Problem: Two blocks for masses m1 and m2 are stacked on top of each other and placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The surfaces between two blocks is rough and has a coeff of static friction, us. A horiz push of magnitude, F, directed to the right is applied on the bottom block.

A. Derive an expression for the maximum horizontal force, F, that can be applied on the bottom block, m1, before the top block m2, begins to slip.

B. Calculate F in Newtons (m1=5 kg) (m2=2 kg) (us=0.47)

C. If the mass of the top block is increased, what happens to the maximum value of F?

1. Suppose we have two blocks of masses m1 and m2. The block with mass m1 is moving towards block m2 at speed v. After the collision, we measure the total kinetic energy and find that the total kinetic energy after the collision is m2/(m1+m2) less than the kinetic energy before the collision. Find the final speeds of the two blocks. What type of collision is this? 2. Explain, in words, how we know that a freely spinning asteroid in...

Two blocks of masses m1= 2.00 kgand m2= 4.10 kg are released from rest at a height of h= 4.40 m on a frictionless track. When they meet on the level portion of the track, they undergo a head-on, elastic collision. Determine the maximum heights to which m1 and m2 rise on the curved portion of the track after the collision.

An Atwood's machine consists of blocks of masses m1 = 9.1 kg and m2 = 20.0 kg attached by a cord running over a pulley as in the figure below. The pulley is a solid cylinder with mass M = 8.00 kg and radius r = 0.200 m. The block of mass m2 is allowed to drop, and the cord turns the pulley without slipping. a) Why must tension T2 be greater than T1 B) what is the acceleration of...

Two masses, m1 and m2, are falling but not freely. In addition to gravity, there is also a force F1 applied directly to m1 in the downward direction and a force F2 applied directly to m2 in the horizontal direction. Friction (µs) is present between the two masses and the forces are applied such that they do not rotate. The force F2 is as large as it can be and not have m2 slide relative to m1. (a) Find an...

Figure Q1 shows a double-inclined plane supporting two blocks M1 and M2 which have masses 12 kg and 70 kg respectively. The system is released from rest in the position shown and the kinetic coefficient of friction between block M2 and the rough plane is ?? = 0.4. i) Compute the tension and acceleration of the blocks. ii) Using impulse-momentum method, determine the time taken when M2 reaches a speed of 2 m/s.

Three blocks, each made of different materials, are going to be stacked on top of each other. One block is made of brass, another is made of iron, and a third is made of lead. Each block is a perfect cube: 1 m x 1 m x 1 m. Sam is worried about the weight of the blocks compressing each other. a. Come up with an algebraic equation for the total change in height for the stack of blocks (in...

two masses m1 = 4.70 kg and m2 which has a mass 50.0% that of m1, are attached to a cord of negligible mass which passes over a frictionless pulley also of negligible mass. If m1 and m2 start from rest, after they have each traveled a distance h = 2.90 m, use energy content to determine the following. (a) speed v of the masses (b) magnitude of the tension T in the cord

3 boxes, having masses m1=5kg, m2=10kg and m3=15 kg are stacked "sideways" (i.e., in x-) on a surface with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.7 muk; an external force of magnitude 15 N pushes on the right-most box, making an angle of 30 degrees relative to the horizontal; a second force of magnitude 20 N pushes in the opposite direction on the left-most box, as a result of which all three accelerate uniformly. Determine the numerical value all of the forces...

The two blocks, m1 = 2.6 kg and m2 = 4.2, in the figure below are connected by a massless rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley is 12 cm in diameter and has a mass of 2.0 kg. As the pulley turns, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 0.55 N · m. If the blocks are released from rest, how long does it take the 4.2 kg block to reach the floor from a height...
