A m₁ = 1.00-kg aluminum block and a m₂ = 6.10-kg copper block are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. The two blocks are allowed to move on a fixed steel block wedge (of angle θ = 34.5°) as shown in the figure. (For aluminum on steel, μ_s = 0.61 and μ_k = 0.47. For copper on steel, μ_s = 0.53 and μ_k = 0.36.) (a) the acceleration of the two blocks and (b) the tension in the string

You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with a 1.24-kg carton of cereal at the left end of the basket. The basket is 0.61 m long. Where should you place a 1.9-kg

gallon of milk, relative to the left end of the basket, so that the center of mass of your groceries is at the center of the basket?

Hello ! I'm studying for a test tomorrow and looking for steps on how to do this.

A spherical shell has in inner radius R_i and an outer radius R_o. Within the shell, a total charge Q is uniformly distributed.

Calculate:

a) the charge density within the shell (if you cannot get this answer, you can proceed without it).

b) the electric field strength E(r) outside the shell (r > R_o).

c) the electric field strength inside the shell (r< R_i).

d) the electric field within the shell (R_i < r < R_o)

e) show that your solutions match both inner and outer boundaries

f) Draw a graph E versus r.

C) A 0.315 kg bird flying along at 6.5 m/s sees a 0.019 kg insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 23 m/s (as measured by an observer on the ground, not by the bird). The bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing the insect? Answer in m/s

A bullet with a mass m b = 13.1 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity v b = 245 m/s. The block is attached to a spring that has a spring constant k of 205 N/m. The block and bullet continue to move, compressing the spring by 35.0 cm before the whole system momentarily comes to a stop. Assuming that the surface on which the block is resting is frictionless, determine the mass of the wooden block.

The picture below shows an isolated system with a fairly massive wheel at one end, attached via its axle to a long shaft, like a bike tire on a bike frame, but the bike frame is merely a low mass 'truss.' At the other end of this long shaft is a mass of roughly the same magnitude as the wheel, so the center of gravity (CG) is roughly in the middle of the shaft. This mass is fixed to the shaft with no rotation possible. The assembly is floating motionless in 'space', with no contact to anything else.

Diagram of apparatus

If a motor on the 'truss' causes the wheel to spin in one direction, the truss would begin to spin in the other direction about the common center of mass. The net angular momentum would thus be zero both before and after the spinning commences. The wheel and the truss would rotate in the same plane. The actual rotation rate of each part is dependent upon the individual masses, wheel radius, and the length of the shaft. It is getting complex, but so far easy enough to envision in general.

Now, place into the 'truss' a mechanism that causes this long shaft to rotate on its long axis (which would be perpendicular to the spin axis) while it is still undergoing the above rotation relative to the wheel. Upon rotation at this new joint, a force is applied to the axle of the spinning wheel (and of course to the mass at the other end of the truss, too) causing each part to try to turn in the opposite direction. Given that the net angular momentum is still zero, the vector sum of the individual parts (the spinning wheel and the body as a whole rotating around its CG) must be equal and opposite. I cannot envision the result, however, nor do I have the background to derive the equations of motion of this 'whirly gig.' The best I can imagine is that the plane of overall rotation should change, with the plane of the wheel's rotation changing in the opposite direction. This would seem to result in a state where the wheel is no longer spinning in the same plane as the overall assembly, but that would seem unsustainable and perhaps unstable. How can the behavior of this system be understood?

3. Two ice skaters collide on the ice. A 39.6-kg skater moving South at 6.21 m/s collides with a 52.1-kg skater

moving East at 4.33 m/s. The two skaters entangle and move together across the ice. Determine the magnitude

and direction of their post-collision velocity (answer: 3.64 m/s at 42.5 degrees)
