A student is experimenting with an Atwood's machine. The machine involves two pucks connected by a massless cord passing over two pulleys and an inclined air table. The system is frictionless. The student takes position (x) vs time (t) data of one of the pucks and plots (x) vs (t²) graph. He finds that the slope of this graph is 17 cm/s². He does not know the masses of the pucks. He is given the information that the acceleration due to gravity is g = 10 m/s² and the angle of inclination of the air table is 0 = 10°. Denoting the masses of the light and heavy pucks with m, and m2 respectively, calculate m2 ° (Hint: Take sin(10°) = 0.17. In this problem, you should also consider the theoretical analysis that we made for Atwood's machine in our lectures.) Select one: 1/5 1/3 2/3 2/5

A lazy fish sees your fishing hook. The fish is initially located at position (3 m,-2 m) and drifts towards the fishing hook that is located at position (6 m, 0 m). The fish is a real lunker and has a mass of m = 9.1 kg. a) What is the displacement vector for the fish during this time interval? Express your answer using unit-vector notation (i.e. ->Ar = _î + __j) (6 m, 0 m) |(3 m, -2 m) Suppose the river exerted a constant force of F* = (28 N)î – (14 N)ĵ on the fish as it moved toward the hook. b) How much work was done on the fish by the river?

The figure shows a box of dirty money (mass m₁ = 3.5 kg) on a frictionless plane inclined at angle 0₁ = 34°. The box is connected via a cord of negligible mass to a box of laundered money (mass m₂ = 1.6 kg) on a frictionless plane inclined at angle 02 = 68°. The pulley is frictionless and has negligible mass. What is the tension in the cord? Number Units M²1 m2 02/
A 8 kg decoration hangs from the ceiling. It is suspended by 2 wires. The first wire forms a 40⁰ angle with the ceiling. The second wire forms a 50⁰ angle with the ceiling.a. Find the tension in the 2 wires (including magnitude and direction) b.

Dr. Miller is conducting an experiment. He has a stack of books on a table which is frictionless and flat. He applies a force F on the stack, and finds that it accelerates at 3.0 m/s². He then adds a book to the stack. This is a physics textbook that has a mass of 1.0 kg. He then applies the same force F on the stack and finds that now the stack accelerates at 2.0 m/s². What was the mass of the original stack of books? a) 1.0 kg Ob) 2.0 kg c) 3.0 kg O d) none of the above
A semi is traveling down the highway at a velocity of v = 27.5 m/s. The driver observes a wreck ahead, locks his brakes, and begins to slide. The truck has mass m and a coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road of μk = 0.16. Write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction for the truck while braking? Using the results from Part (a), input an expression for the truck's acceleration, at, while breaking? What is the magnitude of the acceleration in m/s2? How far does the truck travel, d in meters, before stopping?
A truck collides with a car, and during the collision, the net force on each vehicle is essentially the force exerted by the other. Suppose the mass of the car is 850 kg, the mass of the truck is 2,750 kg, and the magnitude of the truck's acceleration is 14 m/s2. Find the magnitude of the car's acceleration (in m/s2).
The following figure shows the acceleration of objects of different mass that experience the same force. Suppose a0 = 6.0m/s^2. What is the magnitude of the force? Express the answer in two significant figures.
