To understand how the conservation of energy and Newton's second law can be combined to solve kinetic problems. As shown, a large globe has a radius R and a frictionless surface. A small block with mass m starts sliding from rest at the top of the globe and slides along the globe’s surface. The block leaves the globe’s surface when it reaches a height hl above the ground. The system’s geometry is shown for an arbitrary height h. (Figure 1) Note that the subscripts used in this problem is the letter l and not the number 1. Consider what happens when the block leaves the globe’s surface. Which of the following statement or statements are correct? The net acceleration of the block is directed straight down. The component of the force of gravity toward the globe’s center is equal to the normal force’s magnitude. The force of gravity is the only force acting on the block.Consider what happens when the block leaves the globe’s surface. Which of the following statement or statements are…
9 Macmillan Learning Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of uniform height d. The mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass m: object 1 has mass 4.60m, object 2 has mass 1.71m, and object 3 has mass m. When the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. Each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression that uses some combination of the variables m, g, and d, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Enter only the numerical coefficient. (Example: If the answer is 1.23mgd, just enter 1.23) If the objects are positioned on the steps as shown, what is gravitational potential energy Ug,system of the system? If you redefine the reference height such that the total potential energy of the system is zero, how high ho above the bottom of the stairs is the new reference height? Now, find a new…
Particles of mass 600 g and 400 g are connected by a light inextensible string passing over a smooth fixed pulley. Initially both masses hang vertically, 30 cm above the ground. If the system is released from rest, find the greatest height reached above ground by the 400 g mass.
A fully loaded elevator cabin has a mass of 1200kg. In 3.0 minutes, the cabin must be raised to a height of 54 meters. Since the counterbalance has a mass of just 950kg, the elevator's engine must assist in balancing the cabin. What is the average power of the motor's tractive force operating on the cabin through a tow rope?
113 Blocks on a spring. Two blocks with masses m₁ and m₂ are connected by a spring and are free to slide on a frictionless horizontal surface.

(c) If m₁ > m2,which block has more kinetic energy? 中

A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 3.4 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 5.0 m to one side of the point directly under the ball. When a button is pressed, the ball drops and, simultaneously, the cannon fires a 25 g plastic ball. The two balls collide 1.2 m above the floor. What was the launch speed of the plastic ball?

Question 1: A sphere of mass m = 2 kg, is released from rest at point A (see Figure 1.1). Due to gravity, the sphere goes down the path AB (which is an inclined plane, at 45 degrees from the horizontal line) and then hits the ground at point D; the vertical wall BC is 2000 cm high (see Figure 1.1 for details) Assume no friction. (a) Derive the velocity of the sphere when it reaches point B. (b) Derive the distance CD and the time the sphere takes to go from point B to point D.
