Three masses are connected via light strings and an ideal pulley, as shown below. Mass m2 is twice as massive as m1; m3 is three times as massive as m1. Everything is initially at rest, but then m3 is released, and it falls 1.30m to the floor. If the speed of m3 just before it hits the floor is 3 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the blocks? (Hint: Use an energy analysis)

The pressure, volume, and temperature of a mole of an ideal gas are related by the equation pv = 8.31t, where p is measured in kilopascals, v in liters, and t in kelvins. use differentials to find the approximate change in the pressure if the volume increases from 14 l to 14.6 l and the temperature decreases from 375 k to 370 k. (round the answer to two decimal places.)

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2
