A m1 = 5.01-kg block is placed on top of a m2 = 10.0-kg block (figure). horizontal force of F = 45.0 N is applied to the 10.0-kg block, and the 5.01-kg block is tied to the wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all moving surfaces is 0.182.
(a)Draw a free-body diagram for each block and identify the action–reaction forces between the blocks.
(b) Determine the tension in the string in magnitude of newtons.
(c) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the 10.0-kg block.

- (Questions 16-18) A 25 kg box is at the bottom of a frictionless incline that is 7 m long as shown and makes an angle of 20 degrees with the horizontal. A person applies a constant horizontal (NOT parallel to the incline, but horizontal) force to the box, starting from rest. It reaches the top of the ramp in 13 seconds. 16. Draw a free-body diagram of this situation showing all forces on the box. 17. What was the magnitude of the box's acceleration during this process? 18.

- In the figure here, a box of Cheerios (mass mc = 1.70 kg) and a box of Wheaties (mass mw = 2.60 kg) are accelerated across a horizontal surface by a horizontal force applied to the Cheerios box. The magnitude of the frictional force on the Cheerios box is 2.10 N, and the magnitude of the frictional force on the Wheaties box is 4.60 N. If the magnitude of F is 12.7 N, what is the magnitude of the force on the Wheaties box from the Cheerios box?

The coefficient of static friction is 0.1 and the coefficient of the the kinetic friction is 0.03. What is the minimum force (in N) he must exert to get the block moving?arrow_forwardIn the figure here, block 1 of mass 2.2 kg and block 2 of mass 3.4 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at 0 = 23 °. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move. What then is the tension in the string? Number i Unitarrow_forward
- A car traveling at 27.2 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 65.0 kg, moves forward a distance of 57.0 cm while being brought to rest by an inflated air bag. Assuming that the force that stops the passenger is constant, what is the magnitude F of this force?arrow_forwardTwo blocks of masses m1 and m2 (m1 > m2) are placed on a frictionless table in contact with each other. A horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to the block of mass m1 in Figure. (a) If P is the magnitude of the contact force between the blocks, draw the free-body diagrams for each block. (b) What is the net force on the system consisting of both blocks? (c) What is the net force acting on m1? (d) What is the net force acting on m2? (e) Write the xcomponent of Newton’s second law for each block. (f) Solve the resulting system of two equations and two unknowns, expressing the acceleration a and contact force P in terms of the masses and force.
