An object of mass m1 hangs from a string that passes over a very light fixed pulley P1 as shown in Figure P5.25. The string connects to a second very light pulley P2. A second string passes around this pulley with one end attached to a wall and the other to an object of mass m2 on a frictionless, horizontal table. (a) If a1 and a2 are the accelerations of m1 and m2, respectively, what is the relation between these accelerations? Find expressions for (b) the tensions in the strings and (c) the accelerations a1 and a2 in terms of the masses m1 and m2 and g.

If the spider has a mass of 1.5 g, what is the tension in the web?arrow_forwardAn object of mass m1 hangs from a string that passes over a very light fixed pulley P1 as shown in Figure P5.25.

There is friction between the block and the ramp, the coefficient of static friction is 0.17. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The pulleys are massless and frictionless.

- MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER You have landed on an alien planet and because you have nothing better to do with your time, you have decided to do a physics experiment with a block. Your experiment is shown above. A 60 kg block on a horizontal surface is attached to a rope. The normal force on the block is 378 N. The block is moving to the right, k = 0.6, & the acceleration of the block is 5.22 m/s² to the right. Determine g (the free fall acceleration on this planet) & the tension in the rope. g = FT =arrow_forwardDavid throws a 50 kg cart down a ramp with an initial speed of vi = 6 m/s. The ramp is at an angle of 20◦, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cart and the ramp is µk = 0.25. Additionally, the coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.55. How much time does it take to reach Ryan who is 10 m away? Assume that the cart slides and doesn’t roll.arrow_forwardA 129 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is ls = 0.23. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s?) of the crate?arrow_forward

The coefficient of friction between the sled and the hill is 0.29. The acceleration of the crate (in m/s²) is:arrow_forwardTwo ropes are attached to a 40 kg object. The rope with a 50 N force points along a direction 43 degrees from the positive x-axis, and the other rope with a 50 N force points along a direction 160 degrees.

The pulley is massless and frictionless. An upward force of magnitude F = 6.4 N acts on the corned beef tin, which has a downward acceleration of 4.7 m/s2.

- Question #1: A unicorn running on a beach at 7 m/s changes speed at a constant rate of 3.6 m/s2 over a period of 3 seconds. What distance did the unicorn travel during this process? Question #2: 60-kg woman in an elevator is accelerating downward at a rate of 1.2 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the elevator floor on the woman's feet? Question #3: Two people play tug of war. The 100-kg person on the left pulls with 1,200 N, and the 70-kg person on the right pulls with 800 N. Assume that neither person releases their grip on the rope with either hand at any time, assume that the rope is always taut, and assume that the rope does not stretch. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope in Newtons? Question #4: A man pulls a 14-kg sled 44 meters along an angled hill with a force of 95 N, which elevates the man 30 meters above the bottom of the hill. The man then hops on his sled and slides to the bottom of the hill back along his 44 meter path, during which a 296 N…arrow_forwardA man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object. If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s? If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?arrow_forwardDetermine the force Q-> when the block moves with constant velocity.
