Your Physics 4A physics textbook is pressed against the wall by a mysterious floating hand as shown in the figure below. The textbook slides down the wall at a constant acceleration such that its speed decreases by 1.25 m/s every second. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the wall is uk= 0.35. Calculate the force that the hand exerts on the book.
A block of mass 1.96kg is accelerated across a rough surface by a rope passing over a pulley, as shown in the figure below. The tension in the rope is 14.0N, and the pulley is 10.8cm above the top of the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.350. Calculate the value of x at which the acceleration becomes zero.
Many birds can attain very high speeds when diving. Using radar, scientists measured the altitude of a barn swallow in a vertical dive; it dropped 208 m in 3.0 s. The mass of the swallow was estimated to be 0.018 kg, and its cross-section area as 5.6 x 10-4 m2. What was the drag coefficient for this swallow as it dove?
At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 88 m long. It was a rainy day and the coefficient of friction was estimated to be 0.35. a.)Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Antman must supply a force of 8.25x10-3N to a small computer chip to lower it at a constant velocity over a distance of 11.5cm down a slope into a waiting circuit board.
