Chapter 10, Problem 20CQ
A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. (The hollow cylinder has lightweight spokes connecting it to the axle.) A rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to a block. The blocks have the same mass and are held the same height above the ground as shown in Figure Q10.20. Both blocks are released simultaneously. The ropes do not slip. Which block hits the ground first? Or is it a tie? Explain.

Shawn (m = 45.0 kg) rides his skateboard at a local skate park. He starts from rest at the top of the track as seen in Figure P9.84 and begins a descent down the track, always maintaining contact with the surface. The mass of the skateboard is negligible, as is friction except where noted. a. What is Shawn’s speed when he reaches the bottom of the initial dip, 12.0 m below the starting point? b. He then ascends the other side of thedip to the top of a hill, 8.0 m above the ground. What is his speed when he reaches this point? c. As he begins to descend again, down a straight, 18.0-m-long slope, he slows his skateboard down by using friction on the tail of the board. He is able to produce a friction force with a magnitude of 120.0 N. What is the change in thermal energy of the board–rider–track system as he descends the 18.0-m length of track? d. What is his speed when he reaches the bottom (the end of the 18.0-m length of track)?

of mass mand radius r. The cord's free end is connected to a
block of mass M. The block starts from rest and then slides
down an incline that makes an angle 0 with the horizontal
as shown in Figure P10.48. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between block and incline is u. (a) Use energy methods to

To test the speed of a bullet, you create a pendulum by attaching a 5.00 kg wooden block to the bottom of a 2.40 m long, 1.40 kg rod. The top of the rod is attached to a frictionless axle and is free to rotate about that point.
You fire a 10 g bullet into the block, where it sticks, and the pendulum swings out to an angle of 34.0°. What was the speed of the bullet?

- A bowling ball is suspended from the ceiling of a lecture hall by a strong cord. The ball is drawn away from its equilibrium position and released from rest at the tip of the demonstrator’s nose as shown in Figure CQ8.5. The demonstrator remains stationary. (a) Explain why the ball does not strike her on its return swing. (b) Would this demonstrator be safe if the ball were given a push from its starting position at her nose?arrow_forwardA knight has an idea to break into a fortress by knocking a wall down with a rolling boulder. The plan is to roll the boulder from the top of a hill to hit the wall at the bottom of the hill. The boulder will need to have a speed of 15.0 m/s to break the wall. What is the minimum height the hill can have for the knight's plan to succeed? Assume the hill is frictionless and that the numerical answer you give is in meters.arrow_forwardYou have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P7.41. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hooke's law and have spring constants k1= 1600 N/m and k2 = 3400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in Figure P7.41.When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6000 kg. When you present your design to…arrow_forward
