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

The environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment.<br><br><br>TRUE OR FALSE
Drupady [299]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The statement that the environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment is incorrect. It should be noted that people also affect the environment.

Some of our impact on the environment include pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, burning of fossil fuels etc. Thus has resulted in changes such as erosion, climate change, etc.

A hummingbird 3.4m above the ground flies 1.2 m along a straight line path. Upon spotting a flower below, the hummingbird drops
Anit [1.1K]

A = horizontal displacement of the humming bird = 1.2 m

B = vertical displacement of the humming bird = 1.4 m

C = net displacement of the humming bird from initial to final position = ?

In the triangle drawn , Using Pythagorean theorem

C = √(A² + B²)

inserting the values

C = √(1.2² + 1.4²)

C = √(1.44 + 1.96)

C = √(3.4)

C = 1.4 m

Hence the net displacement of hummingbird comes out to be 1.4 m

The tire of your bicycle needs air so you attach a bicycle pump to it and begin to push down on the pump’s handle. If you exert
dusya [7]

Answer:

12.5 J

Explanation:

Force, F = 25 N

Distance, d = 0.5 m

The direction of force and the displacement is same.

Work is defined as the product of force in the direction of displacement and the displacement.

Work = Force x displacement x CosФ

Where, Ф be the angle between force and the displacement

Here, Ф = 0°

So, W = 25 x 0.5 x Cos0°

W = 12.5 J

The speed of sound in seawater is 1470 m/s. A dolphin sends out a click that reflects off of an
Nitella [24]

Answer: 0.204 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound V is defined as the distance traveled d in a especific time t:  

V=\frac{d}{t}  

Where:  

V=1470 m/s is the speed of sound  in seawater

t is the time the sound wave travels from the dolphin and then returns after the reflection

d=2(150 m) is twice the distance between the dolphin and the object to which the sound waves are reflected

Finding t:

t=\frac{d}{V}  

t=\frac{2(150 m)}{1470 m/s}

<u>Finally:</u>

t=0.204 s
