School bus drivers are extra careful when they cross railroad tracks. They stop before they cross railroad tracks to be sure that there is no train coming. Yet, trains typically move more slowly through towns than cars do. If trains usually move more slowly than cars, why can they do more damage if they hit something in their path?
A 10-kg wedge sits on an inclined surface as shown. The coefficients of
friction between the wedge and the incline are us = 0.4 and uk = 0.25. Force
P acts on the wedge and is oriented parallel to the incline.
At the given instant, the wedge is moving up the incline. It is also known that
the normal force exerted by the incline on the wedge is 91.8 N.

- A car is travelling along a horizontal road in an easterly direction. The car has a mass of 2300 kg and the drag force (friction) acting on the car is a constant 5000 N to the west. The car is initially travelling at a speed of 10 m s‒1 and 20 s later is travelling at a speed of 14 m s‒1. What is the gravitational force on the car? What is the vertical normal (support/reaction) force acting on the car? What is the horizontal force on the cars tyres from the road?arrow_forwardA weight hangs on a 1.0 m long rope. How high does it rise if we push it from a resting position at a speed of 1.0 m/s in the horizontal direction? At what speed do we have to push it so it makes a whole turn? The rope is taut the whole time? (The solution is 5.1 cm; 7.0 m / s)arrow_forwardA person standing at the North Pole has no acceleration due to the Earth’s rotation. This means that if they move to the equator, they will actually weigh a little bit less standing on a scale then when they were at the North Pole. In both cases, the scale reads the normal force acting on the person standing on it. How many lbs less would a 180lb man weigh at the equator compared to the North pole? There are 4.45N in 1.0lb.arrow_forward
