.41-4.46

(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=1.95\ J

The flat-bed trailer carries two 1500-kg beams with the upper beam secured by a cable. The coefficients of static friction betwe
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

a) a= 8.33 m/s²,    T = 12.495 N , b)    a = 2.45 m / s²

Explanation:

a) this is an exercise of Newton's second law. As the upper load is secured by a cable, it cannot be moved, so the lower load is determined by the maximum acceleration.

We apply Newton's second law to the lower charge

            fr₁ + fr₂ = ma

The equation for the force of friction is

          fr = μ N

Y Axis

         N - W₁ –W₂ = 0

         N = W₁ + W₂

         N = (m₁ + m₂) g

Since the beams are the same, it has the same mass

        N = 2 m g

We replace

           μ₁ 2mg + μ₂ mg = m a

          a = (2μ₁ + μ₂) g

          a = (2 0.30 + 0.25) 9.8

          a= 8.33 m/s²

Let's look for cable tension with beam 2

          T = m₂ a

          T = 1500 8.33

          T = 12.495 N

b) For maximum deceleration the cable loses tension (T = 0 N), so as this beam has less friction is the one that will move first, we are assuming that the rope is horizontal

           fr = m₂ a₂

           N- w₂ = 0

          N = W₂ = mg

          μ₂ mg = m a₂

          a = μ₂ g

          a = 0.25 9.8

          a = 2.45 m / s²

calculate the workdone to stretch an elastic string by 40cm if a force of 10N produces an extension of 4cm in it
Lera25 [3.4K]
The force of F=10 N produces an extension of
x=4 cm=0.04 m
on the string, so the spring constant is equal to
k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{10 N}{0.04 m}=250 N/m

Then the string is stretched by \Delta x=40 cm=0.40 m. The work done to stretch the string by this distance is equal to the variation of elastic potential energy of the string with respect to its equilibrium position:
W= \Delta U= \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2  = \frac{1}{2}(250 N/m)(0.40 m)^2=20 J

Un cable está tendido sobre dos postes colocados con una separación de 10 m. A la mitad del cable se cuelga un letrero que provo
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

El peso del cartel es 397,97 N

Explanation:

La tensión dada en cada segmento del cable = 2000 N

El desplazamiento vertical del cable = 50 cm = 0,5 m

La distancia entre los polos = 10 m

La posición del letrero en el cable = En el medio = 5

El ángulo de inclinación del cable a la vertical = tan⁻¹ (0.5 / 5) = 5.71 °

El peso del letrero = La suma del componente vertical de la tensión en cada lado del letrero

El peso del signo = 2000 × sin (5.71 grados) + 2000 × sin (5.71 grados) = 397.97 N

El peso del signo = 397,97 N.
