A block of mass m = 3.20 x 10² g is dragged with a string across a rough horizontal table. The string tension is T = 2.47 N, and it pulls upward at an angle of d = 49.0⁰ with the horizontal. At one particular instant, the block is moving at a speed of u = 6.10 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is k = 0.594. What is the power Pr supplied to the block by the string tension? PT = W m Ø 7

A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
A particle moves in a medium under the influence of a retarding force equal to mk(υ3+ a2υ), where k and a are constants. Show that for any value of the initial speed the particle will never move a distance greater than π/2kaand that the particle comes to rest only for t → ∞.
An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. What maximum height does she reach? (a) 13 m (b) 2.3 m (c) 3.7 m (d) 0.27 m (e) The answer cant be determined because the mass of the athlete isnt given.
If the vector components of the position of a particle moving in the xy plane as a function of time are x(t)=(2.5ms2)t2i and y(t)=(5.0ms3)t3j, when is the angle between the net force on the particle and the x axis equal to 45?

A 75.0-g arrow, fired at a speed of 110 m/s to the left, impacts a tree, which it penetrates to a depth of 12.5 cm before coming to a stop. Assuming the force of friction exerted by the tree is constant, what are the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the arrow?
A student working on a school project modeled a trampoline as a spring obeying Hookes law and measured the spring constant of a certain trampoline as 4617 N/m. If a child of mass 27.0 kg compresses the trampoline vertically by a maximum of 0.25 m, while bouncing up and down, what is the childs acceleration at the moment of maximum compression?
A student is asked to measure the acceleration of a glider on a frictionless, inclined plane, using an air track, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. The top of the track is measured to be 1.774 cm higher than the bottom of the track, and the length of the track is d = 127.1 cm. The cart is released from rest at the top of the incline, taken as x = 0, and its position x along the incline is measured as a function of time. For x values of 10.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 35.0 cm, 50.0 cm, 75.0 cm, and 100 cm, the measured times at which these positions are reached (averaged over five runs) are 1.02 s, 1.53 s, 2.01 s, 2.64 s, 3.30 s, and 3.75 s, respectively. (a) Construct a graph of x versus t2, with a best-fit straight line to describe the data. (b) Determine the acceleration of the cart from the slope of this graph. (c) Explain how your answer to part (b) compares with the theoretical value you calculate using a = g sin as derived in Example 4.3.
A 0.400-kg pendulum bob passes through the lowest part of its path at a speed of 3.00 m/s. (a) What is the tension in the pendulum cable at this point if the pendulum is 80.0 cm long? (b) When the pendulum reaches its highest point, what angle does the cable make with the vertical? (c) What is the tension in the pendulum cable when the pendulum reaches its highest point?
One great form of athletic competition for bulldogs, American pit bull terriers, huskies, and many other breeds is the weight pull. Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, k, between the sled and the pulling surface. (The sled is normally on a set of rails.)
