Hoping for complete solutions since I’m having a hard time with this. The question is asking for both an instantenous position x(t) and velocity v(t) equations. Pls skip if unsure or not willing to answer the subquestions A-E (these are all connected for one item). Thanks in advanced!
Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope sit at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block A has mass 15.0 [kg], and block B has mass m. A constant horizontal force F=80.0 [N] is applied to block A. In the first 3.00 [s] after the force is applied, block A moves 18.0 [m] to the right
A. Draw the free body diagram of block A and Block B.
Draw the x and y axis. (Hint: The string is taut all the time)
B. What is the acceleration of block ? in the first 3.00 [s] if both blocks start from rest?
C. From your answer in (b), write the acceleration of block B
D. Write Newton’s 2nd law for block A along the horizontal direction and solve for the magnitude of the force exerted by the rope on block A
E. Write Newton’s 2nd law for block ? along the horizontal direction and solve for its unknown
mass m. (Hint: Frope on A = Frope on B)

- This is part of a lesson plan for the calculus class I am taking. The solution is in the textbook, but I do not understand where they came up with the answers. I am looking for a different way to solve it so I can try to understand for my test.arrow_forwardHelp me pleasearrow_forwardTrue / False: In an elevator the acceleration is magically measured to be -3.00 m/s2 (where + is up and – is down) I therefore know that the elevator is moving down.arrow_forward
- The Hulk, on the 75th story of Stark Tower (225 m off the ground), sees Tony drop his penny. He catches the penny and throws it back to Tony. What is the minimum speed necessary for Hulk's throw in order for the penny to reach Tony? (Note: nobody bothers trying to get Mjolnir back to Thor. He's on his own.)arrow_forwardA carnival game has you throw a ball through a hoop as the hoop falls from some height. Suppose for onesuch game the hoop falls from a height of 2.0 m above your hand when you throw the ball, and you stand ahorizontal distance of 3.0 m away. If you throw the ball right when the hoop is released (from rest), at whatangle must you throw the ball in order for you to win the prize?arrow_forwardI know that velocity can be zero when the accleration is not. An example is when a ball is thrown in the air, and that instant moment before it begins to drop, the velocity is zero. What would acceleration equal? Would it equal gravity (9.8m/s^2)?If so, how would I prove that?arrow_forward
- As part of an obstacle course, an athlete must kick a soccer ball into a 1 meter wide and 10 meter deep pit such that the ball hits a target at the bottom of the pit. In practice, a dynamics student that is participating in the race kicks the soccer ball such that the soccer ball will bounce off the far wall of the pit 5 meters below the surface and head towards the target. If the velocity of the ball before striking the wall at point at point A is v4 = 2.6i – 10j m, determine the t-component of the ) after striking the wall. The size of the ball and the target ball velocity vector (in are negligible relative to the dimensions of the pit, the gravity acceleration must be considered as g 10 m and the coefficient of restitution at point A is e =0.35. 5 m t 10 m 1m 三arrow_forwardTarzan grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree when he is running at 9.3 m/s. a. How high (in m) can he swing upward? (Enter your answer with respect to the ground.) (Answer in m) b. Does the length of the vine affect this height? (Yes or No)arrow_forwardi push a cart up a 5 degree hill at 2m/s. what is my horizontal and my vertical velocity ?arrow_forward
- Hi, I have one more follow-up question regarding a similar problem where I need to find the height: In a rollercoaster ride a passenger car at the top of the first hill is travelling at 3.5 m/s. The carthen descends on rails to the bottom of the slope and then goes up the second hill where the speed is 10 m/s. Find the difference in height between the first and second hill. (Result 4.47m) Attached is the formula I tried to use, however, I get a different result so I am definitely doing something wrong. Online I didn't find a similar problem so I am asking here as a last chance. Can you help?arrow_forwardHow would I begin to solve this problem? In Example 2.6, we considered a simple model for a rocket launched from the surface of the Earth. A better expression for a rocket's position measured from the center of the Earth is given by y(t) = (RE3/2 + 3*(g/2)1/2 REt)2/3 where RE is the radius of the Earth (6.38 ✕ 106 m) and g is the constant acceleration of an object in free fall near the Earth's surface (9.81 m/s2). (a) Derive expressions for vy(t) and ay(t). (Use the following as necessary: g, RE, and t. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)arrow_forwardA glass container is knocked off a shelf at a height of 1.4 meters above the floor beside you. It takes you 0.35s to react to the falling object and reach out your hand in an attempt to catch the container. Will you be able to reach the container before it hits the floor?arrow_forward
