A simple pulley system consists of two masses connected by a thin rope. Mass A, 5.0 kg, is initially on the floor, and mass B, 10.0 kg, is initially 2.00 m in the air. If the system is released from rest, what is the speed with which mass B hits the floor? You can ignore friction. B. 2.00 m Enter the speed in meters per second -- only type in the number (do not include the 'm/s').

9. A 1200 kg car drives at an initial velocity vo = 45 m/s along a highway. At t = 0, the driver releases the gas, and the car slows to a stop due to a drag force given by Fdrag = -b v, where b = 15 kg/s³. Derive a function for the car's velocity as a function of time and solve it for the car's velocity at 10, 20, and 30 s.
You decide to launch a rockof mass m1 using a tube containing a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is at equilibrium, it fills the entire tube. To launch a rock, you push it into the tube, compressing the spring a distance d, at which point a locking mechanism holds the spring(and the rock) in place. When the lockis released, the spring pushes the rock to the end of the tube where it will be launched into the air. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the inside surface of the tube is given by μk. You setup the launcher at an angle q above the horizontal with the spring end buried such that when the spring is compressed and locked, the rock is at ground level. a)Find the work done on the rock by non-conservative forces as it moves from the point of release to the end of the tube. Express your answer in terms of μk, m1, q, d, and any necessaryconstants. b) Find the velocity of the rockvfas it exits the launch tube in terms of μk, k, m1, q, d, and any…
