A car is accelerating with constant acceleration A. Block of mass mị is
moving to the right as block of mass mą is moving to the left relative to the
car as shown in the Figure. Find the acceleration of block of m1 relative to the
car. The coefficients of kinetic friction between the blocks and block of mass
m2 and the car are the same and given by µ (The pulley is massless and g is
the gravitational acceleration.).

Two friends are sitting in a stationary canoe. At t = 3.0 s the person at the front tosses a sack to the person in the rear, who catches the sack 0.2 s later. Which plot given shows the velocity of the boat as a function of time? Positive velocity is forward, negative velocity is backward. Neglect any drag force on the canoe from the water.
Two blocks are connected via a pulley, both blocks have a mass of 10.kg. One block rests on a horizontal surface and the other one hangs freely by a cord which passes over a pulley. Assume the cord does not stretch, ignore mass of pulley and cord, therefore acceleration is the same for both blocks and tension is the same for both blocks. The hanging block moves down so the block lying on the horizontal surface moves to the right.
e. A jewelry box is placed on the dashboard of a car and slides forward when the car decelerates from 20m/s to rest in 4.0 seconds, but not if the deceleration is a little bit longer. Find the coefficient of static friction between the box and the dashboard.
