Objects of masses m = 4.00 kg and m, = 9.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in Figure P4.70. The object m, is held at rest on the floor, and m, rests mi on a fixed incline of 0 = 40.0°. The objects are released from rest, and m, slides 1.00 m down the incline in 4.00 s. Determine (a) the acceleration of each object, (b) the tension in the string, and (c) the coefficient of kinetic friction between m, and the incline. m2 Figure P4.70

Falcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2. Suppose the falcon weighs 8.0 N and is turning with an acceleration of 15 m/s2 at the lowest point of the arc. What is the magnitude of the upward lift force at this instant?A. 8.0 N B. 12 NC. 16 N D. 20 N

A 126 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 19 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The crate is a height 0.71 m from the ground, measured vertically from the ground to the crate. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is ls = 0.23. How much time (in seconds) does it take for the crate to get to the base of the ramp?
