A 16.0 kg load of bricks (m1) hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionless pulley, called an Atwood’s machine. A 28.6 kg counterweight (m2) is suspended from the other end of the rope, as shown in (Figure 1). The system is released from rest.
-
What is the magnitude of the upward acceleration of the load of bricks? (Express your answer in meters per second.)
-
What is the tension in the rope while the load is moving? (Express your answer in newtons.)

Scientists made a mat made of this new material, and did the following experiment. A force (F) was used to pull a wooden block across the mat as shown below.(5) m μ The size of the force was varied and the data table below shows the size of the force and the block's resulting acceleration.

Extend the line back to the 'y' axis so that you have a y-intercept point and determine the slope of the line. F (N) The industrial standard for the coefficient of friction for non-slip mats is 0.85. a) Using your slope value and your y-intercept value from the graph, determine the coefficient of friction between the block and the mat. b) Would this mat be approved for production based on its coefficient of friction?

You string up your food, as shown in the picture below, so that the bears in the area do not steal it. The breaking tension of the type of string you are using is 800 Newtons. Any tension greater than that will cause the string to snap. The mass of your food pack is 10 kg. If a bear comes along in the night and pulls straight down on the food pack, with what maximum force can it pull before the strings snap?arrow_forwardHow would I draw the vectors for trial 1 and trial 2 on a graph?arrow_forward
- A 1,040-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F of 390 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in the figure a below. Two figures show a side view of a crate positioned upon a horizontal surface. Figure (a): An arrow pointing downward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° below the horizontal as it approaches the upper left edge of the crate. Figure (b): An arrow pointing upward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° above the horizontal as it extends from the upper right edge of the crate. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.)(b) If the 390-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in the figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).arrow_forwardThe pair of pulleys is used to lift a 40-kg block 0.25 m.

- in Monkey and hunter case . my doctor want me to write a 5 lines about what I have learned from this screenshot. ( The simulation shows the classic physics situation of a monkey and hunter. In this case, the hunter is trying to tranquilize the monkey, so the monkey can be relocated to a better habitat. The monkey is clever—when the tranquilizer dart (in blue) leaves the gun, the monkey (in purple) lets go of the tree branch, and starts to fall straight down. Note that there is a net (not shown) at the bottom to catch the monkey, so the monkey won't get hurt.)arrow_forwardA 5.0 kg object has a set of three forces acting on it, as shown in the diagram.
