Question

98 N 147 N 147 N 98 N a) 140 N b) 147N c) 140 N d) 147 N A 6.00-kg block and an 8.00-kg block are connected as shown When released, the 6.00-kg block accelerates downward and the 8.00-kg block accelerates to the right. After each block has moved 2.00 cm, the total work done on the 8.00-kg block 2. a) is less than the total work done on the 6.00-kg block b) is the same as the total work done on the 6.00-kg block c) is greater than the total work done on the 6.00-kg block d) not enough information given to decide

Explanation / Answer

Since both masses are connected by a single string both have equal acceleration = a

Both traveled with same distance = d

Work done on mass m1(8.00kg)= W1= Net force on m1*distance traveled = F1*d = m1*a*d -----------(1)

Work done on mass m2(6.00kg)= W2 = Net force on m2*distance traveled = F2*d = m2*a*d -----------(2)

m1>m2,

Comparing eqn (1) and (2),

W1>W2

Thus total work done on the 8.00-kg block is greater than the total work done on the 6.00-kg block.
