1. I conduct a Physics experiment on the moon and on Earth. In this experiment, I push on my 70 kg partner who is standing on a frictionless, horizontal floor (of course) with 100 N of force parallel to the ground. (a) What is his acceleration on Earth? (b) How would the result change when I conduct it on the moon? Explain/show. 2. I am crouched down at rest near the surface of the Earth. I then spring upward as hard as I can. While springing upward, what is the relationship between the normal force applied to me from the floor and the gravitational force exerted on me by the Earth? Explain why this must be so.

5. Two identical blocks, each with mass m, both at rest initially, are connected, as shown. The surface is rough with the coefficient of kinetic friction 4. If the initial height is h, what are the speeds of the blocks once the hanging block hits the ground? h
In the situation below, m1=20 kg and m2=10 kg. The masses are at rest. A) What is the minimum coefficient of friction between the incline and m1? B) The sting and cut and m1 slides down the incline. What is its speed when it reaches the bottom? The block is initially at height of 10 meters.
23. Two blocks are attached to a light string. Block A (mA=7.9kg) is at rest on a frictionless table. Block B (mB=1.36kg) hangs off the edge of the table, as shown. Both blocks are released from rest.Using the single-system approach, what is the acceleration of the system?a= ms2 Block A is on a table and block B is hanging off the table on a rope connecting the two blocks*Round your answer to the nearest thousandth if necessary.
