The figure shows an arrangement with an air track, in which a cart is connected by a cord to a hanging block. The cart has mass m =0.540 kg, and its center is initially at xy coordinates (- 0.330 m, 0 m); the block has mass m2 = 0.320 kg, and its center is initially at xycoordinates (0, – 0.140 m). The mass of the cord and pulley are negligible. The cart is released from rest, and both cart and block moveuntil the cart hits the pulley. The friction between the cart and the air track and between the pulley and its axle is negligible. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the center of mass of the cart-block system? (b) What is the velocity of the com as afunction of time t, in unit-vector notation?

A car with mass mc=1270kg is traveling west through an intersection with a speed of vc=14.41m/s when a truck of mass mt=1740kg traveling south at vt=6.63m/s fails to yield. The vehicles collide, they stick together, and they slide on the asphalt which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of μk=0.500. Associate the positive x direction with east and the positive y direction with north. a.

Consider a system composed of three masses connected by light rigid rods. The first mass (m1 = 3.00 kg) is positioned 2.75 meters along the y-axis. The second mass (m2 = 4.00 kg) is situated 2.50 meters along the x-axis. The third mass (m3 = 2.50 kg) is located at the coordinates (-4.00, -3.30) meters. This third mass is connected to the first and second masses such that the system's center of mass is at the origin. The entire system rotates around the origin. A constant force with a magnitude of 2.9 N is applied to the left on (m1), and a force of 9.7 N is applied downwards on (m2).

A pendulum of length L = 1.0 meter and bob of mass m = 1.0 kg is released from rest at an angle θ = 30 degrees. When the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the bob strikes a cube with mass M = 3.0 kg that is resting on a frictionless table of height h = 0.85 m. d. Determine how far away from the bottom edge of the table, Δx, the cube will strike the floor e. At the location where the cube would have struck the floor, there is now a small cart of mass M = 3.0 kg and negligible height. The cube lands on the cart, and sticks to the cart in a completely *inelastic* collision. Ignore friction. Calculate the horizontal velocity of the cart just after the cube lands on it.
