Question
The figure shows an arrangement with an air track, in which a cart is connected by a cord to a
hanging block. The cart has mass m₁ = 0.770 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (-0.520
m, 0 m); the block has mass m₂ = 0.570 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (0, -0.150 m).
The mass of the cord and pulley are negligible. The cart is released from rest, and both cart and
block move until the cart hits the pulley. The friction between the cart and the air track and
between the pulley and its axle is negligible. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of
the center of mass of the cart-block system? (b) What is the velocity of the com as a function of
time t, in unit-vector notation?
