a. On the diagram below, draw and label all the forces acting on each
block.
c. In terms of L, a1, and a2 find the time t needed for the small block to
slide off the end of the larger block.
c. Find the minimum speed that the car can reach before sliding down
the bank. On the diagram below, show and label all the forces
acting on the car at this speed.
b. On the diagram below show and label all forces acting on the
sphere after it was falling for a long time and the terminal velocity is
reached.
7. A car of mass m, initially at rest at time t = 0, is driven to the right along a straight
line on a horizontal road. The engine applies a constant force Fo. While moving,
the car encounters a resistance force Fr = - kv, where v is the velocity of the car
and k is a positive constant.
a. On the diagram below, show and label all forces acting on the car
as it moves to the right.
d. Solve the differential equation for the block’s velocity and present it
in terms of m, b, g, θ and t.
a. Draw and label a free-body diagram showing all the forces acting
on the block.
e. The applied force can be large enough to levitate the block above
the surface. Derive an expression for the maximum acceleration of
the block that enables it to maintain contact with the surface.

11. A small box of mass m1 is placed on a long platform of mass m2. The system of
two objects is accelerated to the right by a force applied to m1. There is a
maximum value of force, F = Fo, such that the box and platform move together
without slipping. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the
platform is µk, and the coefficient of static friction between the box and the
platform is µs, and there is no friction between the platform and the surface it
rides on.
a. What is the acceleration of the system of the box and the platform
when the applied force is Fo?
b. What is the acceleration of the box when the applied force F > Fo?
c. What is the acceleration of the platform when the applied force F >
Fo?
d. At what minimum value of F will the box start moving forward on the
platform?
a. On the diagram, show and label all forces applied on each block as
mA is moving down.
b. Find the mass of block A so that the system moves with a constant
speed.
a. Find the largest mass MC of block C that will not allow the two
blocks to slide on the tabletop; assume the blocks don’t slip on
each other.
b. Find the minimum value of mass MC that block C can have so the
blocks will move at a constant non zero speed when the system is
released, with block B remaining at the same relative position on
block A.
b. What is the friction force between the ring and the rope?
Now with new masses, the ring moves down at a constant acceleration, a, with
respect to the rope.
d. What is the friction force between the ring and the rope, in terms of
M, m, g and a?
