You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
In the (Figure 1) the coefficient of static friction between mass mAmA and the table is 0.50, whereas the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. Ignore masses of the cord and the (frictionless) pulley. What minimum value of mAmA will keep the system from starting to move? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. What value of mAmA will keep the system moving at constant speed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A 500N block is resting on an inclined plane and is subjected to a constant force of 600N acting parallel to the inclined plane. After the block has moved 3m from rest along the inclined plane, the force 600N is removed. The inclined plane has a slope of 3 vertical to 4 horizontal. Coefficient of friction is 0.20. Solve for the velocity of the block, in m/s, when the force 600N was removed. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (see figure below), Nick pulls on the loose enc of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 310 N. Nick's true weight is 310 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick's feet are not touching the ground. Use g=9.8 m/s². (b) Find Nick's acceleration, using upward as positive. m/s² (c) Find the magnitude of the force Nick exerts on the chair. (d*) Instead Nick hands the rope with the scale to his friend Barney, who stands on the ground. Barney pulls on the rope so that the spring scale again reads 310 N. What is Nick's acceleration now, again using upward as positive.
Prof. K. lives on a steep hill and wants to conduct a Dynamics experiment with her car. She starts from rest at the top of the hill and releases the brakes. Her acceleration down the grade is a function of velocity and is described by the equation a = 3.22 - 0.04v? where v is the velocity of her car in ft/sec. Help Prof. K. predict the velocity of her car at the bottom of the grade in mph. 600'
