Question

The figure below shows a 4800 kg cable car descending a high hill. A counterweight of mass 4400 kg on the other side of the hill aids the breaks in controlling the cable cars speed. The rolling friction of both the cable car and the counterweight are negligible. a. How much braking force does the cable car need to descend with an acceleration of 0.15 m/s? b. What is the tension in the cable connecting the two cars in part a? Counterweight 200 m

    The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are small cable cars that go up and down the steep hillsides. As the figure(Figure_1) shows, one car ascends as the other descends. The cars use a two-cable arrangement to compensate for friction; one cable passing around a large pulley connects the cars, the second is pulled by a small motor. Suppose the mass of both cars (with passengers) is 1700 kg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 3.0 times 10^-2, and the cars...

    A 1250 kg car drives up a hill that is 16.2 m high. During the drive, two nonconservative forces do work on the car: (i) the force of friction, and (ii) the force generated by the car's engine. The work done by friction is -2.91 times 10^5 J; the work done by the engine is 6.64 times 10^5 J. Find the change in the car's kinetic energy from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill.
