Maths (Mechanics Help)

[url]http://i49.tinypic.com/2vvmlbt.jpg[/url] I'm stuck on these questions based on inclined planes and pulley systems z.z I'm ok with question 1 on impulses and change in momentum, but the rest is just gwaah. Help would be appreciated

    Ok Part E, ok, when P hits the ground, Q is still moving upward. The problem then becomes like throwing a ball up in the air - the ball goes up, and then must come back to where it started. The left mass hit the ground at 1.5 seconds, so the right mass becomes a ball thrown up in the air at 1.5 seconds. It had been accelerated at a rate of 2.8 m/s^2 for 1.5 seconds, so we need to calculate its velocity. Once we know its velocity, it simply becomes a problem of determining how long the ball is in the air. (What I had before about determining velocity I believe is wrong, I don't remember the equation off the top of my head and don't want to confuse you with calculus, look the formula up yourself).

    Part E... eh. I'll have to think about that a little bit. (added units to the solutions below)

  • Finally, part D, you used the information that the string can't stretch to determine the tension within the string.

    Since the left mass is accelerating at 2.8 m/s^2, the right mass is accelerating at -2.8 m/s^2. MA = Fg - Ft... but A is negative, so flip Ft and Fg. Ft - Fg = MA. You know Ft now, Fg is 9.8*M. You need to use algebra to isolate the M. A is 2.8. M(A + 9.8) = Ft. Ft is 3.5, so M = .27777, which is 5/18 kg.

    Tension in the string... MA = Fg-Ft You know A is 2.8, M is .5, Fg is 4.9 (9.8*.5), solve for Ft. Ft is 3.5 Newtons.

    Part A is a basic acceleration velocity distance equation. 1/2 a t^2 = X where x is 3.15 and t is 1.5 A is 2.8 m/s^2.
