A block with mass m1 hangs from a rope that is extended over an ideal pulley and attached to a second block with mass m2 that sits on a ledge slanted at an angle of 20 (Fig. P5.49). Suppose the system of blocks is initially motionless and held still, and then it is released. If m1 = 7.00 kg and m2 = 2.00 kg, find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, assuming there is no friction between the second block and the ledge. FIGURE P5.49 Problems 49 and 50.

Which of the following statements is correct? a. The greater the mass of rocket fuel burned, and hence the greater the mass of exhaust experiencing a downwards force away from the rocket, the greater the upward thrust experienced by the rocket. b. The reaction force on the rocket is equal in magnitude, and in the opposite direction to, the action (or thrust) from the engine on the exhaust. c. For a rocket to launch, the thrust force has to be greater than the gravitational force d. The acceleration of the rocket is dependent on the thrust but independent of the mass of the rocket e. Once a rocket has distanced itself from the Earth, reaching space, even tiny thrusts will cause the rocket to change is velocity.
