- 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. There is kinetic friction between the table and mass m1. When the masses are released, m, accelerates to the right at + 2.40 m/s², and m2 accelerates down at- 2.40 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction between m, and the table? my my {Consider Newton's Laws and the forces/components (+/-) on each mass} O 90.5 N O 69.1 N O 47.6 N O 82.2 N O 77.3 N K B comm andarrow_forward
- A robot with fancy wheels is trained to move in two directions simultaneously. The force in the forward direction is 10 N and the force in the horizontal direction is 8 N. If the robot starts from rest, has a mass of 75 kg and travels for 100 seconds, what is the magnitude of the robot's final displacement?arrow_forwardScientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, this gun accelerates a 7.6-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 5.1 × 103 m/s. The net force accelerating the projectile is 6.4 × 105 N. How much time is required for the projectile to come up to speed?arrow_forwardAkash and Beth are on skateboards. Beth and her skateboard have a combined mass of 62 kg. Akash and his skateboard have a combined mass of 150 kg. Beth pushes Akash to the left with a force of 120N. Assume no friction. What are the accelerations of Beth (+ skateboard) and Akash (+ skateboard)?arrow_forward
- Blocks with masses of 1.2 kg, 2.4 kg, and 3.0 kg are lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a 14 N force applied to the 1.2 kg block. How much force does the 2.4 kg block exert on (a) the 3.0 kg block and (b) the 1.2 kg block?arrow_forwardBlocks with masses of 3.0kg, 4.0 kg, and 5.0 kg are lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a 13 N force applied to the 3.0 kg block. How much force does the 4.0 kg block exert on the 5.0 kg block? Express your answer with the appropriate units. How much force does the 4.0 kg block exert on the 3.0 kg block? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardThree blocks with masses 6 kg, 9 kg, and 10 kg are connected as shown below. The coefficient of friction between the table and the 10 kg block is 0.20. Find (a) the acceleration of the system and (b) the tension in the cord on the left and in the cord on the right.arrow_forward
- Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force Fpull = 3535 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller-conveyor system. The group of boxes accelerates at 1.648 m/s² to the right. Between each adjacent pair of boxes is a force meter that measures the magnitude of the tension in the connecting rope. Between the box of mass m₁ and the box of mass m₂, the force meter reads F12 = 1376 N. Between the box of mass m₂ and the box of mass m3, the force meter reads F23 = 2241 N. Assume that the ropes and force meters are massless. Mtotal = m₁ What is the total mass of the three boxes? m₁ = FRAGILE What is the mass of each box? m3 = F12 m₂ FRAGILE kg kg kg F 23 m₂ = m3 FRAGILE F pull kgarrow_forwardA 19.62 N block moving along a horizontal surface at 10 m/s is acted upon by a 5 N force of friction. The time required to bring the block to rest is approximately? The correct answer is 4 seconds.arrow_forwardA 50.0 kg girl and a 100 kg boy, stand on a frictionless frozen lake at a distance 6.0 m apart. They each hold the end of a massless rope. The boy pulls on the rope with a force of 120 N and continues to exert this force until the two meet. The girl holds onto her end of the rope at all times. With what force does the girl pull on the boy? The acceleration of the boy is How far will the girl have traveled when they meet?arrow_forward
