5. Draw a proper free body diagram for the cart of weight W shown below. If the cable suddenly snaps, what will be the cart's velocity after it has rolled a distance of 5.0 m? You may assume that the cart rolls smoothly on the surface (no friction).

Step 1
First, we need to find the acceleration of the cart when the cable snaps. Since there is no friction, the only force acting on the cart is its weight, W. The acceleration of the cart will be due to gravity, g. Show more…

A cart rolls along a flat surface under the influence of a cable tension, as shown. At the instant shown, the cart is moving up the ramp. a. If the cart is speeding up, what's draw the part of the acceleration associated with changing speed. b. What's the part of the acceleration associated with turning? c. Draw the direction of the total acceleration vector. d. Draw the direction of the net force. 2. Again, a cart rolls along a flat surface under the influence of a cable tension, as shown in the figure from #1. At the instant shown, the cart is moving up the ramp. a. If the cart is slowing down, what's draw the part of the acceleration associated with changing speed. b. What's the part of the acceleration associated with turning? c. Draw the direction of the total acceleration vector. d. Draw the direction of the net force.

What horizontal force must be applied to the cart shown in Figure P5.61 in order that the blocks remain stationary relative to the cart? Assume all surfaces, wheels, and pulley are frictionless. (Hint: Note that the force exerted by the string accelerates $m_{1} . )$
Draw a free body diagram for the cart moving toward the pulley at a constant velocity (moving in the +x direction). Label the mass of the cart as mc. Indicate the direction of all velocities and accelerations on your free body diagram. Calculate the magnitude of the frictional force on the cart in terms of mc and a. Show your work. mc = 0.297 kg and a = 0.233 m/s^2 and the hanging mass is 0.005 kg. Now calculate the amount of mass that must be added to the hanger (0.005 kg) so that the cart will have zero acceleration when moving toward the pulley.
