Block X of mass M is attached to block Y of mass 2M by a light string that passes over a pulley of negligible friction and mass, as shown above. In which direction will the center of mass (COM) of the two-block system move after it is released from rest, and what is the magnitude of the acceleration a of block X ?
A vehicle applies brakes and skids through a distance equal to 40 m before colliding with another parked vehicle, the weight of which is 60% of the former. From fundamental principles compute the initial speed of moving vehicle, if the distance which both vehicles skid through after the collision, before stopping is 12 m. Assume average friction coefficient as 0.6. Show the various steps in the analysis and mention the assumption made in each step.
Describe a system in which the main forces acting are parallel or antiparallel to the center of mass, and justify your answer.
