An 8.50 kg point mass and a 13.0 kg point mass are held in place 50.0 cm apart. A particle of mass mm is released from a point between the two masses 18.0 cmcm from the 8.50 kg mass along the line connecting the two fixed masses. Required:
Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle.

•• al and bert are jogging side-by-side on a trail in the woods at a speed of 0.75 m/s. suddenly al sees the end of the trail 35 m ahead and decides to speed up to reach it. he accelerates at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s2, while bert continues on at a constant speed. (a) how long does it take al to reach the end of the trail? (b) once he reaches the end of the trail, he immediately turns around and heads back along the trail with a constant speed of 0.85 m/s. how long does it take him to meet up with bert? (c) how far are they from the end of the trail when they meet?

Acaterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. eventually, it reaches the top. when it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. what is the total displacement traveled?

Which of the following best describes internal energy? a. the difference between the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a system b. the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a system c. the sum of the kinetic and thermal energies of the particles in a system d. the difference between the kinetic and thermal energies of the particles in a system
