GO Figure 5-47 shows Atwood’s machine, in which two containers are connected by a cord (of negligible mass) passing over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass). At time t = 0, container 1 has mass 1.30 kg and container 2 has mass 2.80 kg, but container 1 is losing mass (through a leak) at the constant rate of 0.200 kg/s. At what rate is the acceleration magnitude of the containers changing at (a) t = 0 and (b) t = 3.00 s? (c) When does the acceleration reach its maximum value?

- According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…arrow_forwardThe figure shows Atwood's machine, in which two containers are connected by a cord (of negligible mass) passing over a frictionless pulley (also of negligible mass).

- In the figure here, block 1 of mass 2.2 kg and block 2 of mass 3.4 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass and are initially held in place. Block 2 is on a frictionless surface tilted at 0 = 23 °. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the horizontal surface is 0.25. The pulley has negligible mass and friction. Once they are released, the blocks move. What then is the tension in the string?

At a critical angle θc=43∘, the mass starts to slide so you hold the angle constant. The mass takes 0.75 s to slide a distance of 17 cm to the edge of the book.

Imagine a muon of mass 1.88 × 10-28 kg is observed in a particle accelerator. It has an initial speed of 3.50 × 105 m/s. It moves in a straight line, and its speed increases to 1.25 × 106 m/s in a distance of 75.0 cm. Assume that the acceleration is constant. Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the muon.arrow_forwardThe block A with mass of 80 kg slides along the top of the block B with mass of 110 kg. The block A has an acceleration of 3.0 m/s2 when a horizontal force F of 700 N is applied, as in the Figure. There is no friction between the block B and a horizontal frictionless surface, but there is friction between the two blocks.
