The figure shows a container of mass m₁-4.8 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 0.94 m/s² across the horizontal frictionless surface. What are (a) the tension in the cord and (b) mass m₂?

Emma and Katie are racing along in their new wagon. Upon reaching the bottom of the hill traveling at 13.2 m/s, Katie notices her teddy bear 12.0 m in front of them, panics and locks the brakes sending the wagon into a skid. If the wagon and its contents have a total mass of 1.50 x10^1 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the rubber wagon tires is (0.75), by how much does the wagon miss the bear?

An ice hockey puck is sliding over a frictionless horizontal surface with a constant velocity of vo = 10.2 m/s. Find the velocity of the puck after it passes a rough area of length L 6 m and with the kinetic friction coefficient u = 0.33 as shown below. Hint: the mass of the puck is not needed, you can either calculate everything per unit of mass or, if it helps, take m 160 grams. %3D %3D %3D %3D m Vo L The steps to follow: (1) find the initial KE of the puck; (2) find the work done by the friction force (should be negative); (3) find the final kinetic energy as KE; = KE; + W, meaning that some of the initial kinetic energy is lost due to the work done by friction; (4) from the final KE find the final speed.
