Two penguins, Wheezy and Mumble, are racing down an icy slope into the water below. Wheezy has a mass of 22 kg. Mumble has a mass of 25 kg. The slope is angled at eight degrees to the horizontal. They both start from the same position at the same time, and slide down the icy slope entirely due to gravity alone. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.12 between the penguins and the ice. Who wins the race and what is the winner's acceleration when they reach the finish line

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. The second block is also connected to a third block with mass m3 by a second rope that hangs over a second ideal pulley as shown in the figure below. If the friction between the ledge and the second block is negligible,m1 = 2.00 kg, m2 = 5.80 kg,and m3 = 8.20 kg, find the magnitude of the tension in each rope and the acceleration of each block. (Enter the magnitude.) a=?m/s^2. T12=?N.T23=?N.
two long barges are moving in the same direction in still water, one with a speed of 10 km/h and the other with a speed of 20 km/h.While they are passing each other, coal is shoveled from the slower to the faster one at a rate of 1000 kg/min. How much additional force must be provided by the driving engines of (a) the faster barge and (b) the slower barge if neither is to change speed? Assume that the shoveling is always perfectly sideways and that the frictional forces between the barges and the water do not depend on the mass of the barges
Blocks A, B, and C are placed as shown in the figure and connected by ropes of negligible mass through the pulleys of neglible mass and friction. Both blocks A and B have mass mA=mB= 2.5 kg each while the mass of block C is mC= 6.5kg . The coefficient of kinetic friction between blocks A and B and the surface is μk= 0.4. Initially, the system is at rest. Once released, the blocks move rightward, Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the system. Find the magnitude of the tension in the cord connecting blocks A and B. How far does block A move in the first 0.5 s (assuming it does not reach the pulley)?
Imagine 4 objects made of the same material but with different masses. All systems have the same coefficient of static friction μs. Rank in order from smallest to largest: the minimum applied force required to make the objects move if their masses are: Object 1 = m/2 Object 2 = m Object 3 = 2m Object 4 = 4m imagine three objects with the same coefficient of kinetic friction but each having a different mass. We’re going to push each object with a known force F. Rank the velocity of the objects, from smallest to greatest, after we apply the force F for 4 seconds Now think about a robot pushing an object across a horizontal surface without friction and draw graphs for Force, acceleration, velocity, and position all vs. time for both situations. Now think about a robot pushing an object across a horizontal surface with friction and draw graphs for Force, acceleration, velocity, and position all vs. time for both situations.
A 1.2 kg ball is falling in the -y direction at a speed of 25 m/s. The ball strikes the floor and then rebounds with a speed of 10 m/s.

A hockey puck slides with constant velocity, from point “a” to point “b” along a frictionless horizontal surface. When the puck reaches point “b”, it receives a instantaneous horizontal “kick “ in the direction as depicted by the heavy arrow. a) The main forces acting, after the “kick”, on the puck along the path you have chosen are: a.) The constant downward force due to gravity and the effect of air pressure. b.) The downward force of gravity and the horizontal force of momentum in the direction of motion. c.) The downward force of gravity and an upward force exerted on the puck by the table. d.)Gravity does not exert a force on the puck; it falls because of the intrinsic tendency of the object to fall to its natural place.

A baseball of mass m1 = 0.27 kg is thrown at another ball hanging from the ceiling by a length of string L = 1.05 m. The second ball m2 = 0.77 kg is initially at rest while the baseball has an initial horizontal velocity of V1 = 3.5 m/s.

The figure below shows two boxes connected to each other by a light cord that passes over a pulley with negligible friction. The box of mass m1 = 3.80 kg lies on a horizontal table with negligible friction, while the box of mass m2 = 10.3 kg hangs vertically. Two boxes labeled m1 and m2 are attached together by a cord. Box m1 lies on a horizontal table with the cord extending horizontally from its right side. The cord extends horizontally from the right side of m1 then goes over a pulley and then straight down to m2. Box m2 hangs from the cord. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each box (in m/s2)? (Here, a1 is the acceleration of m1, and a2 is the acceleration of m2.) a1 = m/s2 a2 = m/s2 (b) What is the tension in the cord (in N)? N
Which one of the following statement is true: a. The center of mass of an object must lie within the object. b. The center of mass of an object cannot move if the net force exerted on the object is zero. c. All the mass of an object is actually concentrated at its center of mass. d. The center of mass of an object must lie outside the object. e. None of the above. ANS: e Can someone please explain why they're false. I know that the CofM can be outside the object or inside so I know a and d are false. I know, for instance, with a baseball bat that the hitting end is more massive and that the CofM is more towards the more massive object so I can assume that c is false. I'm not sure about b. Thanks
