2. A man is riding his bicycle at 8.5 m/s. When a car cuts in front of him, he decelerates at a rate of -2.8 m/s?. How long does it take him to stop? How far has he moved during
that time frame?

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
