Two blocks standing on oneanother are pulled with a force F. There's friction between them. With a certain force F the purple block is standing still on the green one (situation 1) because of static friction. Is the netto force working on the green block F+ static friction of the purple block...

Ok the question is
Mass m1 is on an inclined surface at angle @ and is connected to a second hanging block with mass m2 by a cord passing over a small, frictionless pulley. the oeficient of static friction is u and the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk.

An advertisement claims that a particular automobile can "stop on a dime." What net force would actually be necessary to stop an automobile of mass (m) traveling initially at a speed of (v) in a distance equal to the diameter of a dime, which is (d) ?
You have just landed on Planet X. You take out a ball of mass , release it from rest from a height of and measure that it takes a time of to reach the ground. You can ignore any force on the ball from the atmosphere of the planet.
How much does the ball weigh on the surface of Planet X?
In the example i have A block (mass m1 = 22.1 kg) is on a surface inclined at = 33°. It is connected to a mass m2 = 11.2 kg by a massless cord passing over a pulley. The coefficients of friction are µk = 0.15 and µs = 0.25
It asks me for the magnitud of the friction.

I can't figure out how to solve for the minimal speed needed if they only provide me a radius. I am using this formula:
\sqrt{\frac{F*r} {m} }
I simplified to:
\sqrt{g*\mu*r}
,but i don't have no idea how to solve for /mu .
Please some help.
I have a block conected to another block by a string in an inclined surface, with a frictionless pulley. Both blocks are the same weight so i already figure the acceleration of the object that its being pulled up.

I know there are 4.48 N in 1 pound force. The only way I can derive this is dividing 9.8 m/s^2 by 2.2 lbm/kg. The result shows that there 4.48 N in 1 lbm, but shouldn't it be that there are 4.48 N in 1 lbf. Can anyone clear this up or show a better derivation? Thanks
Consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (\theta=\pi/2). In this case, for what value of m_1 would the acceleration of the two blocks be equal to zero?
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m_2 and g.

if you have a Newton's cradle consisting of, say, 5 balls, and you displace 2 of these to the left and let them go, we say they hit the others with velocity v. I was just wondering if the balls would have different velocities at the point of impact since they will have inevitably fallen from...
