In the figure, a slab of mass m1 = 40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 = 12 kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force F→ of magnitude 109 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab? (a) Number i^ + j^ Units (b) Number i^ + j^ Units

A block of mass m sits on top of a slab of mass 4 m. The slab rests on a frictionless floor. The coefficient of static friction between the slab and the block is 0.60 whereas the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40 . The block is now pulled by a horizontal force of magnitude F to the left. (a) It is observed that the blocks move together as a system. In this case, is the friction between the contact surfaces of the block and the slab static friction or kinetic friction? Justify. (b) If m = 10 kg, what is the maximum value of the applied horizontal force, F for which the slab and the block move together as a system? (c) If the applied horizontal force is increased beyond the value you determined in part (b), describe what would be the change, if any, in the motion of the block and slab. Explain. (d) For F = 100 N, what would be the accelerations of the slab and the block individually if you expect them to be different?

("yes" or "no") (b) In unit-vector notation Fxi^ + Fyj^, what is the force on the block from the wall? (a) (b) Number i^ + j^ Units

Tarzan, who weighs 870 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 22.2 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 25.2∘ with the vertical. Assume that an x-axis points horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y-axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 787 N. Just then, what are (a) the force from the vine on Tarzan in unit-vector notation, and (b) the net force acting on Tarzan in unit-vector notation? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the direction (measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis) of the net force acting on Tarzan? What are (e) the magnitude and (f) the direction of Tarzan's acceleration just then? (a) Number i^ + j^ Units (b) Number i^ + j^ Units (c) Number Units (d) Number Units (e) Number Units (f) Number Units
