A block with mass m1 hangs from a rope that is extended over an ideal pulley and attached to a second block with mass m2 that sits on a ledge. The second block is also connected to a third block with mass m3 by a second rope that hangs over a second ideal pulley as shown in Figure P5.47. If the friction between the ledge and the second block is negligible, m1 = 3.00 kg, m2 = 5.00 kg, and m3 = 8.00 kg, find the magnitude of the tension in each rope and the acceleration of each block. FIGURE P5.47
A block with mass m1 hangs from a rope that is extended over an ideal pulley and attached to a second block with mass m2 that sits on a ledge slanted at an angle of 20 (Fig. P5.49). Suppose the system of blocks is initially motionless and held still, and then it is released. If m1 = 7.00 kg and m2 = 2.00 kg, find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, assuming there is no friction between the second block and the ledge. FIGURE P5.49 Problems 49 and 50.

In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 45.3 m/s in a time of 6.11 s. The mass of the car and riders is 8.43 × 103 kg. Find the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets.
As a rocket ascends, its acceleration increases even though the net force on it stays constant. Why? (Assume a traveling distance small enough that the thrust, acceleration due to gravity and atmosphere do not change.) As the rocket ascends, fuel is burned at a faster rate resulting in a larger acceleration.The rocket's mass decreases as its fuel is consumed. The same net force acting on a smaller mass results in a larger acceleration. The faster a rocket moves the more acceleration is imparted to it from a given force.As a rocket ascends its momentum increases with its speed. The greater the momentum of the rocket, the greater the acceleration imparted to it from a given force.

An object has a velocity (4.04 m/s)i + (-4.96 m/s)j + (4.44 m/s)k. In a time of 3.84 s its velocity becomes (-3.75 m/s)i + (0.00 m/s)j + (4.44 m/s)k. If the mass of the object is 2.97 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object, in N, during the 3.84 s? Assume the acceleration is constant.
