A 3.0-kg mass and a 5.0-kg mass hang vertically at the opposite ends of a very light rope that goes over an ideal pulley. If the
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

acceleration = 2.4525‬ m/s²

Explanation:

Data: Let m1 = 3.0 Kg, m2 = 5.0 Kg, g = 9.81 m/s²

Tension in the rope = T

Sol: m2 > m1

i) for downward motion of m2:

m2 a = m2 g - T

5 a = 5 × 9.81 m/s² - T  

⇒ T = 49.05‬ m/s² - 5 a     Eqn (a)‬

ii) for upward motion of m1

m a = T - m1 g

3 a = T - 3 × 9.8 m/s²

⇒ T =  3 a + 29.43‬ m/s²   Eqn (b)

Equating Eqn (a) and(b)

49.05‬ m/s² - 5 a = T =  3 a + 29.43‬ m/s²

49.05‬ m/s² - 29.43‬ m/s² = 3 a + 5 a

19.62 m/s² = 8 a

⇒ a = 2.4525‬ m/s²

A shot-putter exerts a force of 0.142 kN on a shot, accelerating it to 22.75 m/s2. What is the mass of the shot?
Svetach [21]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Force and Power.

Since, according to the Newton's law,

Force = mass * Acceleration.

hence, here

Force = 142 N, accelration = 22.75 m/s2

hence, mass = 142/22.75

===> Mass = 6.24 Kg

hence the mass of the shot is 6.24 Kg

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of
EleoNora [17]
If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE  = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.
 
Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
     FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
     TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
     TRUE

D) All of the above.
     FALSE
