First examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. Apply Newton's 2nd law, F=ma, to each body in your mind. Don't worry about which quantities are given. Think about the forces on each body: How are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? Can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? One special case in this problem is if m2 = 0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a₁ = -gj

Could you just explain part where they integrate the x and y components to get those equations
Algebraic relation. A toy rocket leaves the horizontal ground and reaches a maximum height of h. The rocket then returns back to the ground a distance d Bh from the launch point. If 3 = 2.17, determine the launch angle with respect to the horizontal. Notice that you should not calculate the launch angle in degrees. Instead, you should supply the correct numerical argument for the inverse tangent function. 1 0 = tan ¹ ( Record your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures.

Hi, I need to some help for question 3. I did the first and second question. But I have some problems with the question 3. Is third question related to one and second? So please can you explain it like I am five. If it requires for number 1 I found v = 0, 48 x 106 m/s B as 0.5 T r = 2.04 m for question 2 I as 500 A n = 796 turn/m Thank you so much.
If we're shown a drawing of a person's velocity and acceleration vectors, a. how do we know whether the person is speeding up, slowing down or moving at constant speed? (Note: Vectors in the "same direction" are parallel, and those in"opposite directions" are anti-parallel. So it's best to avoid these phrases because we want an answer that encompasses all possibilities, not just parallel and anti- parallel.)
