Chapter 5, Problem 5.112CP
Moving Wedge. A wedge with mass M rests on a friction less, horizontal tabletop. A block with mass m is placed on the wedge (Fig. P5.112a). There is no friction between the block and the wedge. The system is released from rest. (a) Calculate the acceleration of the wedge and the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration of the block. (b) Do your answers to part (a) reduce to the correct results when M is very large? (c) As seen by a stationary observer, what is the shape of the trajectory of the block?

A 1447 kg car accelerates from a complete stop at a traffic light to a speed of 28.5 m/s in 73 seconds (the car is on a perfectly
flat surface).
The ground exerts a horizontal force on the tires preventing them from slipping as the car accelerates. What is the average of
this force for the entire experiment?
564.92
N
564.92
If the tire does not slip at its point of contact (where the force is acting), how far does the force displace the tire?
1040.25
1040.25
Thus, how much work is done on the real car system by this force?
An empty box is travelling on the conveyor with 0.2 m/s, then 12 kg package is dropped into this box with 1 m/s speed. When dropped, package and box are immediately sticked together. Friction coefficeient between the box and the conveyor is μk = 0.2 . After the package dropped, package and box start sliding on the conveyor for some distance, d for t(sliding) amount of time. Determine the distance, d.

Consider the roller coaster ride shown below. Here r1=6m and r2=16m. Imagine that the car is traveling with a constant speed of v=6.7m/s throughout the whole ride. If the mass of a child riding the car is m=35kg, determine the apparent weight of the child at point A. Express your answer using SI units with zero decimal place. Take g=9.80m/s2.
