Two blocks, A and B (with mass 45 kg and 120 kg, respectively), are connected by a string, as shown in the figure below. The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is μk = 0.26. Determine the change in the kinetic
energy of block A as it moves from to ①, a distance of 15 m up the incline (and block B drops downward a distance of 15 m) if the system starts from rest.

A skateboarder with his board can be modeled as a particle of mass 80.0 kg, located at his center of mass. As shown in the figure below, the skateboarder starts from rest in a crouching position at one lip of a half-pipe (point). On his descent, the skateboarder moves without friction so
that his center of mass moves through one quarter of a circle of radius 6.20 m.
i
(a) Find his speed at the bottom of the half-pipe (point Ⓡ).
m/s
(b) Immediately after passing point Ⓑ, he stands up and raises his arms, lifting his center of mass and essentially "pumping" energy into the system. Next, the skateboarder glides upward with his center of mass moving in a quarter circle of radius 5.71 m, reaching point D. As he
passes through point ①, the speed of the skateboarder is 5.37 m/s. How much chemical potential energy in the body of the skateboarder was converted to mechanical energy when he stood up at point Ⓑ?

(c) How high above point ① does he rise?

A 31.0-kg child on a 3.00-m-long swing is released from rest when the ropes of the swing make an angle of 29.0° with the vertical.
(a) Neglecting friction, find the child's speed at the lowest position.
m/s
(b) If the actual speed of the child at the lowest position is 2.40 m/s, what is the mechanical energy lost due to friction?

- File Preview Design a capacitor for a special purpose. After graduating from medical school you and a friend take a three hour cruise to celebrate and end up stranded on an island. While looking for food, a spider falls on your friend giving them a heart attack. Recalling your physics, you realize you can build a make-shift defibrillator by constructing a capacitor from materials on the boat and charging it using the boat's battery. You know that the capacitor must hold 100 J of energy and be at 1000 V (fortunately this is an electric boat which has batteries that are 1000 V) to work. You decide to construct the capacitor by tightly sandwiching a single layer of Saran wrap between sheets of aluminum foil. You read the Saran wrap box and fortunately they tell you that it has a thickness 0.01 mm and dielectric constant of 2.3. The Saran wrap and foil are 40 cm wide and very long. How long is the final capacitor you build that saves your friend?arrow_forwardHow do I plot the force F in Matlba (of gravity pulling on the masses) versus spring displacement, and fit the data with a linear function to find the value for the spring constant.
