Chapter 3.2, Problem 2fT

For motion 2, draw vectors in region II of the enlargement that represent the initial and the final momentum of the ball. Draw these vectors using the same scale that you need for motion I (i.e., the relative lengths should represent the relative magnitudes). Use these vectors to construct the change in momentum vector Δ p for motion 2.

How should the direction Δ p compare to the direction of the net force on the ball as it rolls down the ramp? If necessary, modify your diagram to be consistent with the impulse-momentum theorem.

Two ants, Xavier and Yvonne, move from point a to point b on the figure below. Xavier takes path X; Yvonne takes path Y. Even though their paths are different, they both arrive at point b at the same time. Using a ruler and the fact that it took both of them 4.93 seconds to go from point a to point b, calculate both the speed and the velocity (in cm/s) for both Xavier and Yvonne and enter these values into the table. Then, in words, tell me: how do their speeds compare? How do their velocities compare?
Displayed to the right are two carts connected by a cord that passes over a small frictionless pulley. Each cart rolls freely with negligible friction. Consider the mass of the cart to be m1 and the angle the first cart sits on to be θ1, while the mass of the second cart as m2 and the angle it sits on to be θ2. a)Considering the positive x direction to be pointing as it is in the image, write an equation for the acceleration that the two blocks experience in terms of the mass of the first block m1, the angle θ1, the mass of the second block m2, the angle θ2, and the acceleration due to gravity g.  b) What is the equation for tension in regards to the rope coming from the second block? Answer in terms of the mass of the block m2, the acceleration due to gravity g, the angle θ2, and the acceleration of the blocks found previously a.
Consider a pair of masses m1 and m2 connected by a non-stretchable string that runs over a frictionless pulley as shown on the figure on the right. If the coefficient of the kinetic friction between m1 and on the horizontal surface on which it initially rest is μk, find its resulting acceleration magnitude in terms of m1, m2, and μk, when the system is released. Assume that air resistance is negligible and m2 > μk m1. Show the complete and thorough solution in a clean paper
