On a horizontal air track, a glider of mass m carries a Γ-shaped post. The post supports a small dense sphere, also of mass m, hanging just above the top of the glider on a cord of length L. The glider and sphere are initially at rest with the cord vertical. A constant horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to the glider, moving it through displacement x1; then the force is removed. During the time interval when the force is applied, the sphere moves through a displacement with horizontal component x2. (a) Find the horizontal component of the velocity of the center of mass of the glider–sphere system when the force is removed. (b) After the force is removed, the glider continues to move on the track and the sphere swings back and forth, both without friction. Find an expression for the largest angle the cord makes with the vertical.
Chapter 06, Problem 066 GO In the figure here, block 1 of mass 2.4 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 = 28 °. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.28. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move. What then is the tension in the string? Number Unit the tolerance is +/-5% Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show Work
A girl swings a 0.190 kg rock attached to a taut string in a circle around her head; her hand holds the end of the string above her head, and the string angles down slightly. The string is massless and 0.680 m long. A coordinate system lies with its origin at the location where the string comes out of the girl's hand. The positive z-axis points vertically upwards, the positive y- axis points horizontally towards the right, and the positive x-axis points out of the screen. At a certain instant, the rock makes 3.25 revolutions per second (rev/s) in a counterclockwise direction, as seen from above. The string is inclined at an angle of 0 = 12.4° below the xy-plane, and the projection of the string onto the xy- plane makes an angle o = 36.8° with the positive x-axis. What is the tangential velocity vector v in meters per second (m/s) at this instant? Report your answer using ijk unit vector notation. i = v, i + vyj+ vz k m/s

A Block A with mass mĄ rests on a horizontal tabletop, while block B with mass mg hangs from a string of negligible mass that passes over a pulley and attaches to block A, as shown above. The pulley has negligible mass and rotates with negligible friction about its axle. The blocks are at rest due to friction between block A and the tabletop. The coefficient of static friction between block A and the tabletop is u (mu), where u < 1.
Two blocks, which can be modeled as point masses, are connected by a massless string which passes through a hole in a frictionless table. A tube extends out of the hole in the table so that the portion of the string between the hole and M1 remains parallel to the top of the table. The blocks have masses M1 = 1.4 kg and M2 = 2.1 kg. Block 1 is a distance r = 0.85 m from the center of the frictionless surface. Block 2 hangs vertically underneath. a) Assume that block two, M2, does not move relative to the table and that block one, M1, is rotating around the table. What is the speed of block one, M1, in meters per second? b) How much time, in seconds, does it take for block one, M1, to make one revolution?
The figure below shows two boxes connected to each other by a light cord that passes over a pulley with negligible friction. The box of mass m1 = 3.80 kg lies on a horizontal table with negligible friction, while the box of mass m2 = 10.3 kg hangs vertically. Two boxes labeled m1 and m2 are attached together by a cord. Box m1 lies on a horizontal table with the cord extending horizontally from its right side. The cord extends horizontally from the right side of m1 then goes over a pulley and then straight down to m2. Box m2 hangs from the cord. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each box (in m/s2)? (Here, a1 is the acceleration of m1, and a2 is the acceleration of m2.) a1 = m/s2 a2 = m/s2 (b) What is the tension in the cord (in N)? N

It rests on a smooth (assume frictionless) horizontal table and is connected by a very light horizontal string over an ideal pulley to block B, which has a mass of 2.80 kg.

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)
