Two horizontal forces act on a 2.0kgchopping block that can slide over a frictionless kitchen counter, which lies in an x-yplane. One force is . Find the acceleration of the chopping block in unit-vector notation when the other force is (a) role="math" localid="1657018090784" (b) Find the acceleration of the chopping block in unit-vector notation when the other force is role="math" localid="1657018141943" and (c) Find the acceleration of the chopping block in unit-vector notation when the other force is
Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. A horizontal force is applied to the larger block, as shown in Figure.
(a) If , find the magnitude of the force between the two blocks. (b) Show that if a force of the same magnitude Fis applied to the smaller block but in the opposite direction, the magnitude of the force between the blocks is , which is not the same value calculated in (a). (c) Explain the difference.

Figure 5-23 shows the same breadbox in four situations where horizontal forces are applied. Rank the situations according to the magnitude of the box鈥檚 acceleration, greatest first.

In shot putting, many athletes elect to launch the shot at an angle that is smaller than the theoretical one (about ) at which the distance of a projected ball at the same speed and height is greatest. One reason has to do with the speed the athlete can give the shot during the acceleration phase of the throw. Assume that a 7.260 kgshot is accelerated along a straight path of length 1.650 mby a constant applied force of magnitude 380.0 N, starting with an initial speed of 2.500 m/s(due to the athlete鈥檚 preliminary motion). (a)What is the shot鈥檚 speed at the end of the acceleration phase if the angle between the path and the horizontal is 30.00掳 and (b)What is the shot鈥檚 speed at the end of the acceleration phase if the angle between the path and the horizontal is 42.00掳? (Hint:Treat the motion as though it were along a ramp at the given angle.) (c) By what percent is the launch speed decreased if the athlete increases the angle from 30.00掳 to42.00掳?
Figure 5-26 shows a train of four blocks being pulled across a frictionless floor by force. What total mass is accelerated to the right by (a) force, (b) cord 3, and (c) cord 1? (d) Rank the blocks according to their accelerations, greatest first. (e) Rank the cords according to their tension, greatest first.
