Block 8 is released and it falls vertically. The thread remains loose until block B has fallen a distance
of 0.45 m.

When the thread tightens, it pulls on block A which moves to the right.

Both of the blocks now move at a constant speed of 0.60 m / s until block B hits the ground and the
thread becomes loose.

Explain the energy change that takes place in block A after block B stops moving.

One tube is made of plastic and the other tube is made of copper. The two cylindrical tubes have
identical dimensions.

The magnetic field of the small, cylindrical magnet is extremely strong.

Initially, the magnet is at rest at the top of the plastic tube.

The magnet is released and it falls through the plastic tube without experiencing a resistive force.
The magnet takes 0.67 s to fall to the lower end of the plastic tube.

The mass of the magnet is 0.012 kg.

The power of the heater is 50 W. The mass of the sand in the cup is 550 g. The initial temperature
of the sand is 20 °C. The heater is switched on for 2.0 minutes. The temperature is recorded until
the temperature stops increasing. The highest temperature recorded by the thermometer is 33 °c.
