Take 2 (or is it 3) on this question. Box a (ma = 2kg) is on a table with some friction ( = 0.4). Box b (mb = 5kg) is hanging over the side of the table. Using energy, how fast is box b going when it hits the ground if box b starts 1.75m above the ground? Only now the solid pulley has to be taken into account. The pulley is solid and has a mass of 0.75kg and a diameter of 20cm.
I have seen an answers for this question posted but it's just the answer and doesn't go trough the equations.
The initial energy of the system (when everything at rest, only potential energy comes into the play)
Now, as the box on the table moves the same distance on the table, the work done by the friction on the box is
The moment of inertia of the pully is
The final energy of the system (when (or just before) the box hits the surface, the potential energy is zero, so, only kinetic energy comes into play)
Putting the values
Now, from work energy theorem
So, when the box hits the ground, its velocity is 4.42 m/s.
question 3 please under problems
the cat measured along the ground. Also, determine the total flight time of the cat from launch to impact. Finally, determine the impact velocity of the cat with the ground. Newton's Laws: Questions: 1. If an automobile moving along a road at constant velocity experiences a force of 400 N in the forward direction, how much frictional force opposes the car's motion? Explain briefly. Problems: 1. (00) A 52 g bullet is fired horizontally from...
Dear Tutors, please help. please look carefully at the
questions before attempting. total of 3 questions. question 3
includes part (a) and (b) only, please attempt all... thank you in
advance
Use g = 9.81 m/s2 for all the questions when applicable Question 1 (a) Fig. Q1a shows two masses A and B of masses 0.75 kg and 0.5 kg respectively, connected by a light inelastic string which passes over a frictionless pulley. The system is held at rest with...
I need the answer for QUESTION 4 not 3.
4. Consider your answer to the previous problem (part a). Assume m1 = 4.00 kg, m2 = 2.00 kg and the pulley has a radius of R = 6.00 cm and a mass M = 3.00 kg. The magnitude of the frictional torque exerted on the pulley is 0.500 N.m. (a) Starting from rest, how long does it take for the 4.00 kg block to reach the floor, which is 1.0...
