A mass m1 = 5.0 kg collides with a mass m2.  The mass m2 accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 and m1 decelerates at 6.0  m/s2.  What is the mass of  m2?

p7.png Two objects are connected by a rope over a massless, frictionless, pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction  the surface and m2 is m = 2.5.   Assume m2 slides up the ramp, and determine the Tension in the string connecting the masses for m1 = 40.0 kg, m2 = 10.0 kg, and q = 30.00

p7.png Two objects are connected by a rope over a massless, frictionless, pulley. Take the surface m2 sits on as frictionless and determine the acceleration of the objects for m1 = 10 kg, m2 = 15 kg, and q = 300 Take the acceleration as positive if m1 falls and negative if m1 rises.

p5.png Two objects are connected by a rope over a massless, frictionless, pulley as shown.  Determine tension in the rope connecting the objects the objects for m1 = 8.0 kg, and m2 = 12.0 kg. 

p13.png The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and m2 is μ = 0.30.  Determine the acceleration of the masses for m1 = 15.0 kg and m2 = 10.0 kg.

A satellite of mass 500 kg undergoes a circular orbit of radius 8000 km and a constant speed of 7060 m/s.  What is the acceleration of the satellite?

A satellite of mass 500 kg undergoes a circular orbit of radius 8000 km and a constant speed of 7060 m/s.  What is the force on the satellite?

p4.png A way to simulate gravity in space is to shape the space station like a cylindrical shell that rotates, with the astronauts living on the inside surface as shown.  If the radius of the space station is 750 m, at what angular speed would it have to rotate so that the astronauts experience the same normal force standing on the station that they would on Earth?
