Physics & Space Science

You find yourself in a maelstrom, whipped by winds gusting at 10,000 km/hr, rising and falling in convective currents

On the rare occasions when you can assess your surroundings, you notice a horizon that seems to go on "forever" (or, at least, much farther than the horizon on Earth), and no solid surface anywhere. You get a glimpse of several large moons. The Sun races through your sky, requiring only about 5 hours to rise nearly due east, cross the meridian at an altitude of about 55° in the north, and then set due west.

Exhibit 13-1

Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected by a light cord that passes over a pulley of mass M, as shown. Block m2 slides on a frictionless horizontal surface. The blocks and pulley are initially at rest. When m1 is released, the blocks accelerate and the pulley rotates.
