Given that the velocity of cable A is vA = 2.5 m/s downward and that the velocity ofPusheen at C, vC is 0.5 m/s downward, determine the velocity of Pusheen at position B (vB)and pulley D (vD).
4. Two blocks with the same mass are connected to a compressed
spring at opposite ends. At first, the spring and blocks slide at the
same velocity v on a frictionless surface to the right. The spring is
released and at some later instant the left block is moving at v/2 to
the left and the other block is moving to the right. What the speed of
the center of mass of the system at that instant?
(A) 5v/2
(B) 3v/2
(C) v
(D) v/2
For letter D. Can you directly subtract Vc-Vb to get the relative velocity even though Vc is moving vertically and Vb is moving horizontally?

As shown, two dump trucks are connected by a cable. One truck (Truck 1) is loaded, has a maximum engine power P , and is able to attain a maximum speed of v. Another truck (Truck 2) has a maximum engine power 2P and can attain a maximum speed of 1.5v. To solve this problem, assume that each truck, when not attached to the other truck, has a speed that is limited only by wind resistance. Also assume the following: The wind resistance is a constant force (although a different constant for each truck). Therefore, it is independent of a truck’s speed. The wind resistance force on each truck is the same before and after the cable is connected. The power that a truck's engine can generate is independent of that truck's speed. Find vmax, the maximum speed of the two trucks when they are connected. Assume that both engines are running at maximum power.
