A block with mass m1 = 4.50 kg and a ball with mass m2 = 7.70 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless

pulley, as shown in figure (a). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.300.
(a) Find the acceleration of the two objects and the tension in the string.
(b) Check the answer for the acceleration by using the system approach. (Use the following as necessary: m1, m2, μk, and g.)
(c) What if an additional mass is attached to the ball? How large must this mass be to increase the downward acceleration by 60%?

For (a) I calculated acceleration to be 5.10 m/s^2 and tension to be 36.2N.
For (b) I the equation is a = (m2g-ukm1g)/(m1+m2)
It is (c) that I cannot figure out. Can anybody please help me?

$1.6a = \frac{g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} \\ \\ 1.6a(m_1 + m_2 + m_3) = g(m_2 + m_3 - \mu km_1) \\ \\ (1.6a + \mu kg)m_1 + (1.6a - g)m_2 = (g - 1.6a)m_3 \\ \\ m_3 = \frac{1.6a +\mu kg}{g - 1.6a} m_1 - m_2 \\ \\ m_3 = 22.57 kg$

Nisha was making a list of things that are obtained from plants and Amol was making a list of things that can dissolve in water.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Sugar

Explanation:

Nisha's list: Amol's list

Jute Vinegar

Wood Lemon juice

Rubber Cooking soda

Nisha's list is made up of things that can be derived from plants. From the list given, oil, sugar and cotton can also be obtained from plants.

Most plant materials are organic matter.

Amol's list is made up of things that can dissolve in water. Sugar and table salt can also be dissolved in water.

Water is able to dissolve these materials because they are polar compounds. One rule of solubility is that like dissolves like.

New list:

Nisha's list: Amol's list

Jute Vinegar

Wood Lemon juice

Rubber Cooking soda

Sugar Sugar

Only sugar from the list can be added to both lists. It can be obtained from plant and can also dissolve in water.

A major league baseball pitcher throws a pitch that follows these parametric equations: x(t) = 142t y(t) = –16t2 + 5t + 5. The t

Answer:

(a) $x'(t)= 142$

(b) 142

(d) 96.8 mph

(e) 0.426 s

(f) 0.061 rad

Explanation:

Velocity is a time-derivative of position.

(a) $x(t) = 142t$

$x'(t)= 142$

(b) Since $x'(t)= 142$ is independent of $t$ , it follows it was constant throughout. Hence, at any point or time, the horizontal velocity is 142.

$y'(t)= -32t+5$

(d) When it passes the home plate, the ball has travelled 60.5 ft (from the question). This is horizontal, so it is equivalent to $x(t)$ .

$x(t)= 142t = 60.5$

$t=\dfrac{60.5}{142}= 0.426$ .

In this time, the vertical velocity, $y'(t)$ is

$y(t)= -32\times0.426+5 = -8.632$

The speed of the ball at thus point is $s=\sqrt{142^2+(-8.632)^2}=142$ ft/s

To convert this to mph, we multiply the factor 3600/5280

$s=142\times\dfrac{3600}{5280}=96.8 \text{ mph}$

(e) The time has been determined from (d) above.

$t= 0.426$

(f) This angle is given by

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{y'(t)}{x'(t)}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-8.632}{142}=\tan^{-1}-0.0607=3.47$ (Note here we are considering the acute angle so we ignore the negative sign)

In radians, this is

$\theta=3.47\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}=0.061 \text{ rad}$

nadezda [96]

That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.
