1. A student ties two rocks together with a lightweight 48.0 cm string. She takes a second string of length 30.0 cm and ties it to one of the rocks. She then swings the rocks around in a horizontal circle with that second, inner string. The inner rock has a mass of 84.0 g and the outer rock has a mass of 60.0 g. Her friend times the motion with a stopwatch as the rocks move together at a constant speed. They complete 10 revolutions in 13.8 s. Find the tension force exerted by each string as the rocks are moving at a constant speed. Top view 48.0 cm 30.0 cm mi m2

The motion of a human body through space can be modeled as the motion of a particle at the bodys center of mass as we will study in Chapter 9. The components of the displacement of an athletes center of mass from the beginning to the end of a certain jump are described by the equations xj = 0 + (11.2 m/s) (cos 18.5)t 0.360 m = 0.840 m + (11.2 m/s)(sin 18.5)t - 12(9.80 m/s2)t2 where t is in seconds and is the time at which the athlete ends the jump. Identify (a) the athletes position and (b) his vector velocity at the takeoff point. (c) How far did he jump?
An object of mass m is suspended from the top of a cart by a string of length L as in Figure P5.88a. The cart and object are initially moving to the right at a constant speed 0. The cart comes to rest after colliding and sticking to a bumper, as in Figure P5.88b, and the suspended object swings through an angle . (a) Show that the initial speed is 0=2gL(1cos). (b) If L = 1.20 m and = 35.0, find the initial speed of the cart (Hint: The force exerted by the string on the object docs no work on the object.) Figure P5.88a

A truck is moving with constant acceleration a up a hill that makes an angle ϕ with the horizontal as in Figure P6.51. A small sphere of mass m is suspended from the ceiling of the truck by a light cord. If the pendulum makes a constant angle theta with the perpendicular to the ceiling, what is a?
To promote his new single “Itaktak Mo”, Joe decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept allairwaves and play his song worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount his 100 [kg] satellite onto a 750 [kg]rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launch pad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2].When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after,due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. A. What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launch pad? B. How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launchpad? C. How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?
1.a. Two boxes with masses m1=1 kg and m2= 2 kg are connected by a cord running over a pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the first box and the table is 0.20. Neglect the mass of the cord and the pulley, and any friction in the pulley. What is the acceleration of the system? b. What is the velocity obtained by the acceleration found in the previous part?
A 1.03 kg block B is moving with a speed of 3.5 m/s as it strikes the 0.56 kg sphere A which was at rest. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is μ = 0.25 and the speed of the sphere was 1.24 m/s immediately after impact, compute the time (s) it takes for the block to stop. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.
