**Physics Problem: Two-Block System with Friction***Problem Statement:*Two blocks with masses \( m_1 = 4.90 \, \text{kg} \) and \( m_2 = 7.20 \, \text{kg} \) are connected by a light string, as depicted in the figure below. Mass \( m_2 \) is descending and mass \( m_1 \) is moving to the right across a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction \( \mu_k = 0.125 \).![Diagram of Two-Block System](#)- The figure shows a block \( m_1 \) on a horizontal surface connected by a string over a pulley to a hanging block \( m_2 \).- The horizontal surface on which \( m_1 \) is moving has friction due to the coefficient of kinetic friction \( \mu_k \).*Objective:*Determine the acceleration \( a \) of \( m_1 \) and the magnitude \( T \) of the tension in the string.*Equations and Steps to Solve:*1. **For \( m_1 \) (on the horizontal surface):** The forces acting on \( m_1 \) are: - Tension in the string, \( T \), to the right. - Kinetic friction force, \( f_k = \mu_k \cdot m_1 \cdot g \), to the left. Newton’s Second Law for \( m_1 \): \[ T - f_k = m_1 \cdot a \] \[ T - \mu_k \cdot m_1 \cdot g = m_1 \cdot a \]2. **For \( m_2 \) (hanging block):** The forces acting on \( m_2 \) are: - Gravitational force, \( m_2 \cdot g \), downward. - Tension in the string, \( T \), upward. Newton’s Second Law for \( m_2 \): \[ m_2 \cdot g - T = m_2 \cdot a \]3. **Solve the System of Equations:** Combine the equations to solve for \( a \) and \( T \): \[ T = m_1 \cdot a + \

Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed of a satellite in an orbit 900 km above Earth’s surface. (b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite’s orbit at an angle of 90 .

(c) If its mass is 0.500 g, and it comes to rest inside the satellite, how much energy in joules is generated by the collision? (Assume the satellite’s velocity does not change appreciably, because it mass is much greater than the rivets’s.)
QUESTION 4 Problem A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression: a Fnew + Be* + 3x where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole.

An electron has an initial velocity of 3.6x104 m/s to the right. It then travels through a potential difference, which speeds the electron up to a velocity of 8.1x104 m/s to the right. a) Since the particle was traveling to the right, and sped up, what was the direction of the acceleration of the electron, left or right? b) What then must have been the direction of the force on the electron? c) And then what must have been the direction of the electric field in that area? d) Given that you know the electric field has to point from high potential to low potential, is the electron traveling from a low to a high potential, or is it traveling from a high to a low potential? e) Does that make the potential difference (the change in potential) positive, or negative?

Native people throughout North and South America used a bola to hunt for birds and animals. A bola can consist of three stones, each with mass m, at the ends of three light cords, each with length . The other ends of the cords are tied together to form a Y. The hunter holds one stone and swings the other two above his head (Figure P11.41a, page 308). Both these stones move together in a horizontal circle of radius 2 with speed v0. At a moment when the horizontal component of their velocity is directed toward the quarry, the hunter releases the stone in his hand. As the bola flies through the air, the cords quickly take a stable arrangement with constant 120-degree angles between them (Fig. P11.41b). In the vertical direction, the bola is in free fall. Gravitational forces exerted by the Earth make the junction of the cords move with the downward acceleration g. You may ignore the vertical motion as you proceed to describe the horizontal motion of the bola. In terms of m, , and v0, calculate (a) the magnitude of the momentum of the bola at the moment of release and, after release, (b) the horizontal speed of the center of mass of the bola, and (c) the angular momentum of the bola about its center of mass. (d) Find the angular speed of the bola about its center of mass after it has settled into its Y shape. Calculate the kinetic energy of the bola (e) at the instant of release and (f) in its stable Y shape. (g) Explain how the conservation laws apply to the bola as its configuration changes. Robert Beichner suggested the idea for this problem. Figure P11.41
