An 8.75 kg point mass and a 14.0 kg point mass are held in place 50.0 cm apart. a particle of mass m is released from a point between the two masses 17.0 cm from the 8.75 kg mass along the lines connecting the two fixed masses.
a. find the magnitude (a) of the acceleration of the particle in m/s^2.
b. find the direction of the acceleration of the particle. either (i) the acceleration of the particle is toward the 8.75kg mass, or (ii) the acceleration of the particle is toward the 14.0kg mass.

Answer

given,

mass of the = m₁ = 8.75 Kg

another mass of the object = m₂ = 14 Kg

distance between them = 50 cm

R₁ = 17 cm

R₂ = 50 -17 = 33 cm

a) Force applied due to the Mass 8.75  in +ve x- direction

Force applied due to mass 14 Kg in -ve x-direction

net force

F = F₁ + F₂

Using newton second law

b) As the acceleration of mass comes out to be  +ve hence, the direction will be toward the mass of 8.75 Kg

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.
