Ok so I have already worked these problems out but I'm just wondering what you guys get. Here are the problems:
Bill is in outer space on his way out of L.A. A force of 10 N pushes on Bill. Suddenly, when Bill has reached a speed of 250 mph, another 10 N force, directed opposite to the first force, also pushes on Bill. Now, with both forces acting on Bill, what happens to Bill's speed?
a) Bill will stop.
b) Bill will slow down.
c) Bill will speed up.
d) Bill will continue moving at a constant velocity.
Number 2:
Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 8 kg are connected together by a light string and rest on a frictionless level surface. Attached to the 8 kg mass is another light string which a person uses to pull both blocks horizontally. If the two-block system accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2, then what is the tension in the connecting string between the blocks?
a) 12 N
b) 6.0 N
c) 20 N
d) 4.0 N
Please provide why you feel the answer is right. Feel free to send me an IM. :)
