You push a 1.00 kg food tray through the cafeteria line with a constant 9.0 N force. The tray pushes a 0.50 kg milk carton. The tray and carton slide on a horizontal surface so greasy that friction can be ignored. Find the acceleration of the tray and carton and the horizontal force that the tray exerts on the carton.

Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be created or destroyed — only transformed.

A 200-kg log is pulled up a ramp by means of a rope that is parallel to the surface of the ramp. The ramp is inclined at 34.5° with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the log and the ramp is 0.870, and the log has an acceleration of 0.750 m/s2. Find the tension in the rope.
Your physics book is resting in front of you on a horizontal table in the campus library. You push the book over to your friend, who is seated at the other side of the table, 0.400 m north and 0.300 m east of you. If you push the book in a straight line to your friend, friction does -4.8 J of work on the book. If instead you push the book 0.400 m due north and then 0.300 m due east, how much work is done by friction?
While the astronauts are trying to fix the crane, the cable slips off the pulley and the buggy falls to the ground from 5 meters up. What is the net force on the buggy while it is falling? Draw a free body diagram to explain. Also, what is the buggy’s acceleration, and how fast will it be going when it hits the ground?
The crane shown in the figure is lifting a 186-kg crate upward with an acceleration of 4.21 m/s². The cable from the crate passes over a solid cylindrical pulley at the top of the boom. The pulley has a mass of 195 kg. The cable is then wound onto a hollow cylindrical drum that is mounted on the deck of the crane. The mass of the drum is 136 kg, and its radius (the same as that of the pulley) is 0.198 m. The engine applies a counterclockwise torque to the drum in order to wind up the cable. What is the magnitude of this torque? Ignore the mass of the cable. Pulley- Drum Boom Number I Units N-m
A person is pushing two boxes placed side by side with each other. What is the acceleration caused by the applied force if the net force is 107.33 N, the coefficient of kinetic friction of the boxes is 0.043 and the sum of the mass of the boxes is 91.5 kg? Is it possible to have one of the boxes generate an applied force of 123.16 N, if yes, what is the mass of the other box?

A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where m1 = 3.80 kg and m2 = 7.20 kg. The system accelerates with a magnitude of 0.94 m/s2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the masses and the incline is the same for both masses. Assume the pulley is frictionless, and the cord is massless. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) What is the tension (in N) in the cord?
Please explain answers and include work. Please write the explanations and work out to make them easy to follow and understand.
The crane shown in the figure is lifting a 382-kg crate upward with an acceleration of 2.24 m/s². The cable from the crate passes over a solid cylindrical pulley at the top of the boom. The pulley has a mass of 218 kg. The cable is then wound onto a hollow cylindrical drum that is mounted on the deck of the crane. The mass of the drum is 192 kg, and its radius (the same as that of the pulley) is 0.235 m. The engine applies a counterclockwise torque to the drum in order to wind up the cable.
