Consider two boxes initially at rest as shown, each of mass 5.0 kg, that are connected by a massless string over a pulley of radius 5.0 cm and rotational inertia equal to 4.0 x 10-3 kg·m². The coefficient of kinetic friction between the inclined surface and the box is 0.15. Find the speed of the boxes just after they have moved 1.0 m. Justify approach taken as you begin your solution. 30° m m
A package of mass 7 kg sits at the equator of an airless asteroid of mass 4.0 1020 kg and radius 5.9 105 m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 188 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.1 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring?
See Conceptual Example 6 to review the concepts involved in this problem. A 10.8-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume a radial distance of 61.6 cm is between the branch and the point where the monkey's mass is located. As the monkey swings through the lowest point on the circle, it has a speed of 1.99 m/s. Find (a) the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey and (b) the magnitude of the tension in the monkey's arm. (a) Number (b) Number Units Units #
A physics experiment is set up using two pulleys, a string, and a weight as shown below. The larger pulley has a radius of 14 centimeters, and the smaller pulley has a radius of 8 centimeters. The distance between the centers of the pulleys is 56 centimeters. The string is pulled tightly across both pulleys so that F is a common tangent of the pulleys. Find the length of string from A to B to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. A weight O 56.0 cm O 22.0 cm O 55.7 cm O 58.5 cm
You are a bully. You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal. The dweeb's back is so sweaty with fear that there is no friction between his back and the wall. What is the magnitude of the force , in N, you must apply to keep the dweeb in equilibrium? (Use g = 10 m/s2) This scenario is represented schematically below. Unfortunately for you, years later the dweeb is your boss and he makes your life miserable. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 12.3445)
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.
A student is skateboarding down a ramp that is 6.02 m long and inclined at 22.3° with respect to the horizontal. The initial speed of the skateboarder at the top of the ramp is 4.98 m/s. Neglect friction and find the speed at the bottom of the ramp.
You are driving your car on a straight road with a coefficient of friction between the tires and the road of 0.55. A large piece of debris falls in front of your view and you immediate slam on the brakes, leaving a skid mark of 30.5 m (100-feet) long before coming to a stop. A policeman sees your car stopped on the road, looks at the skid mark, and gives you a ticket for traveling over the 13.4 m/s (30 mph) speedlimit. Draw the FBD of the car with complete details.
5. Consider a frictionless ice ball with a radius R = 10 m. A box initially at rest begins to slip from the top of the ice ball, and follows the surface until it loses contact. Find the height (with the ground as the reference) of the box at the moment it leaves the surface of the ice ball. [Hint: on the verge of losing contact the normal force on the box from the ice ball becomes zero].
A ball of mass m is attached to a string of length L. It is being swung in a vertical circle with enough speed so that the string remains taut throughout the ball's motion. (Figure 1)Assume that the ball travels freely in this vertical circle with negligible loss of total mechanical energy. At the top and bottom of the vertical circle, the ball's speeds are vt and vb, and the corresponding tensions in the string are Tvect and Tvecb. Tvect and Tvecb have magnitudes Tt and Tb. Find Tb−Tt, the difference between the magnitude of the tension in the string at the bottom relative to that at the top of the circle. Express the difference in tension in terms of m and g. The quantities vt and vb should not appear in your final answer.
A movie stunt performer is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't break while swinging. The stunt performer's mass is 86.0 kg, the vine is 11.0 m long, and the speed of the stunt performer at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 8.20 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking?
When you take your 1900-kg car out for a spin, you go around a corner of radius 51 m with a speed of 16 m/s. The coefficient of static friction between the car and the road is 0.88. Assuming your car doesn't skid, what is the force exerted on it by static friction?
