Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 47P
** You shoot a 0.050-kg arrow into a 0.50-kg wooden cart that sits on a horizontal, frictionless surface at the end of a spring that is attached to the wan at the other end. The arrow hits the cart and sticks into it. The cart and arrow together compress the spring and start the system vibrating at a frequency of 2.0 Hz with a 0.20-m amplitude. How fast was me arrow moving? State any assumptions you made to solve the problem.

as a hiker in glacier national park, you need to keep the bears from getting at your food supply. You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice. Part of the outcropping forms a feta=51.5* slopeup that leads to a verticle cliff. You decide that this is an idea place to hang your food supply out of bear reach. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie a rope to the sack, and then tie a bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 18.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip, so you put 18.5 kg of rocks in the anchor bag to balance it out. what happens when you lower the food bag over the edge and let go of the anchor bag? Determine the acceleration magnitude a of the two-bag system when you let go of the anchor bag?
