Slanting Surfaces Without Friction: A system consisting of blocks, a light frictionless pulley, a frictionless incline, and very light connecting wires is shown in the figure. The wires pull on the left-hand blocks parallel to the surface of the ramp. The 9.0-kg block accelerates downward when the system is released gently from rest.(a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the 9.0-kg block?(b) What is the tension in the wire connecting the two blocks on the incline?
What will be an ideal response?
A book is given a brief shove along a table top and released so that it slides a short distance and comes to rest. According to Aristotle, it stopped because

The acceleration of a ball as it rolls down a ramp is 4 m/s2 . The ball is referred to 2 s after it starts to roll. A racecar driver steps on the gas, changing his speed from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 4 seconds. The acceleration of the racecar is 10 m/s2
