A stone used in the sport of curling has a mass of 18.0 kg and is initially at rest, sitting on a flat horizontal ice surface. It is pushed with a constant horizontal force of magnitude 24.0 N over a distance of 4.00 m. (Note that in the sport of curling, heavy masses called stones are pushed for a certain distance over a surface of ice before being allowed to continue without pushing. This question only considers the pushing phase. You may assume that any friction between the stone and the ice is negligible.) (a) (i) What is the acceleration of the stone and what is the work done in accelerating it? (ii) By considering the conservation of energy of the stone, calculate the speed of the stone at the end of the push. Show that you have checked that the value for the magnitude of speed and its unit are sensible. (b) How much power is supplied by the person pushing the stone at the beginning of the push and how much is supplied at the end of the push? (c) Starting from your calculated values for acceleration and final speed, calculate the duration of the push. Compare this with the time calculated from the average power supplied during the push and the amount of work done.

You are using a modified block and tackle pulley system to lift a concrete block. You need to lift the concrete block (mass=200kg) a distance of 5 meters upward. The system is designed to reduce the force loaded by a factor of 4. How much rope must you pull down on the other side of the pulley to lift the block the proper distance?
In the figure, a rectangular slab of slate rests on a bedrock surface inclined at angle = 25.6°. The slab has length L = 43.4 m, thickness T = 6.23 m, and width W = 13.6 m, and 1.0 cm³ of it has a mass of 3.2 g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.351. (a) Calculate the component of the gravitational force on the slab parallel to the bedrock surface. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the static frictional force on the slab. By comparing (a) and (b), you can see that the slab is in danger of sliding. This is prevented only by chance protrusions of bedrock. (c) To stabilize the slab, bolts are to be driven perpendicular to the bedrock surface (two bolts are shown). If each bolt has a cross-sectional area of 6.42 cm² and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.57 × 108 N/m², what is the minimum number of bolts needed? Assume that the bolts do not affect the normal force.
You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 43.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 17.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . What speed ? (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.).

A passenger is standing on a scale in an elevator. The building has a height of 500 feet, the passenger has a mass of 80 kg, and the scale has a mass of 7 kg. The scale sits on the floor of the elevator. (It is an Otis elevator, so we will label it as "O" so as not to confuse its forces with those caused by the earth.) You may take g = 10 N/kg. For doing this problem it might be useful to start by drawing free-body diagrams for the passenger and the scale. Consider the vertical forces acting on the passenger and the scale WE→P: The force of the earth pulling down on the passenger (weight). WE→S: The force of the earth pulling down on the scale (weight). NP→S: The force of the passenger pushing down on the scale (normal). NS→P: The force of the scale pushing up on the passenger (normal). NO→S: The force of the elevator pushing up on the scale (normal). NO→P: The force of the elevator pushing up on the passenger (normal). Which of these forces affect the motion of the passenger? Select…
