A railway engine pulls a wagon of mass 10000 kg along a straight track at a steady speed. The pull force in the couplings between the engine and wagon is 1000 N. If the pull force is increased to 1200 N and the resistance to movement of the wagon remains constant, what would be the acceleration of the wagon?
A 1100-kg car pulls a boat on a trailer. (a) What total force resists the motion of the car, boat, and trailer, if the car exerts a 1900-N force on the road and produces an acceleration of 0.550 m/s2? The mass of the boat plus trailer is 700 kg. (b) What is the force in the hitch between the car and the trailer if 80% of the resisting forces are experienced by the boat and trailer?

One block rests on a horizontal surface and the other one hangs freely by a cord which passes over a pulley. Assume the cord does not stretch, ignore mass of pulley and cord, therefore acceleration is the same for both blocks and tension is the same for both blocks. The hanging block moves down so the block lying on the horizontal surface moves to the right. What is the acceleration (m/s^2) of the blocks if the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.50.arrow_forward
