In the figure, a 3.7 kg block slides along a track from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed is vo = 7.2 m/s, the height difference is h = 1.2 m, and Hg = 0.579. Find d. μ= 0- Number Units
A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.632 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing. Water slide Number i Units < -5.00 m-
A 52 kg skier starts from rest at height H = 17 m above the end of a ski-jump ramp (see the figure). As the skier leaves the ramp, his velocity makes an angle of 0 = 25° with the horizontal. Neglect the effects of air resistance and assume the ramp is frictionless. (a) What is the maximum height h of his jump above the end of the ramp? (b) If he increased his weight by putting on a 10 kg backpack, what would h be? End of H ramp (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units >
A block is placed on a frictionless ramp at a height h; of 14.5 m above the ground. Starting from rest, the block slides down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the block slides onto a frictionless horizontal track without slowing down. At the end of the horizontal track, the block slides smoothly onto a second frictionless ramp. 01 = 43.3° 02 = 19.5° How far along the second ramp does the block travel before coming to a momentary stop, as measured along the incline of the ramp? distance traveled along second ramp: m After the block comes to a complete stop on the second ramp, it will then begin moving back down the second ramp. What is the speed of the block when it is 9.25 m, vertically, above the ground? speed of the block: m/s
A two-man bobsled has a mass of 290 kg. Starting from rest, the two racers push the sled for the first 50 m with a net force of 370 N. Neglecting friction, what is the sled's speed at the end of the 50 m? 7.8 m/s 2.9 m/s 11.3 m/s 8.9 m/s 4.7 m/s
You throw a rock of mass 0.750 kg straight up in the air with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. Throughout the flight of the rock assume there’s a constant air resistance force of magnitude 1.25 N acting on it. The trajectory of the rock is vertically up and down, with no horizontal motion. (a) What is the maximum height reached by the rock? (b) What is the speed of the rock when it returns to the point of release?
The elevator car, including passengers, has a mass of 1800 kg. Each floor of the building is separated by 4 m (i.e., the ground floor is at 0 m, the 1st floor is at 4 m, the 2nd floor is at 8 m, etc.) and the top floor is the 10th floor. The elevator goes up from the ground floor, accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches the 1st floor at a speed of 1 m/s. It then maintains a constant speed, before decelerating (again at a constant rate) back to rest from the 9th to the 10th floor. a. Assuming that friction and drag forces are negligible, what is the maximum power output required for the elevator motor? b. How much work is done by the tension force (in the cable that pulls the elevator car up) from the ground floor to the 1st floor? From the 1st floor to the 9th floor? From the 9th floor to the 10th floor? c. How much work is done by the gravitational force from the ground floor to the 1st floor? From the 1st floor to the 9th floor? From the 9th floor to the 10th floor?
