A toy submarine of mass m = 0.730 kg moves around a submerged circular track of radius R = 1.77 m. The submarine's engine provides a constant propulsion force of F = 4.88 N. When the sub is in motion, it is subject to a viscous drag force exerted by the water. This force is proportional to the sub's speed; the proportionality factor is C = 1.26 kg/s. Assuming it starts from rest at t = 0.s, the speed v (t) of the submarine at a later timet is given by v (1) = (1 – e-Ctim) where e is the base of the natural logarithm. How much time has passed when the submarine's speed reaches 62% of its terminal value? t = What is the magnitude of the submarine's acceleration a at m/s2 this time? a = 16000
A force F acts to the right on a 6.4 kg block. A 3.43 kg block is stacked on top of the 6.4 kg block and can slide on it with a coefficient of 1. 40.72541 2. 22.0506 friction of u1 =0.2 between the blocks. Both pulleys are massless and frictionless. The string is also massless. Note the axle of the upper pulley is free to move so it will accelerate to the left as the 6.4 kg block accelerates to the right. Think carefully about the magnitude of that axle's acceleration.

Students are performing an experiment with the setup shown above, where a block of mass M sits on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk. The block is connected to a hanging object over a pulley. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. The string connecting the two is very light and does not stretch. The students add mass to the hanging object so that its mass is m, where m < M, and the block-hanging object system is released from rest. The hanging object falls for a distance h, at which point it collides with the ground and comes to rest. The block on the table keeps sliding and travels a total distance d before coming to rest. It does not reach the pulley, and d > h. A student creates a data table (see image) for the net force exerted on the block during the speeding up and slowing down portions of the experiment. (d) Does the block of mass M spend more time speeding up or slowing down? Justify your answer.
