A projectile is launched at a speed of 20 m/s and at an angle of 25 degrees above the horizontal. What is the maximum height of the projectile?
There's a hanging mass, and a cart attached to it via a string.
1) If the hanging mass is much heavier than the mass of the cart, what would be the acceleration of the system? Explain why.
2) If the hanging mass and the cart were the exact same mass, what would be the acceleration of the system? Explain why.
No values are required! Just a general explanation. Please try to explain in words (Ex. the acceleration would be zero because...) instead of just formulas, it helps me understand better! You may use formulas to represent what you are saying but I'd like a more wordy explanation. Thanks so much.
