Chapter 7, Problem 15CQ

In case a in FIGURE Q7.15, block A is accelerated across a Friction less table by a hanging 10 N weight (1.02 kg). In case b, block A is accelerated across a frictionless table by a steady 10 N tension in the string. The string is massless, and the pulley is massless and frictionless. Is A's acceleration in case b greater than, less than, or equal to its acceleration in case a? Explain.

A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descending elevator. The elevator has a deceleration of 2.4 m/ s2 before coming to a stop. A. If the tension in the cord is 89 N, what is the mass of the lamp? B. What is the tension in the cord when the elevator ascends with an upward acceleration of 2.4 m/ s2 ?

Two blocks are connected via a massless frictionless pully system. The hanging block is 3 kg. The other block is on a ramp of 25◦ and has a mass m. The coefficients of friction between the block on the ramp and the ramp are: µs = .8 and µk = .5. a. What is the minimum mass m that will not slip? b. If the minimum mass is nudged, it will start being pulled up the incline. What will the acceleration be when that happens?

A spacecraft was designed to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. The spacecraft was launched on a rocket. At launch, the rocket has a mass of 555,000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. A. If you were to neglect the effect of gravity, what would the intial acceleration of the rocket be? B. If the acceleration were to remain constant, how fast will the rocket be moving after two seconds? C. As the rocket burns fuel its mass decreases. If the thrust remains the same, how would your answer to part B change? Would the speed after two seconds be lower, the same or higher?
