1. The small mass m is to slide down the large mass M without friction. The track along which the small block slides is a quarter circle with radius R. The large mass itself is free to move on a frictionless horizontal surface. Initially both masses are at rest with the small mass at the top of the quarter circle, as shown in the figure. (a) (5 Pts.) What is the initial total mechanical energy with respect to the horizontal...
In the figure below the mass is known, M, as is the mass and radius of the large pulley (My, R). mg a) Calculate the magnitude of the tension in the rope, as well as the acceleration of the block. The small pulley is negligible. b) If the system is released from rest, calculate the angular velocity of the pulley and the linear velocity of the mass after a time At.
At a particular instant in time, a small star of mass m is on a line with two large stars, both with mass M, as shown The small star is a distance r from the nearer big star and a distance 2r from the further big star. There are no other masses around. What is the magnitude of the net force on the small star m?
Problem 4. Consider the spring-mass system shown in the figure. The displacement of the mass m as a function of time is as follows: x = Xocoswt) + cos(Wnt) ωη where xo is the initial displacement equals to 0.1 m, čo is the initial velocity equals to 1 m/s, and Wr is the natural frequency of the system equals to 4 rad/s. Calculate the acceleration (second time derivative of displacement) of the mass after 1 s with a time step...
Consider the small cube of mass m in the figure. It
slides down a circular path of radius R carved into a
large block of mass M. M rests on a table, and
both blocks move without friction (i.e. M can easily slide
sideways). The blocks are initially at rest, and m starts
from the top of the path.
Find the velocity of m as it leaves the block.
Consider the small cube of mass m in the figure. It...

Problem 6. v- (for both) A small block with mass m is sitting on a large block of mass M that is sloped so that the small block can slide down the larger block. There is no friction between the two blocks, no friction between the large block and the table, and no drag force. The center of mass of the small block is located a height H above where it would be if it were sitting on the table...
A small car of mass m and a large car of mass
4m drive along a highway at constant speed. They approach
a curve of radius R. Both cars maintain the same
acceleration a as they travel around the curve. How does
the speed of the small car vS compare to the speed of the
large car vL as they round the curve?
Now assume that two identical cars of mass m drive
along a highway. One car approaches a...
The system shown in the figure below consists of a mass M = 3.3-kg block resting on a frictionless horizontal ledge. This block is attached to a string that passes over a pulley, and the other end of the string is attached to a hanging m = 1.7-kg block. The pulley is a uniform disk of radius 8.0 cm and mass 0.60 kg. (a) What is the acceleration of each block? acceleration of M = 3.3 kg _____ m/s2 acceleration...
