GO Figure 5-47 shows Atwood’s machine, in which two containers are connected by a cord (of negligible mass) passing over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). At time t = 0, container 1 has mass 1.30 kg and container 2 has mass 2.80 kg, but container 1 is losing mass (through a leak) at the constant rate of 0.200 kg/s. At what rate is the acceleration magnitude of the containers changing at (a) t = 0 and (b) t = 3.00 s? (c) When does the acceleration reach its maximum value?

- The figure shows Atwood's machine, in which two containers are connected by a cord (of negligible mass) passing over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). At time t = 0 container 1 has mass 1.2 kg and container 2 has mass 2.7 kg, but container 1 is losing mass (through a leak) at the constant rate of 0.21 kg/s. At what rate is the acceleration magnitude of the containers changing at (a)t = 0 and (b)t = 5 s? (c) When does the acceleration reach its maximum value?

Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…arrow_forwardblock 1 of mass m1 2.0 kg and block 2 of mass m2 3.0 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at u = 30. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move.What then is the tension in the string?arrow_forward
