As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a slope of angle o up to a vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply, as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. The mass of rocks that you put into the anchor bag is equal to the mass of food in the other bag. What will be the acceleration a of the food bag when you let go of the anchor bag? Assume that the weight of the rope is negligible, and that the ice can be considered frictionless. Express the resulting acceleration a of the food bag in terms of o and g, the acceleration due to gravity. Let the positive direction for this bag be downwards. g(m-m' sin(0)) a = m+m'

You and your friends pull your car off a mountain road onto an overlook to take pictures of the frozen lake below. You lose your footing on the packed snow, fall over the cliff, and land in a soft snow bank on a ledge, 10 feet below the edge. The cliff's wall is too smooth to climb upwards and too steep and dangerous to climb the remaining 300 feet to the bottom. While trying to think your way out of your predicament, you realize one reason you had slipped was that you had misjudged how the cliff sloped towards the edge (a decline of about 5-10 degrees). There is nothing near the edge to which your friends can tie a rope, and they fear the footing is too slippery for them to pull you to the top. However, they can get the car close enough to the edge to tie the rope to the bumper and hang it over the edge. You are worried, however, that the car might slip over the edge as well. On your phone (which has survived the fall) you look up the coefficient of static friction of snow tires on…
Calculate the force needed to bring a 900 kg car to rest from a speed of 90.0 km/h in a distance of 110 m (a fairly typical distance for a nonpanic stop).N(b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force exerted on the car and compare it with the force found in part (a), i.e. find the ratio of the force in part(b) to the force in part(a).(force in part (b) / force in part (a))
A 2414kg car is going up the Amerat hill, at angle 7.8, with 4 people inside the car each of 41kg. The car suspension provides 1326N of lift, and it is accelerating up at 7m/s2. The road provides u=0.4. What is the force provided by the engine? If needed, use g=9.81m/s² Answer: 22975 N The correct answer is: 30970.3 N

In a 30°-rough incline, a 1.25 kg block is initially at rest beside a spring that is compressed by 24 cm as shown in the figure below. The spring has a spring constant of 180 N/m and the coefficient of sliding friction between the incline and the block is 0.23. When the spring is released, how far up the incline (with respect to its initial position) will the block slide before sliding back? ww 30⁰
The dog stole the baby's dirty diaper that Kristan had just changed and was getting ready to throw away. The dog weighs 15kg and the diaper weighs 2kg. The dog runs outside and climbs up the stairs to the playhouse where it accidentally steps a little too far in the slide causing the dog to slide down the slide with the diaper in his mouth. The height of the slide is 1.5m high off the ground. What is the change of potential energy of the dog assuming it started at rest and slid all the way to the ground?
