A cart of mass 0.85 kg is on a track, connected by a string over a pulley to a hanging mass of 0.1 kg. A friction pad is attached to the bottom of the cart, and you push the cart so that it first moves toward the sensor, then away from the motion sensor.
Two blocks are suspended from opposite ends of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. One block has mass m1 and the other has mass m2, where m2 > m1. The two blocks are released from rest, and the block with mass m2 moves downward 5.00 m in 2.00 s after being released. While the blocks are moving, the tension in the rope is 16.0 N. Calculate m1 and m2.
The two masses in the figure are released from rest. After the 5.0 kg mass has fallen 1.5 m, it is
moving with a speed of 4.5 m/s. What is coefficient of friction between the table and the 2.0 kg
mass?

- A rope is attached to an object with mass 8.5-kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes over a pulley, and a block with mass 5 kg is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 11.6 newtons. What is the acceleration of either block? The pulley is frictionless and massless.arrow_forwardTwo people are pushing a stalled car, as the figure indicates. The mass of the car is 1850 kg. One person applies a force of 275 N to the car, while the other applies a force of 395 N. Both forces act in the same direction. A third force of 560 N also acts on the car, but in a direction opposite to that in which the people are pushing. This force arises because of friction and the extent to which the pavement opposes the motion of the tires. Find the acceleration of the car.arrow_forwardTwo boxes have masses m, = 12.0 kg and m2 = 15.0 kg and are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley.
