    Hello. I am inquiring about how a pressure difference between a hot room (roughly room temperature) and a cold room (roughly the temperature of a standard refrigerator) can cause a force inside the cold room when exposed to its hotter counterpart. More specifically, I would like to apply this...

    Finding Velocity of a System with Work and Energy

    Oh, okay. Thank you for that. I would then assume that we wouldn't really be able to find out the tensile force with Newton's Second Law because you would need something for the acceleration of one of the masses, correct?

    Finding Velocity of a System with Work and Energy

    Homework Statement The coefficient of friction between the block of mass m1 = 3.00 kg and the surface shown is µk = 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass m2 = 5.00 kg when it has fallen a distance h = 1.50 m? Note that this is just a generic picture of...
