You will use this problem for Questions 7 and 8. Read carefully! Free body diagrams will be graded in the written work. Mass 1 sits on a frictionless table, and mass 2 is attached to mass 1 by a string laid over a pulley as shown in the diagram. If a force of 10 N pulls on mass 1 as shown, (a) find the acceleration of the blocks and (b) find the tension in the string. For this question, enter the answer for part (a) – the acceleration of the blocks.

You will use this problem for Questions 13, 14, and 15. Read carefully. A pumpkin is launched from the ground level and is aimed at a 10.7 meter tall cliff some distance away. The pumpkin is launched with an initial velocity of 18 m/s at an angle of 55° and it lands 5 m past the edge of the cliff. (a) How long (in seconds) is it in the air before it lands on the top of the cliff? (b) How far away (in meters) is the cliff? (c) Find the maximum height of the pumpkin.
