A 20-ton truck collides with a 1500-lb car and causes a lot of damage to the car. During the collision

In the figure, two wooden blocks each of 0.30 kg mass are connected by a string that passes over a very light frictionless pulley. One block slides on a horizontal table, while the other hangs suspended by the string, as shown in the figure. At time t = 0, the suspended block is 0.80 m over the floor, and the blocks are released from rest. After 2.5 s, the suspended block reaches the floor. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the sliding block?

A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and between the lower box and the table is 0.600, while the coefficient of static friction between these same surfaces is 0.800. A horizontal pull to the right is exerted on the lower box, as shown in the figure, and the boxes move together. What is the friction force on the UPPER box?

Two bodies P and Q on a smooth horizontal surface are connected by a light cord. The mass of P is greater than that of Q. A horizontal force (of magnitude F) is applied to Q as shown in the figure, accelerating the bodies to the right. The magnitude of the force exerted by the connecting cord on body P will be

The figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes it 0.90 s to reach the floor. What is the mass m of the other block? The pulley has no appreciable mass or friction.

A system of blocks and a frictionless pulley is shown in the figure. Block A has a mass of 2.0 kg and is on a rough horizontal surface for which μ_s = 0.40 between the surface and block A. The rope pulls horizontally on block A. Block C has a mass of 1.0 kg. An external force P = 23.0 N, applied vertically to block A, maintains the system at rest as shown in the figure. What is the friction force on block A?

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.0-kg box in the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 5.0-kg box, which pushes against the other two boxes. (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes. (b) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0-kg box? (c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0-kg box?

A system comprised blocks, a light frictionless pulley, and connecting ropes is shown in the figure. The 9.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth horizontal table. The surfaces of the 12-kg block are rough, with between the block and the table. If the 5.0-kg block accelerates downward when it is released, find its acceleration.

In order to lift a bucket of concrete, you must pull up harder on the bucket than it pulls down on you.

Two boxes are connected by a weightless cord running over a very light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Box A, of mass 8.0 kg, is initially at rest on the top of the table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between box A and the table is 0.10. Box B has a mass of 15.0 kg, and the system begins to move just after it is released. (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes, identifying all of the forces acting on each one. (b) Calculate the acceleration of each box. (c) What is the tension in the cord?

A system comprising blocks, a light frictionless pulley, a frictionless incline, and connecting ropes is shown in the figure. The 9.0-kg block accelerates downward when the system is released from rest. The tension in the rope connecting the 6.0-kg block and the 4.0-kg block is closest to

Two unequal masses M and m (M > m) are connected by a light cord passing over a pulley of negligible mass, as shown in the figure. When released, the system accelerates. Friction is negligible. Which figure below gives the correct free-body force diagrams for the two masses in the moving system?

The International Space Station has a mass of 1.8 × 10⁵ kg. A 70.0-kg astronaut inside the station pushes off one wall of the station so she accelerates at 1.50 m/s². What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the space station as the astronaut is pushing off the wall? Give your answer relative to an observer who is space walking and therefore does not accelerate with the space station due to the push.

You swing a bat and hit a heavy box with a force of 1500 N. The force the box exerts on the bat is

A 6.00-kg block is in contact with a 4.00-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The 6.00-kg block is being pushed by a horizontal 20.0-N force as shown. What is the magnitude of the force that the 6.00-kg block exerts on the 4.00-kg block?

Block A of mass 5.0 kg and block X are attached to a rope which passes over a pulley, as shown in the figure. An 80-N force P is applied horizontally to block A, keeping it in contact with a rough vertical face.
