A body weighing 445 N is drawn along a rough surface. The force applied in the direction of motion is 135 N while the frictional force is 90 N. if there is an air resistance whose magnitude (in N) is equal to twice the velocity (m/s) at any instant, assume the body to start from rest.Determine the displacement at any time, t.
What allows us to make the determination that the boxes arent moving at the same velocity after being released from rest? It seems to me we would base this off of each boxes resistance to friction, but in this problem they are moving on a smooth surface. And then in this problem, we consider the boxes to move at the same velocities after the spring is released? Please explain how we can make this judgement. This is the problem: The two blocks A and B each have a mass of 5 kg and are suspended from parallel cords. A spring, having a stiffness of k=60 N/m is attached to B and is compressed 0.3 m against A and B as shown. Determine the maximum angles θ\thetaθ and ϕ\phiϕ of the cords when the blocks are releasedfrom rest and the spring becomes unstretched.

The spring constants are k1 = 140N / m, k2 = 240N / m and the unstretched lengths of the springs are 0.3 m. If the 6 kg ring is released from rest from point A, calculate its velocity when it reaches point B.

The 4-lb collar is compressed against a spring a distance of 6 inches and then releasedfrom rest. The spring can be considered elastic and has a constant of k = 10 lb/in. Thespring is not adhered to the collar, and can be considered massless, so it will notextend into tension. Plot the acceleration of the collar as a function of x for x = 0 to 7 inches.What is the velocity as the collar leaves the spring?
Two weights of 96 pounds and 64 pounds move horizontally on a surface smooth, each spring has k = k1 = k2 = 600.
