- A stack of two crates is being accelerated upwards by two cables. The cables are directly attached to crate 1 and the tension in each cable is 3248 N. You may assume that the masses of the cables are negligible compared to the masses of the crates. The acceleration of the crates is? bottom crate crate 1 is 109 kg. the top crate is 248 kg.arrow_forwardA person catches a ball with a mass of 145 g dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His hand stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball? Assume the ball slows down with constant acceleration.arrow_forwardA commercial airplane is coming in for a landing. Just before it hits the runway it is moving at 76 m/s. The plane has a mass of 20,000 kg. The runway is 1.6km long and, obviously, the airplane needs to be stopped before it reaches the end of the runway. How large is the braking force the airplane needs to stop safely before the end of the runway?arrow_forward
