Pat shoots an arrow vertically upward with an initial speed of 25 m/s. When it is exactly halfway to the peak of its flight, he shoots a second arrow vertically upward from the same spot. They collide just as the first arrow reaches its highest point.
(A) What is the Launch Speed of the...
Solved it! I think.
For the Mass on the Surface:
a = (T - Ff) / m1
For the Mass suspended in the air:
a = (Fg - T) / m2
I am not sure which is correct, is a = (Fg - T) / m2 correct and you don't take m1 into account because the force on that is caused by T which is...
Ok, if you had a question where a cart (m1) is resting on a surface, and is attached to a string passing over a frictionless pulley, off of which another mass (m2) is suspended in the air, what is the equation that I use?
It is like an atwood machine, except m1 is on a surface, and, I need to...
