    1) A student named Lorena Argueta completed 10 physics homework problems involving forces, accelerations, and inclines. The problems calculate things like the force needed to accelerate a sled, the tension in ropes used to accelerate objects, the acceleration of objects being lowered or sliding down inclines. 2) Problem 10 involves two masses on inclined planes connected by a cord, and calculates the acceleration of the system in terms of the masses and incline angles, and the conditions needed for the system to be at rest or move at constant speed. 3) Lorena provided the calculations and reasoning for each problem.

    Homework

    1) What force is needed to accelerate a child on a sled (total mass=55kg) at 1.4m/s s?

    F = ma
    F = (55kg)(1.4m/s2)
    F = 77N

    2) How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 1210 kg car horizontally
    along a frictionless surface at 1.20 m/s2?

    Ft – mg =ma
    Ft = ma + mg = m (a + g)
    Ft = 1210 (9.81 + 1.2)
    Ft = 13,322.1 N

    3) A 14 kg bucket is lowered vertically by a rope in which there is 163 N of tension at a given


    instant. What is the acceleration of the bucket? Is it up or down?

    Ft – mg = ma
    F t−mg
    =a
    m
    163−(14∗9.81)
    =a
    14
    a=1.83 m/s 2, down

    4) A 2.50 kg block is sliding down a frictionless 36.9° incline. Find the acceleration of the block.
    Assume down the incline is the positive direction.

    5) A 0.0450 kg golf ball is hit off the tee by Tiger at speed 50.0 m/s. Assume the ball is in contact
    with the golf club for 2.50x10-3s. Find the average force exerted on the ball.

    6) Assume a 20.0 N net force accelerates an object at 5.00 m/s 2. Find the object's acceleration if the
    net force is decreased to 15.0 N.
    7) A 4.50 kg block is released with zero speed at the top of a 2.00 m long frictionless 50° incline. (a)
    Find the acceleration of the block. (b) Find the speed of the block at the bottom of the incline.

    8) Two snowcats in Antarctica are towing a housing unit to a new location as shown. The sum of the
    forces FA and FB exerted on the unit by the horizontal cables is parallel to the line L, and
    FA=4500N. Determine FB and the magnitude of FA + FB.

    9) Three blocks on a frictionless horizontal surface are in contact with each other as shown. A force
    F=7.5 N is applied to block A. If block A has a mass of m A=3.0kg, block B has a mass of
    mB=9.0kg, and block C has a mass of mC=6.0kg, determine the force that black B exerts on block
    A, and the force that block C exerts on block B.

    10) The masses mA and mB slide on the smooth (frictionless) inclines fixed as shown. (a) Determine a
    formula for the acceleration of the system in terms of m A, mB, θA, θB and g. (b) If θA =32o, θB=23o,
    and mA=5.0kg, what value of mB would keep the system at rest? What would be the tension in the
    cord (negligible mass) in this case? (c) What ratio m A/mB would allow the masses to move at a
    constant speed along their ramps in either direction?
