The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Chapter 6.2, Problem 2EYU

When a mass is attached to a certain spring, the spring stretches by the amount x. Suppose we now connect two of these springs together in series, as shown in Figure 6-16. If we attach the same mass to this system, is the amount of stretch greater than, less than, or equal to x? Explain.

Problem 1: A) Energy Methods Look at the below system. Using the conservation of energy method, solve for the governing equation of motion for the system. Put a box around your final answer. Also, put a box around your equations for the potential and kinetic energy of the system. Assume the system’s springs are initially unstretched (i.e., assume that there is no gravity until t = 0 [s]). B) Numerical Methods Using ode45, your answer to problem 1, and the following initial conditions and system parameters, plot the response of the above system in MATLAB for at least 5 complete oscillations, and no more than 20 oscillations. m = 72 (if your last 2 digits are 00, than assume m = 1) [kg] k1 = 673 [N/m] k2 = 880 digits of your student ID [N/m] g = 9.81 [m/s2] x0 = 0 [m] v0 = 0 [m/s]

Constants | Periodic Table Learning Goal: To apply the law of conservation of energy to an object launched upward in the gravitational field of the earth. First, let us consider an object launched vertically upward with an initial speed v. Neglect air resistance. In the absence of nonconservative forces such as friction and air resistance, the total mechanical energy in a closed system is conserved. This is one particular case of the law of conservation of energy. Part A In this problem, you will apply the law of conservation of energy to different objects launched from the earth. The energy transformations that take place involve the object's kinetic energy K = (1/2)mv and its gravitational potential energy U=mgh. The law of conservation of energy for such cases implies that the sum of the object's kinetic energy and potential energy does not change with time. This idea can be expressed by the equation As the projectile goes upward, what energy changes take place? O Both kinetic and…

Constants | Periodic Table Two children are trying to shoot a marble of mass m into a small box using a spring-loaded gun that is fixed on a table and shoots horizontally from the edge of the table. (Figure 1)The edge of the table is a height H above the top of the box (the height of which is negligibly small), and the center of the box is a distance d from the edge of the table. The spring has a spring constant k. The first child compresses the spring a distance z, and finds that the marble falls short of its target by a horizontal distance di2. Part A By what distance, z2, should the second child compress the spring so that the marble lands in the middle of the box? (Assume that height of the box is negligible, so that there is no chance that the marble wilIl hit the side of the box before it lands in the bottom.) Express the distance in terms of m, k, g, H. and d. • View Available Hint(s) ? Hνα ΑΣφ I2 = Submit Part B Complete previous part(s) Next > Provide Feedback 1 of 1 Figure…
