(c) What is the net force acting on m? (d) What is the net force acting on m,? (e) Write the x-component of Newton's second law for each block. (f) Solve the resulting Figure P4.62 system of two equations and two unknowns, expressing the acceleration a and contact force Pin terms of the masses and force.

The block A with mass of 80 kg slides along the top of the block B with mass of 110 kg. The block A has an acceleration of 3.0 m/s2 when a horizontal force F of 700 N is applied, as in the Figure. There is no friction between the block B and a horizontal frictionless surface, but there is friction between the two blocks. Calculate the acceleration of the block A is going to B during the time that the block A remains in contact.
It may appear at first glance that Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws are independent claims. This, however, is not true - Newton's 3rd law is simply a consequence of Newton's 2nd law. In this problem, you will prove Newton's 3rd law for the normal contact force between two objects, using only Newton's 2nd law. Consider two blocks with masses m₁ and m₂ in contact, with external forces F₁ and F2 applied, as shown in the figure. The free body diagram for each block is also given, with internal forces fa and f, as shown. F₁ F₁ fa fb ΣF = ΣF = m₁ m2 Submit F₂ Complete the equations of motion for the entire system, as well as blocks 1 and 2 individually. Note, the forces have a signed magnitude, where positive values correspond to the positive x-direction ΣF= = (m₁ + m₂) a = m₁ a = m₂ a Use the above equations to write fa in terms of only fr: fa = m₁ You have used 0 of 4 attempts m₂ F₂ Save Calculator

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient Part A of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 28 ° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 58 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 72 N. What answer will you give? Submit Request Answer
Dr. Miller is conducting an experiment. He has a stack of books on a table which is frictionless and flat. He applies a force F on the stack, and finds that it accelerates at 3.0 m/s². He then adds a book to the stack. This is a physics textbook that has a mass of 1.0 kg. He then applies the same force F on the stack and finds that now the stack accelerates at 2.0 m/s². What was the mass of the original stack of books? a) 1.0 kg Ob) 2.0 kg c) 3.0 kg O d) none of the above
A semi is traveling down the highway at a velocity of v = 27.5 m/s. The driver observes a wreck ahead, locks his brakes, and begins to slide. The truck has mass m and a coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road of μk = 0.16. Write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction for the truck while braking? Using the results from Part (a), input an expression for the truck's acceleration, at, while breaking? What is the magnitude of the acceleration in m/s2? How far does the truck travel, d in meters, before stopping?
In the figure here, block 1 of mass 2.2 kg and block 2 of mass 3.4 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at 0 = 23 °. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move. What then is the tension in the string? Number i Unit
A box, initially at rest, is pushed up a ramp that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal as shown in the diagram. The magnitude of the pushing force is 8m newtons, where m is the mass of the box in kilograms. The force is in a direction parallel to and up the ramp. The coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the ramp is 0.25. Model the box as a particle and take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.8 m s−2 . Express the four forces in component form in terms of unknown magnitudes where appropriate and find an expression for the resultant force acting on the box. Hence find the magnitude of the acceleration of the box, in m s−2
