In the figure, a man is trying to get his car out of mud on the shoulder of a road. He ties one end of a rope tightly around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 12 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 400 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.47 m from its previous position, and the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.) Number i Units

Two carts on a low friction air-track are connected by an unstretched spring. Cart 1 has an inertia of 1.5 kg while cart 2 has an inertia of 2.5 kg. The spring has a spring constant of 10 N/m and negligible inertia. You push cart 1 in the direction of the cart 2 with a constant force of 5.0 N. (a) What is the acceleration of the centre of mass of the cart-spring system? (b) What is the acceleration of each cart the instant you begin to push?
Two objects (m1=11.0 kg and m2=3.00 kg) are separated by 40.0 cm. A third object (m3=1.00 kg) is placed at a location along the line connecting them such that the net force acting on it is zero. By considering the force vectors, this location must be between the two original objects. We will define x as the distance between m1 and m3 and y as the distance between m2 and m3. 1) Find the distance between 11.0-kg object and 1.00-kg object along the line AB where a small, 1.00-kg object could rest such that the net gravitational force on it due to the two objects shown is exactly zero. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

My sister Crystal of mass M1=50kg is on an ice covered sidewalk with her dog Buster, who has mass M2=38kg. They are initially distanced d=5.00m apart. By pulling on the massless leash, my sister exerts a constant force F=30.00N on Buster, Buster slides towards her. How fast is Buster moving when he and my sister meet? (The leash is not rigid, so the distance can change between them. They also end at the same point, which means even if you cannot solve for their position, you can set them equal to one another)
A 686 N park ranger uses a basket and a rope-pulley system to transport an injured sea turtle up to a plateau, as shown in the figure. The sea turtle and basket together have a mass of 50.0 kg. The ranger holds firmly onto the rope and walks away from the cliff, speeding up at a steady rate of 0.300 m/2 2. He thereby causes the basket (and the turtle) to accelerate straight upwards at the same rate. Assume that the rope has negligible weight and that the pulley is ideal, having no friction in its bearing. Also assume that as the ranger trudges along, his feet do not slip on the ground. +x 26.

A 2.50 kg box sits halfway up a 16.0 m long ramp that is inclined at an angle of 16.00. You shove a second box, of mass 1.50 kg, that's at the bottom of the ramp, so that it starts sliding up the ramp with a speed of 20.0 m/s. It hits the first box, sticks to it, and they both continue to slide up the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boxes and the ramp is 0.200. Where, from the bottom of the ramp, do they come to rest?
In the figure, a man is trying to get his car out of mud on the shoulder of a road. He ties one end of a rope tightly around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 29 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 550 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.28 m from its previous position, and the car barely moves.

In the figure here, block 1 of mass 2.2 kg and block 2 of mass 3.4 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at 0 = 23 °. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move. What then is the tension in the string? Number i Unit
The figure shows a container of mass m₁ = 3.7 kg connected to a block of mass m₂ by a cord looped around a frictionless pulley. The cord and pulley have negligible mass. When the container is released from rest, it accelerates at 0.85 m/s² across the horizontal frictionless surface. What are (a) the tension in the cord and (b) mass m₂?

A car driver is stopped at a red light at an intersection. When the light goes green, she puts her foot on the accelerator, causing the engine to generate a varying driving force F(t) =430t + 860 t2 (with t in seconds, F in Newtons). It takes 3.00 seconds for the car to cross the intersection. The mass of the car (including passengers) is 700 kg. What is the speed of the car once it has crossed the interaction?
