- Problem Statement: An object of mass M is connected to an object of mass m by a massless string resting over a massless, frictionless pulley. Mass M accelerates on the frictionless surface to the right. M a. Choose an appropriate coordinate system (s) and draw free body diagram(s). Make a table of known/given information and unknown/wanted information. List any physical assumptions you are using to solve the problem. b. Write down Newton's Second Law for both block m and block M. c. What is the acceleration constraint for the two blocks? Massless string Massless, fric- tionless pulley m d. Find a symbolic expression for the acceleration of both blocks M and m. e. Assess the validity of your solutions in the following ways: 1) Check the physical units of your expression for the acceleration for the two blocks. 2) Consider the situation where m = 0. What do you expect the acceleration of block M to be? Does your solution from part d match your expectations in this situation?

The bullet strikes a block of wood and the bullet penetrates to a depth of 12 cm into the wood before coming to a stop. 1. Draw the motion and force diagrams for the bullet while it is coming to a stop. ignore the weight vector . 2. What resistive force (assumed to be constant) does the wood exert on the bullet? 3. How many seconds does it take the bullet to come to rest?arrow_forwardHi there, I need some help on drawing this free body diagram for this scenario. I do know that normal force, weight, drag, and kinetic friction forces are the ones that are acting in this scenario. I just can't seem to get the diagram drawn correctly, supposing the car is moving to the right. Scenario: Your car is skidding to a stop from a high speed. Thank you!arrow_forward
