Question 23 Two frisky otters slide down frictionless hillsides of the same height but different slopes. The slope of the hill of otter 1 is 30°, while the slope of the hill of otter 2 is 60°. If both start from rest, which otter is moving faster when she reaches the bottom of her hill? O The otter that took the shorter time is moving faster. O Otter 2 is moving faster. O The heavier otter is moving faster, no matter which hill she used. O Otter 1 is moving faster. O Both otters have the same speed at the bottom.
The three spheres in the figure, with masses mA = 79 g, mB = 7 g, and mc = 22 g, have their centers on a common line, with L = 21 cm and d = 4 cm. You move sphere B along the line until its center-to-center separation from C is d = 4 cm. How much work is done on sphere B(a) by you and (b) by the net gravitational force on B due to spheres A and C? (a) Number i (b) Number i B Units Units C ✪ ✪

You are working with a movie director and investigating a scene with a cowboy sliding off a tree limb and falling onto the saddle of a moving horse. The distance of the fall is several meters, and the calculation shows a high probability of injury to the cowboy from the stunt. Let's look at a simpler situation. Suppose the director asks you to have the cowboy step off a platform 2.55 m off the ground and land on his feet on the ground. The cowboy keeps his legs straight as he falls, but then bends at the knees as soon as he touches the ground. This allows the center of mass of his body to move through a distance of 0.670 m before his body comes to rest. (Center of mass will be formally defined in Linear Momentum and Collisions.) You assume this motion to be under constant acceleration of the center of mass of his body. To assess the degree of danger to the cowboy in this stunt, you wish to calculate the average force upward on his body from the ground, as a multiple of the cowboy's…

Consider a flat-bed truck whose mass, including its contents, is supported equally by its four tires. Assume the truck has four-wheel drive, so the drive train translates the power of the motor equally to all four wheels. The mass of just the truck is m2, and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs. A metal crate of mass m1 sits on the flat, horizontal, wooden bed of the truck, and μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bed and the metal crate. Part (b) Assume the crate slips in the bed of the truck as the truck is accelerating. Write an expression for the maximum possible acceleration of the truck so that its tires don't slip. The picture is a hint that they provided
