Problem 1: A book is resting on a frictionless table until someone suddenly starts applying a constant force on it right until it reaches the end of the table. The book was constantly accelerating until it reached the end of the table. First, write down your thinking process as in the previous example, and then draw in the space provided below the book's motion diagram along with the velocity, acceleration, and force vectors. Draw book's motion diagram with velocity, acceleration, and force vectors. (Hint: Since the motion s horizontal, draw a horizontal motion diagram.)

Learning Goal: Once you have decided to solve a problem using Newton's 2nd law, there are steps that will lead you to a solution. One such prescription is the following: • Visualize the problem and identify special cases. Isolate each body and draw the forces acting on it. Choose a coordinate system for each body. Apply Newton's 2nd law to each body. • Write equations for the constraints and other given information. • Solve the resulting equations symbolically. ● Check that your answer has the correct dimensions and satisfies special cases. ● ● ● • If numbers are given in the problem, plug them in and check that the answer makes sense. • Think about generalizations or simplifications of the problem. As an example, we will apply this procedure to find the acceleration of a block of mass m2 that is pulled up a frictionless plane inclined at angle with respect to the horizontal by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley to a block of mass m₁ that is hanging…
