A toy car of mass 6 kg moving in a straight path, experiences a net force given by the function F = -3t. At time t=0, the car has a velocity of 4 m/s in the positive direction and is located +8 m from the origin. The car will come instantaneously to rest at time t equal to

2/3 s

sqrt( 4/3 ) s

sqrt( 8/3 ) s

sqrt( 8) s

A block of mass M = 5kg is placed on an incline of $\theta$ = 30 degrees. There is a frictional force opposing the movement of the block with a coefficient of friction, $\mu$ = 0.2. Determine the acceleration of the block. Draw a free body diagram to help find the answer.

Determine the acceleration of the system if M = 10 kg and m = 30 kg and $\theta$ = 30 degrees. Determine the tension in the rope as well.
