Objects of masses m = 4.00 kg and m, = 9.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in Figure P4.70. The object m, is held at rest on the floor, and m, rests mi on a fixed incline of 0 = 40.0°. The objects are released from rest, and m, slides 1.00 m down the incline in 4.00 s. Determine (a) the acceleration of each object, (b) the tension in the string, and (c) the coefficient of kinetic friction between m, and the incline. m2 Figure P4.70

A wooden ball of weight 196 newtons is dropped vertically from a height of 100 meters above the ground. Throughout the fall, drag is present by a factor 4v due to air resistance, where v is the velocity of the ball at time t (in seconds). After how many seconds will the ball impact the ground? Assume that the net force acting on the ball is modeled by m(dv/dt) = mg – kv, where m is the mass of the ball. Also, assume that there is no initial velocity and that the acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8 meters per second squared. Do not round off intermediate steps. Round off the final answer to two decimal places.
There is a particle with mass m = 2 kg attached to a smooth wire that is positioned horizontally so that the particle can only move freely in the horizontal direction. The particle initially moves with a constant velocity V0, = 7 m/s to the right, which is then pulled by a constant force at an angle that varies with time as shown below. If the function of the angle is θ(t) = 0.2t +0.3, where is calculated in radians and t is in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant force is F = 10 N. then calculate: (Review only for 0.3≤θ≤? ) a. The time it takes for the particle to reach its maximum acceleration! b. The velocity of the particle when the force is exactly on the vertical axis!)
