Slope of $x$-$t²$ curve (displacement vs time squared)
I know that slope of $x$ vs $t^2$ curve gives $\frac{a}{2}$. How do I prove it?
This is what I did :
$x = ut + \frac{at^2}{2}$
$x = \frac{at^2}{2}$ (for $u=0$)
$\frac{dx}{dt^2} = \frac{a}{2 …

Massless string vs massless spring in a mass-spring system
Two masses connected by a massless spring, on a frictionless surface , and a force of $60$N is applied to the 15kg mass such that it accelerates at 2 $\frac{m}{s^2}$. What is the acceleration of …

Application of Newton's laws : A system of three blocks [closed]
This is a question from my physics coursebook. Everything in the picture should be self-explanatory. Pulley and string are massless. There is friction between contact surfaces of block A and block C …

How do I prove that this force equation is wrong? [duplicate]
Ok this is a simple setup. Pulley is massless and frictionless. String is massless. Pulley is fixed to a wall. The question asks me to find out the acceleration of the two blocks and the tension forc …

Newton’s second law - a uniform massive rope on a wedge
I am trying to understand this problem intuitively. The wedge accelerates to the left with $a$. According to the solution, the rope on the left must accelerate down the slope with $a\cos\alpha$? And …

How is the external force and the tension force related in this system [closed]
Two bodies, A and B, are connected by a string. The string is massless, inextensible, and is always tight. Also, the surface they are on is frictionless. There is an external force $F_{applied}$ act …
