- Thanks for the helparrow_forwardA 2110 kg car traveling at 8.4 m/s collides with a 2730kg car that is initially at rest at the stoplight. The cars stick together and move 3.30 m before friction causes them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and that all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.arrow_forwardA semi is traveling down the highway at a velocity of v = 39.5 m/s. The driver observes a wreck ahead, locks his brakes, and begins to slide. The truck has mass m and a coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road of μk = 0.25. Write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction for the truck while braking. Using the results from that input an expression for the trucks acceleration, ax, while braking. What is the magnitude of the acceleration in m/s^2, and how far does the truck travel, d in meters, before stopping?arrow_forward

Thank you.arrow_forwardThis problem pertains to the scenario depicted in the diagram below, where the masses of the blocks are mi = 9.50 kg and m2 = 7.50 kg , and the angle of the ramp is 0 = 27.5°. There is no friction between block 2 and the ramp, but there is friction between block 1 and the flat surface it rests on. When the system is set in motion, both blocks move to the right at a constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between block 1 and the flat surface (uk)? Show all steps, including drawing free body diagrams and applying Newton's 2nd law to each block.

- A boy slides down a hill on a sled (total mass of 31 kg) and coasts onto a flat plain with a speed of 6.5 m/s. Friction between the sled and the snow exerts an average force of magnitude 38 N on the sled. How far (in m) does the sled travel before stopping? (Note: First, find the acceleration of the boy using Unit Two material, then use this to compute the distance using Unit One material.)arrow_forwardIn the figure provided, there is a crate of mass 4.87 kg on top of another crate of mass 2.66 kg. The coefficient of friction between the lower crate and the floor is μk = 0.350 and the coefficient of static friction between the two crates is μs = 0.880. If the crates start at rest and a force is applied to the right so that both move a distance of 7.48 m, what is the minimal amount of time required in which this can be accomplished without the top crate sliding on the lower crate?arrow_forwardThe 4-Mg bus A is traveling to the right at 30 m/s. Meanwhile a 1-Mg car B is traveling at 20 m/s to the left. If vehicles crash and become entangled, determine the distance the vehicles will slide before they stop.

- The next two problems have to do with this scenario: Air resistance has a quadratic velocity dependence. Water resistance usually has a linear velocity dependence. Consider a bicycle on a road where air resistance is the dominant resistive force on it. Also consider a canoeist on a lake where water resistance is the most important resistive force. As they move, they are both getting tired at the same rate. At the speeds they are both going, the force the canoeist exerts is 1.5 times as big as the force the cyclist exerts. The rate at which someone gets tired is proportional to the force they exert times the velocity at which they are going. Hint: To answer these questions you will have to consider ratios of things at the beginning to things at the end. If both people increase their speed by 50%, which of them will get tired faster? O The bicyclist. O They both get tired at the same rate. O The canoeist. O Not enough information is given to determine an answer. Which person will be…arrow_forwardThe brakes on a big truck fail and it is forced to use a runaway truck lane. The lane is perfectly horizontal, and full of deep gravel, creating a coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the gravel of 0.80. The truck enters the lane at moving 35 m/s (about 80 mph). How far does the truck travel before it stops?arrow_forwardThe figure shows a block (mass mAmA) on a smooth horizontal surface, connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (mass mBmB), which hangs vertically.
