Two blocks are connected by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal frictionless and massless pulley such that one block with mass m1= 12.25 kg is on a horizontal table and the other block with mass m2=7.5 kg Thanks vertically. Both blocks experience gravity in the tension fourth, T. Used to coordinate system specified in the diagram.(A) assuming friction forces are negligible, write an expression, using only the variables provided come up for the acceleration at the block of mass M one expresses an X direction. Your answer should involve the tension, T. (B) under the same assumptions, written expression for the magnitude of the acceleration, a2, the block of mass into experiences in the Y direction. Your answer should be in terms of attention, T and M2. (c) carefully consider how the accelerations a1 and a2 are related.

An SUV containing 5 passengers has a mass of 3500 kg. It has a driving force of 2500 N directed west on a perfectly horizontal road. The surface of the road exerts a resistive force of 500 N due east. At the same time, a strong wind is blowing a force of 500 N due east in the opposite direction of the car's drive force. Does the car have any acceleration? If yes, then what is the magnitude and direction of the car's acceleration?
