A 500 g steel block rotates on a steel table while attached to a 2.0 m long massless rod. Compressed air fed through the rod is ejected from a nozzle on the back of the block exerting a thrust force of 3.4 N. The nozzle is 70 degrees from the radial line. What is the block's angular velocity after 10 rev? What is the tension in the rod after 10 rev?
A 1.5 kg block is connected by a rope across a 50-cm-diameter, 2.0 kg pulley, as shown. There is no friction in the axle, but there is friction between the rope and the pulley; the rope doesn’t slip. The weight is accelerating upward at 1.2 m/s2. What is the tension in the rope on the right side of the pulley?

A 1260 -kgkg car is pushing an out-of-gear 2200 -kgkg truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push horizontally against the ground with a force of 4460 NN . The rolling friction of the car can be neglected, but the heavier truck has a rolling friction of 765 NN , including the "friction" of turning the truck's drivetrain. What is the magnitude of the force the car applies to the truck? What is the magnitude FConTFConT of the force that the car exerts on the truck? Use the coordinate system shown in Part B, where upward is the positive y direction and to the right, the direction F⃗ ConTF→ConT points, is the positive x direction. Express your answer in newtons to three significant figures. The answer is NOT 3695 3190
