1. The figure below shows a cord attached to a cart that can slide along a frictionless horizontal rail aligned along an x axis. The left end of the cord is pulled over a pulley, of negligible mass and friction and at cord height h = 1.20 m, so the cart slides from x1 = 3.00 m to x2 = 1.00 m. During the move, the tension in the cord is a constant 25.0 N. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the cart during the move? Tensions T1 and T2 are equal in magnitude, but try both ways to solve the problem: (a) T1 pulls the cord and the cart together. (b) T2 pulls the cart only. Both ways should lead to the same answer.

You are driving through the Ouachita Mountains at 12m/s. You see a maple-leaf oak (Quercus acerifolia) crossing the road and hit the brakes, 20m away. The coefficient of kinetic friction between your tires and the road is μ_k = 0.7. Will you strike this endangered broadleaf? Justify your answer with a calculation.Your final answer should be the distance you will travel before coming to a stop.
The engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less. The retarding force that the water exerts on the hull of the ship can be neglected. a) The equation of motion that corresponds to the horizontal component is? b)The acceleration of the ship is equal to? c) If the reef does not exist, the vessel, before stopping, travels what distance?

A bicyclist of mass 68 kgkg (including the bicycle) can coast down a 6.1 ∘∘ hill at a steady speed of 6.0 km/hkm/h because of air resistance.

On the top of an 80 m tall building, there is a spring of 100 N/M were located 6.22 m away from the edge. Meanwhile, you are riding a crate which has negligible mass. You then compress the spring for about 0.87 m. Using your own mass, calculate how far you’ll go if the surface has a coefficient of kinetic friction of magnitude 0.3? Please answer correctly, comprehensively, and completely. As based on experience, some expert answers were wrong. Thank you.
A 25.0 kg box of textbooks rests on a loading ramp that makes an angle αα with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.250, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.350.
