On a horízontal air track, a glider of mass m carries a l-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.(Figure a below shows a cart and a sphere similarly connected.) A constant horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to the glider,moving it through displacement x;; then the force is removed. During the time interval when the force is applied, the spheremoves through a displacement with horizontai component x2.(a) Find the horizontal component of the velocity of the center of mass of the glider-sphere system when the force isremoved. (Use the following as necessary: F, x1, x2, and m.)F(x, +x2)VCM2m(b) After the force is removed, the glider continues to move on the track and the sphere swings back and forth, bothwithout friction. Find an expression for the largest angle the cord makes with the vertical. (Use any variable or symbolstated above along with the following as necessary: g.)F(*, +*)COS2mgl

A 54.9-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -1.93 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 1.09 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer. Number -9.72 Units
A boy of mass m = 36 kg is standing initially at rest relative to the moving walkway, which has a constant horizontal speed u = 1.1 m/s. He decides to accelerate his progress and starts to walk from point A with a steadily increasing speed and reaches point B (a distance s = 29 m) with a speed dx/dt = v = 2.5 m/s relative to the walkway. During his acceleration he generates an average horizontal force F between his shoes and the walkway. Calculate the work done on the boy by the force F from an absolute viewpoint and then from a relative viewpoint. Explain the difference. Answers: Absolute viewpoint, Work = i Relative viewpoint, Work = i J
Here we have a block of mass (m=2.50kg) resting on a place inclined at an angle of ø=30° to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is Ustatic = 0.135 and the block is stationary but just on the point of sliding up the slope. The diagram shows the four forces acting on the block: an applied force F1 acting up the slope, the block's weight mg, the normal reaction force N and the force of static friction, Ff. In this case, the force of static friction acts down the slope, opposing the tendency of the block to move up the slope. Find the the maximum magnitude of the applied force F1 that can be exerted if the block is to remain stationary.
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
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
