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?

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

Calculate the energy in the form of heat (in kJ) required to change 75.0 g of liquid water at 27.0 °C to ice at –20.0 °C. Assume

REY [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

mass, m = 75 g

$T_{1} = 0^{o}C$

$T_{2} = 27^{o}C$

Specific heat of water = 4.18

First, we will calculate the heat required for water is as follows.

q = $m C \times (T_{1} - T_{2})$

= $75 g \times 4.18 J/g^{o}C \times (0 - 27)^{o}C$

= 8464.5 J/mol

= 8.46 kJ ......... (1)

Also, it is given that $T_{3} = -20^{o}C$ = (20 + 273) K = 293 K and specific heat of ice is 2.108 kJ/kg K.

Now, we will calculate the heat of fusion as follows.

q = $mC \times (T_{3} - T_{1})$

= $0.075 kg \times 2.108 kJ/kg K \times (-293 - 0) K$

= -46.32 kJ ......... (2)

Now, adding both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

8.46 kJ - 46.32 kJ

= -37.86 kJ

Therefore, we can conclude that energy in the form of heat (in kJ) required to change 75.0 g of liquid water at $27.0^{o}C$ to ice at $-20.0^{o}C$ is -37.86 kJ.

you are hiking along a river and see a tall tree on thhe opposite bank. You measure the angle of elevation of the top of the tre

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the height of the tree is y and the distance of tree from point B is x.

According to the diagram

$tan61 = \frac{y}{x}$

x = 0.55 y ..... (1)

$tan49.5 = \frac{y}{50+x}$

(50 + 0.55y) 1.17 = y ..... from equation (1)

58.5 + 0.644 y = y

0.356 y = 58.5

y = 164.3 ft

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio

valentinak56 [21]

The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Torque τ =w ×0 = 0

Explanation:

We know that the torque is given by the product of the force and perpendicular distance between the force and the axis.

Here the gravity force act at the center and the rotational axis is also passing through the center.

Therefore the perpendicular distance between the force and the rotational axis would be zero.

Hence the torque will be

Torque = Force × Perpendicular distance

Torque = mg×0 = 0

Therefore the torque would be zero.

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.85g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode al

SashulF [63]

Answer:

7.9 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Take the fact that mass is inversely proportional to accelertation:

m ∝ a

Therefore m = a, but because we are finding the change in acceleration, we would set our problem up to look more like this:

$\frac{m_{1} }{m_{2} } = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } \\$

Using algebra, we can rearrange our equation to find the final acceleration, $a_{2}$ :

$a_{2} = \frac{a_{1}*m_{1} }{m_{2} } \\$

Before plugging everything in, since you are being asked to find acceleration, you will want to convert 0.85g to m/s^2. To do this, multiply by g, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2:

0.85g * 9.8 $\frac{m }{s^{2} }$ = 8.33 $\frac{m }{s^{2} }$

Plug everything in:

7.9 $\frac{m }{s^{2} }$ = $\frac{ 8.33\frac{m}{s^{2} }*1510kg }{1590kg}$

(1590kg the initial weight plus the weight of the added passenger)
