A In a classic laboratory experiment, a cart of mass m1 on a horizontal air track is attached via a string over an ideal pulley to a hanging cylinder of mass m2. The system is released from rest, and the motion is measured. Find the speed of the cart after the cylinder has descended a distance H.
Latoya, sitting on a sled, is being pushed by Dewain on the horizontal surface of a frozen lake. Dewain slips and falls, giving the sled one final push, and the sled comes to rest 9.50 s later. The speed of the sled after the final push is 4.00 m/s, and the combined mass of the sled and Latoya is 32.5 kg. Using a momentum approach, determine the magnitude of the average friction force acting on the sled during this interval.
