A small box of mass m, moving at speed v, slides on top of a larger box of mass M which rests on the frictionless ground. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the large box and the small box is µ. Assuming the large box is wide enough to keep the small box from falling off, the interaction between these two boxes will bring them both to the same final speed vf.

A hockey player with a mass of M = 72 kg, standing on ice, pushes a plate with a mass of m = 0.5 kg in a horizontal direction at a speed of v = 30 m / s, which causes him to start moving in the opposite direction. After how long it stops if the coefficient of friction between the skates and the iceis kt = 0.02 and by how much does it move?
A particle of mass 2.4 kg is subject to a force that is always pointed towards the North but whose magnitude changes quadratically with time. Let the y-axis point towards the North. The magnitude of the force is given as F = 6t2, and has units of newtons Determine the change in velocity Δv, in meters per second, of the particle between t=0 and t=1.3s. Determine the change in y coordinate, in meters, of the particle Δ y betweent=o and t=1.3 if the initial velocity= 15.9 m/s and directed North, in the same direction as the force.
A block of mass m = 3.5 kg, initially moving at a speed of v_{1} = 12m / s to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface, is acted on by a variable horizontal force F as follows: For the first 10 s, F = 10N to the right; for the next 5 <= F =25* to the left; and for the last 8 <= F = 15N to right. Find the velocity of the block at the end of the 23-s interval.
The two masses in the Atwood's machine shown in the figure have an initial speed of v = 0.15 m/s , and m2 is moving upward.How high does m2 rise above its initial position before momentarily coming to rest, given that m1 = 3.3 kg and m2 = 4.4 kg?
A tar road is heated by the sun and therefore the coefficient of friction changes as µ(kinetic)=b*t^5. An object of mass m is at t=0 with velocity V(0) and in the +x direction.Find how far (b, m, g, V(0)) the object will travel from t=0 to stop?Hint given in the figure
An ice skater with mass = mi goes skating while carrying a bag of sand with initial mass = m0 . At one point, she gives herself a constant initial velocity v0 , and then slowly pours the sand out of the bag at a constant rate κ. Is she speeding up or slowing down? Write out an expression for the velocity as a function of time. How long does it take for her velocity to change by a factor of 2? Your answer can include mi, m0, v0, and κ.
How much force is needed to make a rocket move in constant velocity in a frictionless outer space?
Two figure skaters are coasting in the same direction, with the leading skater moving at 6.5 m/s and the trailing skating moving at 8.2 m/s. When the trailing skater catches up with the leading skater, he picks her up without applying any horizontal forces on his skates. If the trailing skater is 50% heavier than the 50-kg leading skater, what is their speed after he picks her up?
A 6100 kg rocket is set for vertical firing from the ground. If the exhaust speed is 1200 m/s, how much gas must be ejected each second if the thrust (a) is to equal the magnitude of the gravitational force on the rocket and (b) is to give the rocket an initial upward acceleration of 21 m/s2?
A block of mass m1 = 15.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.29) a distance d = 2.65 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 5.25 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 9.25 m/s. What is the speed of m1, in m/s, right before it collides with m2? Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s?
Consider two rigid objects whose masses are mA and mB. Their initial velocities are vAi and vBi. What is the final velocity of object A, vAf, in terms of mA , mB , vAi , and vBi ? Hint: A good starting point is these two equations: mA vAi + mB vBi = mA vAf + mB vBf , and 0.5 ( mA vAi2 + mB vBi2 ) = 0.5 ( mA vAf 2 + mB vBf 2 ) , where vBf is the final velocity of object b. 2.What is vAf in the limit of mA / mB à 0? 3.What is vAf in the limit of mB / mA à 0? 4.Show that vAi + vAf = vBi + vBf .
In this problem, we assume that the motion is taking place on a frictionless surface.Let us consider two balls A and B having the same masse. Initially, the ball B is at rest and the ball A is moving with the speed ?? = 3.00 ?/? in the +? direction as seen in the figure.After the ball A hits (or collides with) the ball B, they are both observed to move off at 45° to the x axis,ball A above the x axis and ball B below. So ?′A= 45° and ?′B = −45°.1- What are the speeds of the two balls ?⃗′A and ?⃗′B after the collision?
