A block with a carpeted underside is pulled by a wheeled cart attached by a piece of cordage. If the two traveled at a constant acceleration down an inclined ramp (with a known angle), how would one go about finding mu s and mu k if values of position and time were recorded? Mass of the cart+block is also recorded.

A railway engine pulls a wagon of mass 10000 kg along a straight track at a steady speed. The pull force in the couplings between the engine and wagon is 1000 N. If the pull force is increased to 1200 N and the resistance to movement of the wagon remains constant, what would be the acceleration of the wagon?

Note that at t = 0 the object is at rest, so the constants of integration are zero. Set the magnitude of the dt velocity vector equal to the speed, and solve the resulting equation for t. s (b) How far (in m) is the object from its initial position when its speed is 15.0 m/s? 22.221 X In order to find the object's position at the given time, you need to integrate the velocity equation.

A car weighing 2.5 metric tons and traveling at 90 km/h hits a 500 m long stretch of black ice. Unfortunately, due to skidding, neither accelerating nor braking has any effect on the speed! The driver manages to maintain steady straight direction of motion and the only impact is provided by the ice friction force, which is numerically equal to 4v² Newtons, where the velocity v of the car is measured in m/sec. (a) Using Newton's Second Law F = ma, set up a mathematical model for the position x(t) and velocity v(t) of the car as functions of time t. Start by drawing a diagram and choosing a consistent system of units based on kg, m, sec (1 ton = 1000 kg, 1 m/sec = 3.6 km/h, 1 N = 1 kg · m/sec²). Introduce and label the variables, show the units and write down the differential equations and the intial conditions. (b) Use the model in part a to calculate v(t) and x(t). Fully show the process of solving the initial value problems. (c) Based on your work so far, how long will it take to pass…
