Two blocks, one of mass 5 kg and the other of mass 2 kg, are attached to opposite ends of a light string and hung vertically from a massless, frictionless pulley. Initially the heavier block is held in place a distance 2.5 m above the floor, the lighter block is just touching the floor, and the cord is taut. Then the heavier block is released and comes crashing to the floor while the cord slackens and the lighter block continues to rise. What is the maximum height reached by the lighter block

In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. a rider is towed at a constant speed by a rope that is at an angle of 15 ∘ from horizontal. the tension in the rope is 1900 n. the force of the sail on the rider is 30∘ from horizontal. what is the weight of the rider? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

The frequencies refer to the sample data collected from a population of interest when performing a hypothesis test comparing two or more population proportions.
