Figure 9-44 shows an arrangement with an air track, in which a cart is connected by a cord to a hanging block. The cart has mass m1 = 0.600 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (−0.500 m, 0 m); the block has mass m2 = 0.400 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (0, −0.100 m).The mass of the cord and pulley are negligible. The cart is released from rest, and both cart and block move until the cart hits the pulley. The friction between the cart and the air track and between the pulley and its axle is negligible, (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the center of mass of the cart–block system? (b) What is the velocity of the com as a function of time t? (c) Sketch the path taken by the com. (d) If the path is curved, determine whether it bulges upward to the right or downward to the left, and if it is straight, find the angle between it and the x axis.

- A package of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at the top of an inclined plane as seen in the figure. The package starts out at height h = 0.200 m above the top of the table, the table height is H = 2.00 m, and θ = 45.0°. A package of mass m placed on an incline, which is placed on the right side of the horizontal surface of a table. The incline makes an angle of θ with the horizontal surface of the table on which the incline is placed. The height of the incline is shown as h while the height of the table is shown as H. A dotted line indicates that the block slides down the incline and takes a curved route down before it hits the floor. The horizontal distance between the right leg of the table and the point on the ground where the block is expected to fall is shown as R. (a) What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of the package while it slides down the incline? Answer: 6.93m/s^2 (b)What is the speed (in m/s) of the package when it leaves the incline?

- A man is standing on a turntable that is on a frictionless axle. Initially he is stationary. Then a ball of mass m = 1.73 kg is thrown directly into his hand at a speed vo = 6.44 m/s. With his arm outstretched, the distance from his shoulder (at the axis of rotation) is d = 0.71 m and theta = 39.9 degrees. He catches and holds the ball. When he catches the ball, the man's moment of inertia (not including the ball) is Io = 0.99 kg m2.

- In the figure, a man is trying to get his car out of mud on the shoulder of a road. He ties one end of a rope tightly around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 13 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 620 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.24 m from its previous position, and the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)

When the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the bob strikes a cube with mass M = 3.0 kg that is resting on a frictionless table of height h = 0.85 m. d. Determine how far away from the bottom edge of the table, Δx, the cube will strike the floor e. At the location where the cube would have struck the floor, there is now a small cart of mass M = 3.0 kg and negligible height. The cube lands on the cart, and sticks to the cart in a completely *inelastic* collision. Ignore friction. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the cart just after the cube lands on it.arrow_forward
