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 = 0.540 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (- 0.330 m, O m); the block has mass m2 = 0.320 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (0, - 0.140 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?

In the figure, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords as shown in the figure here. One cord makes the angle 0 = 42.6° with the vertical; the other makes the angle o = 47.4° with the vertical. If the length L of the bar is 5.7 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass. com X = i
A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length L = 16.5 m, and mass mp 17.5 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance d = 0.530 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass - 525 g lands on the very end of the left-hand side of the pole. Assuming the daredevil applies upward forces with the left X4 and right hands in a direction perpendicular to the pole, what magnitude of force Fjeft and Fright must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird?

An air puck of mass ml is tied to a string and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius R 5 1.0 m on a frietionless horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the center of the table, and a mass of m2 is tied to it. The suspended mass remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves. Verify that ml =0.25 kg on the table top has v= 6.3 m/s when R 1 meter and m2 1 kg
A pulley has a negligible mass (that means, the radius is not relevant). It is supported with a pin at the center (and is free to rotate). A rope goes over the pulley. Block A, which has a mass of 5.723 kg is connected to one side of the rope. On the other side, Block B, with a mass of 12.602 kg is connected. The system is released from rest. What is the speed of block B, after B has traveled 0.716 m? Please enter a positive value in m/s (but without units) regardless of the direction of the motion of B
