Two blocks, A and B (with mass 45 kg and 120 kg, respectively), are connected by a string, as shown in the figure below. The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is μk = 0.26. Determine the change in the kinetic
energy of block A as it moves from to ①, a distance of 15 m up the incline (and block B drops downward a distance of 15 m) if the system starts from rest.

After graduating from medical school you and a friend take a three hour cruise to celebrate and end up stranded on an island. While looking for food, a spider falls on your friend giving them a heart attack. Recalling your physics, you realize you can build a make-shift defibrillator by constructing a capacitor from materials on the boat and charging it using the boat's battery. You know that the capacitor must hold 100 J of energy and be at 1000 V (fortunately this is an electric boat which has batteries that are 1000 V) to work. You decide to construct the capacitor by tightly sandwiching a single layer of Saran wrap between sheets of aluminum foil. You read the Saran wrap box and fortunately they tell you that it has a thickness 0.01 mm and dielectric constant of 2.3. The Saran wrap and foil are 40 cm wide and very long. How long is the final capacitor you build that saves your friend?arrow_forward
