A. Block on a smooth incline. A block of mass m1 = 3.9 kg on a smooth inclined plane of angle 38 is connected by a cord over a small frictionless
pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 2.6 kg hanging vertically. Take the positive direction up the incline and use 9.81
m/s? for g.
What is the acceleration of each block to 1 decimal place?

Ithink the answer would be 1,350!

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j
