Question
A ball is hanging from a long string that is tied to the ceiling of a train car traveling eastward on horizontal tracks. An observer inside the train car sees the ball hang motionless.
Part A
Draw a clearly labeled free-body diagram for the ball if the train has a uniform velocity.
Draw the force vectors with their tails at the dot. (Black vector is the sum of the vectors in my diagram.)
Part B
Draw a clearly labeled free-body diagram for the ball if the train is speeding up uniformly.
Draw the force vectors with their tails at the dot. (Black vector is the sum of the vectors in my diagram.)

- Two blocks are connected by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal (frictionless and massless) pulley such that one block with mass m1 = 12.25 kg is on a horizontal table and the other block with mass m2 = 7.5 kg hangs vertically. Both blocks experience gravity and the tension force, T. Use the coordinate system specified in the diagram. a.) Assuming friction forces are negligible, write an expression, using only the variables provided, for the acceleration that the block of mass m1 experiences in the x-direction. Your answer should involve the tension, T. b.) Under the same assumptions, write an expression for the acceleration, a2, the block of mass m2 experiences in the y-direction. Your answer should be in terms of the tension, T and m2. c.) Carefully consider how the accelerations a1 and a2 are related. Solve for the magnitude of the acceleration, a1, of the block of mass m1, in meters per square second. d.)Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope, T, in newtons.arrow_forwardTommy is working on a physics problem and asks his friend Sarah to check his work. He is to draw a free body diagram for a man walking to the left and comes up with the following: He reasons, “The man is walking to the left, so the force of friction is acting in the opposite direction. The normal force should be opposite and equal to that of the gravitational force.” Is Tommy correct with his diagram and reasoning? If so, explain. If not, what mistake did he make?
