The two masses in the Atwood’s machine shown in Figure 8-33 are initially at rest at the same height. After they are released, the large mass, m2, falls through a height h and hits the floor, and the small mass, m1, rises through a height h. (a) Find the speed of the masses just before m2 lands, giving your answer in terms of m1, m2 g, and h. Assume the ropes and pulley have negligible mass and that friction can be ignored. (b) Evaluate your answer to part (a) for the case h = 1.2m, m1 = 3.7 kg, and m3 = 4.1kg.

- A 4.0-kg particle moving along the x -axis is acted upon by the force whose functional form appears below. The velocity of the particle at x = 0 is v = 6.0 m/s. Find the particle’s speed at x=(a)2.0m, 2.0 (b)4.0 m. (c) 10.0m, (d) Does the particle turn around at some point and head back toward the origin? (e) Repeat part (d) if v = 2.0 m/s at x = 0.arrow_forwardAssume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?arrow_forwardRepeat the preceding problem, but including a drag force due to air of fdrag=bv .arrow_forward

The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is k = 0.250. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of block A as it moves from to , a distance of 20.0 m up the incline (and block B drops downward a distance of 20.0 m) if the system starts from rest.

Assuming that the effects of friction were negligible, how fast should he be moving when he is just two meters above lake level?arrow_forward
