Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley that is suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended a distance 1.20m , its speed is 1.50m/s .

a. If the total mass of the two blocks is 16.0kg , what is the mass of the more massive block?

Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80m/s2 .

b. What is the mass of the lighter block?

Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80m/s2 .

Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley that is suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended a distance 1.30 m, its speed is 3.00 m/s.
a) If the total mass of the two blocks is 17.0 kg, what is the mass of the more massive block?Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s^2. (mass 1)
b) What is the mass of the lighter block?
Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s^2. (mass 2)

A simple pendulum consists of a 3.0kg mass attached to a 5.0m long light rope. The upper end of the rope is fixed on the ceiling of the lecture theatre. At time t = 0s the rope holding the mass makes an angle 0.040rad to the left of its equilibrium position moving to the right at 0.056rad/s . a) What is the maximum angle the rope makes with the vertical? answer = 0.057rad b) When is the first time after...

A box of mass m = 10.0 kg is attached to a rope. The other end of the rope is wrapped around a pulley with a radius of 15.0 cm. When you release the box, it begins to fall and the rope around the pulley begins to unwind, causing the pulley to rotate. As the box falls, the rope does not slip as it unwinds from the pulley. If the box is traveling at a speed of 2.50 m/s after...

Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure below. The system is released from rest while m2 is on the floor and m1 is a distance h above the floor. (a) Assuming m1 > m2, find an expression for the speed of m1 just as it reaches the floor. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.) vf = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect....

Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley having a moment of inertia of 0.0040 kg*m2 and a radius of 5.0 cm. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the table top and the upper block is 0.300. The blocks are released from rest. Using energy methods, find the speed of the upper block just as it has moved 0.600 m.

Block A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m) because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal surface on which block A (mass 3.30 kg) moves is frictionless. The system is released from rest, and...

two small blocks with masses m and 2m are attached to a spring with negligible mass, spring constant k, and has a natural length defined by L. The blocks and the springs rest on a horizontal surface without friction with the block with mass m in frictionless contact with a wall located at x=0. the system is entirely released from rest at t=0 with spring compressed to a length l/2. Determine the linear momentum impulse delivered to the lighter block...

A mass m1 on a horizontal shelf is attached by a thin string that passes over a frictionless pulley to a 2.4 kg mass (m2) that hangs over the side of the shelf 1.2 m above the ground. The system is released from rest at t = 0 and the 2.4 kg mass strikes the ground at t = 0.86 s. The system is now placed in its initial position and a 1.2 kg mass is placed on top of...
