Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over two frictionless pulleys as in the figure below. The block of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 > m2.If the system is released from rest, and the spring is initially not stretched or compressed, find an expression for the maximum displacement d of m2. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)

Researchers have measured the acceleration of racing greyhounds as a function of their speed; a simplified version of their results is shown in (Figure 1). The acceleration at low speeds is constant and is limited by the fact that any greater acceleration would result in the dog pitching forward because of the force acting on its hind legs during its power stroke. At higher speeds, the dog's acceleration is limited by the maximum power its muscles can provide.
a)If the dog's mass is 32 kg, what is the average force acting on it during its initial acceleration phase?
b)How far does the dog run until its speed reaches 2.0 m/s?
A motion sensor and a force sensor record the motion of a cart along a track, as shown above. The cart is given a push so that it moves toward the force sensor and then collides with it. The two sensors record the values shown in the following graphs.

In this problem, you are given a diagram (Figure 1) representing the motion of an object: a motion diagram. The dots represent the object's position at moments separated by equal intervals of time. The dots are connected by arrows representing the object's average velocity during the corresponding time interval. Your goal is to use this motion diagram to determine the direction of the net force acting on the object. You will then determine which force diagrams and which situations may correspond to such a motion. Consider the following situations: A car is moving along a straight road at a constant speed. A car is moving along a straight road while slowing down. A car is moving along a straight road while speeding up. A hockey puck slides along a smooth (i.e., frictionless) icy surface.

- Usually, we do not walk or even stand on a lightweight boat or raft because of the danger of falling into the water. If you have ever stepped off a small boat onto a dock, however, you have probably noticed that the boat moves away from the dock as you step toward the dock or out of the boat. A heavy dog running on a long lightweight raft presents a similar situation. At first, the raft and the dog are at rest with respect to the water (see figure A below) so that vi = 0. The dog then runs on top of the raft at vd = vd with respect to the water (see figure B below). The dog has half the mass of the raft. Find an expression for the velocity of the raft after the dog began running.
