- A block of ice (m = 15.0 kg) with an attached rope is at rest on a frictionless surface. You pull the block with a horizontal force of 95.0 N for 1.54 s. a. Determine the magnitude of each force acting on the block of ice while you are pulling. b. With what speed is the ice moving after you are finished pulling?arrow_forwardAn experiment is performed on a puck on a level air hockey table, where friction is negligible. A constant horizontal force is applied to the puck, and the pucks acceleration is measured. Now the same puck is transported far into outer space, where both friction and gravity are negligible. The same constant force is applied to the puck (through a spring scale that stretches the same amount), and the pucks acceleration (relative to the distant stars) is measured. What is the pucks acceleration in outer space? (a) It is somewhat greater than its acceleration on the Earth. (b) It is the same as its acceleration on the Earth. (c) It is less than its acceleration on the Earth. (d) It is infinite because neither friction nor gravity constrains it. (e) It is very large because acceleration is inversely proportional to weight and the pucks weight is very small but not zero.arrow_forwardAn athlete grips a light rope that passes over a low-friction pulley attached to tire ceiling of a gym. A sack of sand precisely equal in weight to the athlete is tied to the other end of the rope. Both the sand and the athlete are initially at rest. The athlete climbs the rope, sometimes speeding up and slowing down as he does so. What happens to the sack of sand? Explain.arrow_forward
- A man exerts a force of 16.7 N horizontally on a box so that it is at rest in contact with a wall as in Figure 6.3. The box weighs 6.52 N. a. Find the static friction force exerted on the box, given the forces being applied, b. If the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the box is 0.50, find the maximum static friction force that may be exerted on the box. Comment on your results.arrow_forwardWhen you learn to drive, you discover that you need to let up slightly on the brake pedal as you come to a stop or the car will stop with a jerk. Explain this in terms of the relationship between static and kinetic friction.arrow_forward(a) When rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 N of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylinder. What is the magnitude of the normal force between the piston and cylinder? (b) What is the magnitude of the force would she have to exert if the steel parts were oiled?arrow_forward
- A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after It leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 3.50 ms (3.50103s) (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid?arrow_forwardTwenty people participate in a tug-of-war. The two teams of ten people are so evenly matched that neither team wins. After the game they notice that a car is stuck in the mud. They attach the tug-of-war rope to the bumper of the car, and all the people pull on the rope. The heavy car has just moved a couple of decimeters when the rope breaks. Why did the rope break in this situation when it did not break when the same twenty people pulled on it in a tug-of-war?arrow_forwardA car is moving forward slowly and is speeding up. A student claims that the car exerts a force on itself or that the cars engine exerts a force on the car. (a) Argue that this idea cannot be accurate and that friction exerted by the road is the propulsive force on the car. Make your evidence and reasoning as persuasive as possible. (b) Is it static or kinetic friction? Suggestions: Consider a road covered with light gravel. Consider a sharp print of the tire tread on an asphalt road, obtained by coating the tread with dust.arrow_forward
- Elisha Graves Otis invented the elevator brake in the mid-1800s, making it possible to build tall skyscrapers with fast elevators. Todays skyscrapers are a large fraction of a mile tall; for example. Taipei 101 in Taiwan has 101 stories and is 515 m (0.32 miles) tall. The top speed of the elevator in the Taipei 101 tower is roughly three times greater than the ascent rate of a commercial jet airplane. The position and time data in the table are based on such an elevator. a. Working in SI units, make a position-versus-time graph for the elevator. (You may wish to use a spreadsheet program.) b. Describe the motion of the elevator in words. c. Find the highest speed of the elevator. When is the elevator going at this speed? d. What sort of considerations would the engineers need to make to ensure the comfort of the passengers?arrow_forwardTo determine the coefficients of friction between rubber and various surfaces, a student uses a rubber eraser and an incline. In one experiment, the eraser begins to slip down the incline when the angle of inclination is 36.0 and then moves down the incline with constant speed when the angle is reduced to 30.0. From these data, determine the coefficients of static and kinetic friction for this experiment.arrow_forwardConsider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, a 10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume the load is not tied down to the truck and has a coefficient of static friction of 0.500 with the truck bed. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck. (b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?arrow_forward
