Let's say an astronaut is walking on the moon and wants to test out some basic kinematics. Because there's no atmosphere, there's no air resistance, so the only thing that can cause an object to move faster on the moon is the moon's gravity. Let's say you have a hammer and a feather, each weighing 10.0 kg and 1.00 kg respectively. When you drop them from a height of 1.65 meters, they should both hit the ground at the same time. The gravity on the moon is around 1/6 of what it is on Earth, so you need to figure out how long it'll take for the hammer to reach the ground.
A person catches a ball with a mass of 145 g dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His hand stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball? Assume the ball slows down with constant acceleration.
Baby Kellyn was bouncing up and down in a "bouncy chair" which hangs from a chain that is attached to a spring. At one particular time, after jumping in the air, Kellyn and the chair were moving downward with a speed of 1.7 m/s while speeding up at a rate of 3.3 m/s?. Kellyn has a mass of 4.8 kg and the chair has a mass of 1.2 kg. Calculate the force (in units of newtons) that the chain exerted on the chair at this time. Consider a positive force to point up and a negative force to point down. The sign, positive or negative, of your answer is important.
A 5 kg block is contacting a 3 kg block on a frictionless surface. IF a horizontal force of 8 N is applied from the left to the 5 kg block, what force does the 5 kg block push onto the 3 kg block as they accelerate?
Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 47.2 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 7.58 kg, and this time there is NO friction. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2? 1 7.71 kg 2 11.57 kg 3 6.08 kg 4 17.36 kg
Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 55.7 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 2.73 kg, and this time there is NO friction. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2? a. 2.65 kg b. 3.97 kg c. 1.23 kg d. 5.96 kg
Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 42.7 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 4.44 kg, and this time there is NO friction. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2? 7.03 kg 2.94 kg 10.55 kg 4.69 kg
A 80 kg woman on roller skates pushes a 30 kg girl, also on roller skates, with a force of 100 N. The magnitude of the force exerted by the girl on the woman is O 200 N O 100 N O 50 N O 40 N O 38 N zero
Karen is driving on the 210 freeway in her 3,500 kg Escalade when she sees Hayley driving a Tesla on the street next to the freeway. Karen immediately heads for the off ramp, which has a radius of curvature of 35 m, so she could catch her. If the coefficient of friction between the road and Karen's tires is 0.8, what is the fastest speed Karen can travel and safely make the turn? 10.4 m/s 16.6 m/s O 26.3 m/s 30.2 m/s
Two blocks of masses 20 kg and 8 kg are connected together by a light string and rest on a frictionless level surface. Attached to the 8-kg mass is another light string, which a person uses to pull both blocks horizontally. If the two-block system accelerates at 0.5 m/s 2 what is the tension in the connecting string between the blocks?
A horizontal force of 5.0 N pushes a 0.50-kg block against a vertical wall. The block is initially at rest. If µ. – 0.60 and 0.50, the acceleration of the block is: Ⓒ4.8 m/s² Ⓒ3.8 m/s² Ⓒ 9.8 m/s² 0.0 m/s² 08.0 m/s2
