Two blocks of masses ma = 6.2kg and mg = 17.7kg are placed on a frictionless horizantal surface. A massless spring spring is attached to the more massive block, and the two blocks are pushed together with the spring between them.

Problem B2. A small box of mass m = 1.50 kg starts from rest and glides down a smooth, frictionless hill from a height h = 2.00 m to the base, where it meets a %3D rough plank of mass M = 5.00 kg that is resting on the frictionless horizontal ground surface. Due to the friction between the box and the plank, its speed is reduced until, at a certain moment, it begins to move together with the plank as if they were a single object. %3D M Figure B2. Problem diagram B2 a) Find the speed with which the box reaches the base of the hill.
One student pulls a car with 20 N to the East. Another student pulls the car with 30 N to the West. The car accelerates at 2 m/s² when the two students work together. What is the mass of the car (in kg)?
In the figure, block number 1 has a mass of 2 kg and block number 2 has a mass of 5 kg. The surface is frictionless and the spring constant k = 1120 N / m ‘. Objects move to the right at the speeds given in the figure. When the collision occurs after a while, the compression in the spring becomes maximum when the blocks have the same speed. What is the maximum compression of the spring?
The sport of curling is quite popular in Canada. A curler slides a 19.1-kg stone so that it strikes a competitor's identical stationary stone at 6.10 m/s before moving at an angle of 60.0 counterclockwise from its initial direction. The competitors stone moves off at 5.70 m/s. Determine the final speed of the first stone vif- 1.15 m/s Incorrect Determine the final direction of the second stone as an angle a relative to the first stone's initial direction of motion. Let -60 counterclockwise from the first stone's initial direction define the direction of positive angles. Incorrect

A toy rocket operates by having a spring-loaded tube which ejects a small model rocket when released. The spring inside has a spring constant k = 625N/m, the rocket has a mass of 0.100 kg, and the maximum compression of the spring is 0.18 m. Consider the system of the rocket, spring, and the earth. Consider the interval of time between t1, when the rocket is released from the point of maximum spring compression, and t2, the moment when the spring is fully released and the rocket leaves the launcher. List below the types of energy that are changing during this interval and whether the changes are positive or negative. Please explain how you know.
In the Atwood's machine the two masses are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, m2 falls 1.01 m and hits the floor while m1 rises 1.01 m. How much higher (in centimeters) does m1 go after m2 has hit the floor? m1 = 1.8 kg and m2 = 3.1 kg
Two buckets of nails are arranged in a pulley system as shown in the figure; the pulley itself is both massless and frictionless and the rope may be considered massless. At the instant shown in the figure, the bucket having the most nails is a distance D=3.10 m above the ground, the bucket having the fewest nails is at ground level, and the system has just been released from rest. The bucket having the most nails has a mass of M = 10.0 kg, and the bucket with the fewest nails has a mass of m = 5.00 kg ▼ Part A m M D As the heavier bucket moves downward, from the starting point shown in the figure, all the way to the ground, what will have been the work done on the lighter bucket by non-conservative forces? Use T for the unknown tension in the rope and give your answer symbolically. Give your answer symbolically. Choose from the symbols T. M, m, D, and g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity acting alone. If the answer is zero, just enter 0. Work on m by nonconservative forces =…
A 2.0 kg object is moving to the right with a speed of 1.0 m/s when it experiences the force shown in the figure. What are the object’s speed and direction after the force ends? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the speed is directed to the right and negative value if the speed is directed to the left.
