Hello! I am looking for soltions to a question which has already been posted on your site I believe. Its from the text book Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Chapter 5 Laws of motion: A block of mass 2.20 kg is accelerated across a rough surface by a rope passing over a pulley, as shown in figure P5.52. The tension in the rope is 10.0 N, and the pulley is 10.0 cm above the top of the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.400. A) Determine the acceleration of the block when x= 0.400 m. B) Find the value of x at which the acceleration becomes zero. Thank you!!! ;o)
5.A small rocket with mass 20.0 kg is moving in free falltoward the earth. Air resistance can be neglected. When the rocket is80.0 m above the surface of the earth, it is moving downward with aspeed of 30.0 m/s. At that instant the rocket engines start to fire and producea constant upward force F on the rocket. Assume the change in therocket’s mass is negligible. What is the value of F if the rocket’s speedbecomes zero just as it reaches the surface of the earth, for a soft landing?(Hint: The net force on the rocket is the combination of the upwardforce F from the engines and the downward weight of the rocket.)
