A free hanging system of 5 kg weight, and 6 kg weight, tied together with a 4 kg rope is pulled upwards with a force of 300 N. A) what is the acceleration of the system? B) what is the tension of the system? C) what is the tension from the middle of the rope ?
A block of 3 kg, initially at rest, is pushed uphill on an incline of 30 degrees over a distance d,. The pushing force is directed horizontally and has a constant magnitude of 35 N. The surface of the incline offers a constant kinetic friction (µk = 0.3). a) Make a FBD for the block and use Newton's 2nd law to find the normal force and the friction. b) Use work-energy approach to calculate how much farther the block moves uphill after we stop pushing (this distance (d,) should be expressed as a proper or improper fraction of the "pushing distance"(d,) – I am not asking for a number!!). Take as your SYSTEM: BALL+INCLINE+EARTH. Make sure to make lists of all the forces that are relevant and to calculate the work done by each of them, as seen in the lectures.

A machine costs P20,000 today and has an estimated scrap value of P2,000 after 8 years. Inflation is 8% per year. The effective annual interest rate earned on money invested is 8%. How much money needs to be set aside each year to replace the machine with an identical model 8 years from now?
A resistor is wired to a battery in a circuit and dissipates a power P1 as heat. A second battery, with the same voltage, is added in series with the first battery, leading the resistor to dissipate a power P2 as heat. How much does the resistor dissipate with two batteries, relative to with one battery, or in other words, what is the ratio P2/P1?
