A 350-g air track cart on a horizontal air track is attached to a string that goes over a frictionless pulley with a moment of inertia of 6.00 × 10-6 kg ? m2 and a radius of 1.35 cm

If the string is pulled vertically downward by a force of 2.50 N, (a) what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart, and (b) what is the tension in the horizontal string between the pulley and the cart?


(a) 6.53 m/s2 (b) 2.29 N

The 500 m-long spaceship Springbrake is at rest on the planet Hitest for refueling. Another spaceship, Summerbrake, passes parallel to Springbrake at 0.600c. The crew on Springbrake measure the length of Summerbrake as it passes and find that the length they measure is exactly the same as the known 500 m rest length of Springbrake. If Summerbrake were at rest next to Springbrake, its length would

then be measured to be a. 180 m. b. 320 m. c. 500 m. d. 625 m. e. 781 m.
