What is the mass of the other block?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
An Atwood’s machine is made of two masses, a string and a pulley. The string goes over the pulley and the pulley rotates freely with no friction. The pulley is so light it can be considered massless. If m1 is 200 grams and m2 is 300 grams,what is the acceleration of mass m2? Please answer in units of m/s2 and assume that the positive y-direction is up.

- An Atwood’s machine is made of two masses, a string and a pulley. The string goes over the pulley and the pulley rotates freely with no friction. The pulley is so light it can be considered massless. If m1 is 200 grams and m2 is 300 grams, what is the acceleration of mass m2? Please answer in units of m/s2 and assume that the positive y-direction is up.arrow_forwardA cart of mass 0.85 kg is on a track, connected by a string over a pulley to a hanging mass of 0.1 kg. A friction pad is attached to the bottom of the cart, and you push the cart so that it first moves toward the sensor, then away from the motion sensor.arrow_forwardA rope is attached to an object with mass 8.5-kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes over a pulley, and a block with mass 5 kg is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 11.6 newtons. What is the acceleration of either block? The pulley is frictionless and massless.arrow_forward
- Two people are pushing a stalled car, as the figure indicates. The mass of the car is 1850 kg. One person applies a force of 275 N to the car, while the other applies a force of 395 N. Both forces act in the same direction. A third force of 560 N also acts on the car, but in a direction opposite to that in which the people are pushing. This force arises because of friction and the extent to which the pavement opposes the motion of the tires. Find the acceleration of the car.arrow_forwardTwo boxes have masses m, = 12.0 kg and m2 = 15.0 kg and are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. There is kinetic friction between the table and mass m1. When the masses are released, m, accelerates to the right at + 2.40 m/s², and m2 accelerates down at- 2.40 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction between m, and the table? my my {Consider Newton's Laws and the forces/components (+/-) on each mass} O 90.5 N O 69.1 N O 47.6 N O 82.2 N O 77.3 N K B comm andarrow_forwardA robot with fancy wheels is trained to move in two directions simultaneously. The force in the forward direction is 10 N and the force in the horizontal direction is 8 N.

- The two masses in the figure are released from rest. After the 5.0 kg mass has fallen 1.5 m, it is moving with a speed of 4.5 m/s.

What is the tension in the string at that top of the path?arrow_forwardScientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, this gun accelerates a 7.6-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 5.1 × 103 m/s. The net force accelerating the projectile is 6.4 × 105 N.

- Akash and Beth are on skateboards. Beth and her skateboard have a combined mass of 62 kg. Akash and his skateboard have a combined mass of 150 kg. Beth pushes Akash to the left with a force of 120N. Assume no friction. What are the accelerations of Beth (+ skateboard) and Akash (+ skateboard)?arrow_forwardTwo blocks, M1 and M2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a mass-less pulley as shown in the figure. M2 which has a mass of 19.0 kg, rests on a long ramp of angle θ=25.0o. Friction can be ignored in this problem. If the actual mass of M1 is 5.00 kg and the system is allowed to move, what is the acceleration ?a of the two blocks? A positive acceleration corresponds to M2 moving up the incline.What distance d does block M2 move in 2.00 s?arrow_forwardIt's Friday night and Skyler has been assigned the noble task of baby-sitting Casey, his 2-year old brother. He puts a crash helmet on Casey, places him in a red wagon and takes him on a stroll through the neighborhood. As Skyler starts across the street, he exerts a 65.6 N forward force on the wagon. There is a 21.6 N resistance force and the wagon and Casey have a combined mass of 28.6 kg. Construct a free body diagram depicting the types of forces acting upon the wagon (upload this as part of your work to be graded). Then determine the acceleration (in m/s2) of the wagon.arrow_forward
