Question
Predict/Calculate Illinois Jones is being pulled from a snake pit with a rope that breaks if the tension in it exceeds 755 N. (a) If Illinois Jones has a mass of 70.0 kg and the snake pit is 3.40 m deep, what is the minimum time that is required to pull our intrepid explorer from the pit? (b) Explain why the rope breaks if Jones is pulled from the pit in less time than that calculated in part (a).

The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 2.62 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.250. Assume static friction has been overcome and that everything can slide. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2?

Yet, the apparent weight of an object aboard the space station is roughly zero, i.e. objects float around relative to the space station as if there is no force of gravity. Explain why objects at the space station appear "weightless", in 1 or 2 sentences. We talked about this in lecture. Nothing too complicated about this.arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
