A friend claims that her car can accelerate from a stop to 60 mi/h (26.8 m/s) in 7.5 s, but the speedometer is broken. You decide to test her claim by riding with her, and you bring along a small metal washer, a short length of string, a protractor, and a pen that can write on glass. Sitting in the passenger seat, you tie the washer to one end of the string and then let the string-washer combination hang straight down by rolling up the passenger-door window to pinch the free end of the string. While the car is stationary, you draw a line on the window alongside the vertical string. Review How large is the angle the string makes with the line you drew if the car accelerates at the rate your friend claims? 0= Submit Part B W V ΑΣΦ 5 Request Answer 11 of 22 ? If an identical washer does not slide on the horizontal dashboard while this is happening, what is the ratio of the frictional force to the gravitational force exerted on this washer?

Sunjamming. A “sun yacht” is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny in everyday circumstances, it can be large enough to send the spacecraft outward from the Sun on a cost-free but slow trip. Suppose that the spacecraft has a mass of 900 kg and receives a push of 20 N. (a) What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration? If the craft starts from rest, (b) how far will it travel in 1 day and (c) how fast will it then be moving?

A 91 kg janitor wearing running shoes is running across an ice rink at a speed of 3.2 m/s. They try to stop abruptly, but keep sliding across the surface of the ice. The ice exerts a frictional force of 13.4 N to slow them down. How far do they travel before halting to a stop?
The friction force that a horizontal surface exerts on a 62 kg object is 23 N. If the initial speed of the object is 27 m/s, what distance will it slide before coming to a stop?
You are working part-time for the GT Sports Media Complex, editing video for the women’s softball team. In one particular clip, a GT player hits a home run over the center field fence. The ball leaves the bat at a height of 4 ft, and crosses the outfield fence (220 ft away) at a height of 10 ft. Logs of the game indicate that the pitch was clocked at 68 mph as it reached the plate. Your frame-by-frame analysis of the 30-frame-per-second video indicate that the ball spent only a single frame in contact with tha bat, and another 126 frames travelling to the outfield fence. A quick internet seach tells you that a typical college softball weighs 0.4 lb. How many pounds of average force act on the ball during ocntact with the bat?
