I was given this problem, and I don't really know what to do about the fact that the normal force doesn't equal the weight for this problem. How am I supposed to find the kinetic friction coefficient now? A box of mass 2,463g is on level ground being pulled by a force of 6.41N at angle 47.2 above horizontal. If the block is moving with a constant velocity, what is the kinetic friction coefficient? (Hint: the normal force does not always equal the weight; it does not in this case.)
A skyscraper elevator travels 20 mm while reaching its cruising speed of 10 m/s. A 90 kg passenger gets aboard on the ground floor just as the doors are closing. What is the passenger's weight just as the doors close?
A 747 jetliner lands and begins to slow to a stop as it moves along the runway. If its mass is 3.56×105 kg, its speed is 73.0 m/s, and the net braking force is 4.30×105N, what is its speed 12.0 s later? How far has it traveled in this time?
Mary applies a force of 77 N to push a box with an acceleration of 0.55 m/s2. When she increases the pushing force to 85 N, the box's acceleration changes to 0.71 m/s2. There is a constant friction force present between the floor and the box. (a) What the mass of the box in kilograms? kg (b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the box?
A heavy man’s resting weight is 1029 N. He is standing on a scale on an elevator that has a mass (without the man) of 1250 kg. While the elevator is in motion the man’s apparent weight reads 1134 N. The tension on the cable supporting the elevator is (in N)? The answer is 14,634 N but I do not know how to get the answer. Please provide a detailed explanation.
A car (mass = 2,335 kg) is traveling +5.8 m/s when the driver applies the brakes. The car moves 75.3 m before it comes to a complete stop. What is the force applied by the breaks (assuming it remains constant). Use g=9.8
A student wants to angle a ramp such that if she releases a 2.8kg cart at the top of a ramp, the cart will travel 210cm and hit the end of the ramp in 1.6s. Neglect backwards friction and drag. What does the magnitude of the net force on the cart need to be? What does the magnitude of the cart's acceleration need to be? At what incline angle (0) does the ramp need to be slanted? m/s2 What will be the maximum speed of the cart? m/s cannot be detem check answers
The rocket in a rocket-powered airplane generates a steady force of 10,000 N in the forward direction and the plane moves horizontally at a constant velocity of 300 m/s through the air. The rocket engine is upgraded so that it now provides a forward force of 90,000 N. What is the new constant velocity of the plane? You cannot neglect air resistance in this question. 200 m/s 300 m/s 400 m/s 600 m/s 900 m/s
In the situation below, m1=20 kg and m2=10 kg. The masses are at rest. A) What is the minimum coefficient of friction between the incline and m1? B) The sting and cut and m1 slides down the incline. What is its speed when it reaches the bottom? The block is initially at height of 10 meters.
Thor drops his hammer with a mass equal to 300 billion elephants off of Stark Tower (425 m). How fast will it be traveling just before it strikes the ground? part b - Tony Stark drops his lucky penny at the same time. How fast will his lucky penny be traveling just before it strikes the ground?
Dave with a mass of 60 kg goes tubing down a 20 m long hill that has an angle off the horizon of 25º. (Gravity applies) a. He gets a push from the bottom of the hill, so his initial velocity is 2 m/s. How far up the hill will he go before stopping? (there’s no friction) b. He goes back down the hill and then his friend Jill tries to pull him on the tube across a small patch of grass (μk=0.30). If she is pulling parallel to the ground at constant 5 m/s for 5 sec how much power does she expend? c. After climbing back uphill, Dave decided to roll down the hill instead. If he were to be a long cylinder with a radius of 0.1 m, what is his moment of inertia? d. After rolling without slipping down the hill, what is Dave’s final velocity at the bottom of the hill? What is his angular velocity at the bottom of the hill? Dave with a mass of 60 kg goes tubing down a 20 m long hill that has an angle off the horizon of 25º. (Gravity applies) He gets a push from the bottom of the hill, so his…
