- A steel cable lying flat on the floor drags a 20 kg block across a horizontal, frictionless floor. A 110 N force applied to the cable causes the block to reach a speed of 3.9 m/s in a distance of 2.0 m. What is the mass of the cable? Express your answer with the appropriate units. m= Submit μA Value Units ? Units input for part A Previous Answers Request Answerarrow_forwardA cart travels to the left on a frictionless track. Due to the tension force caused by the mass placed on the hook (m2), the cart accelerates. When it passes through the first sensor, the cart is moving with a speed of 0.53 m / s. Then, passing through the second sensor, it travels with a speed of 1.7 m / s. Determine the acceleration of the cart if the separation distance between the sensors is 0.34 m.arrow_forwardDetermine the fit functions that best represent the position vs. time graphs in the x and y directions. Determine the acceleration as the block slides down the track for a given angle. Graph the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force versus the magnitude of the normal force for one block mass and the different angles you used. How does the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force on an object depend on the normal force on the object? What role does the kinetic frictional force play as the crates go sliding down the ramp?arrow_forward
- *THIS IS ONE SINGLE QUESTION* The graph below depicts the velocity, measured in meters per second, of a particle moving along the x-axis. The numbers given in the graph represent the area of each interval on [0,7], [7.10] and [10.12]. The particle's position is continuous on the time interval from [0,12] seconds. a. Set up an Integral expression for the total distance travelled by the particle in the first 12 seconds, then evaluate. b. set up an Integral expression for the total displacement of the particle in the first 12 seconds, then evaluate. c. find the values where the particle is change directions. determine whether each is a relative minimum or maximum in position. justify d. the initial position of the particle is 2 units to the right of the origin. find the particle's position at time t=12. candidates chart.arrow_forwardTwo identical boxes with mass m are placed on inclined surfaces with coefficient of kinetic friction and connected by a light rope passing through a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure.
