<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Work = 125 joules </em>

<h3><u>Explanation and solution</u>;</h3>

Work is the product of force and the distance covered. Therefore, Work = force × distance.

Work is measured in joules.
Work is also a change in energy, such that work is done when energy changes, so when kinetic energy, or potential energy changes the there is work being done.

Thus; kinetic energy = work done

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

= 1/2 × 10× 5²

= 5 × 25

= 125 joules

Hence, work done is 125 joules.

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = $\frac{4m}{2} x^2 + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2$

T = $4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy$

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = $-4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant$

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

$L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant$

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange equation = $4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0$

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

A helicopter flies 250 km on a straight path in a direction 60° south of east. The east component of the helicopter’s displaceme

GaryK [48]

Given that,

Distance in south-west direction = 250 km

Projected angle to east = 60°

East component = ?

since,

cos ∅ = base/hypotenuse

base= hyp * cos ∅

East component = 250 * cos 60°

East component = 125 km

Two long, parallel wires carry unequal currents in the same direction. The ratio of the currents is 3 to 1. The magnitude of the

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3A is the larger of the two currents.

Explanation:

Let the currents in the two wires be I₁ and I₂

given:

Magnitude of the electric field, B = 4.0μT = 4.0×10⁻⁶T

Distance, R = 10cm = 0.1m

Ratio of the current = I₁ : I₂ = 3 : 1

Now, the magnitude of a magnetic field at a distance 'R' due to the current 'I' is given as

$B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}$

Where $\mu_o$ is the magnitude constant = 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m

Thus, the magnitude of a magnetic field due to I₁ will be

$B_1 = \frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R}$

$B_2 = \frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}$

given,

B = B₁ - B₂ (since both the currents are in the same direction and parallel)

substituting the values of B, B₁ and B₂

we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R}$ - $\frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}$

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi R}\times (I_1-I_2 )$

also

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{3}{1}$

⇒ $I_1 = 3\times I_2$

substituting the values in the above equation we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}{2\pi 0.1}\times (3 I_2-I_2)$

⇒ $I_2 = 1A$

also

$I_1 = 3\times I_2$

⇒ $I_1 = 3\times 1A$

⇒ $I_1 = 3A$

Hence, the larger of the two currents is 3A

GenaCL600 [577]

Complete Question

For each of the following scenarios, describe the force providing the centripetal force for the motion:

a. a car making a turn

b. a child swinging around a pole

c. a person sitting on a bench facing the center of a carousel

d. a rock swinging on a string

e. the Earth orbiting the Sun.

Answer:

Considering a

The force providing the centripetal force is the frictional force on the tires \

i.e $\mu mg = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static friction

Considering b

The force providing the centripetal force is the force experienced by the boys hand on the pole

Considering c

The force providing the centripetal force is the normal from the bench due to the boys weight

Considering d

The force providing the centripetal force is the tension on the string

Considering e

The force providing the centripetal force is the force of gravity between the earth and the sun

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit

inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses $x_1$ distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1$

When speed doubles

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}$

$x_2=2x_1$

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value
