Objects X and Y are connected by a string of negligible mass and suspended vertically over a pulley of negligible mass, creating an Atwood's machine, as shown in the figure. The objects are initially at rest, and the mass of object Y is greater than the mass of object X. As object Y falls, how does the kinetic
energy of the center of mass of the two-object system change? Justify your selection. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible.
А
The kinetic energy increases because the gravitational force due to Earth does positive net work on the system.
B
The kinetic energy increases because the gravitational force due to Earth does negative net work on the system.
с
The kinetic energy decreases because the gravitational force due to Earth does positive net work on the system.
D
The kinetic energy decreases because the gravitational force due to Earth does negative net work on the system.

At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.
