A 121 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 18 degrees with
respect to the horizontal. The crate is a height 0.51 m from the ground, measured vertically from
the ground to the crate. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it
slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
crate and the ramp is Hs = 0.23. How much time (in seconds) does it take for the crate to get to the

- A 126 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 19 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The crate is a height 0.71 m from the ground, measured vertically from the ground to the crate. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is ls = 0.23. How much time (in seconds) does it take for the crate to get to the base of the ramp?arrow_forwardThe shot put is a trackand- field event in which athletes throw a heavy ball— the shot—as far as possible. The best athletes can throw the shot as far as 23 m. Athletes who use the “glide” technique push the shot outward in a reasonably straight line, accelerating it over a distance of about 2.0 m. What acceleration do they provide to the shot as they push on it? Assume that the shot is launched at an angle of 37°, a reasonable value for an excellent throw. You can assume that the shot lands at the same height from which it is thrown; this simplifies the calculation considerably, and makes only a small difference in the final result.arrow_forwardCalculate the range of the baseball in the presence of the air drag. Assume that initial speed of the baseball is 50m/s, initial angle = 30 degrees, mass m=0.142kg. Coefficient of air drag k=0.0013kg/s.arrow_forward
- You are in a plane that flies horizontally with speed 900 km/h ( 250 m/s) when an engine falls off. Neglecting air drag, assume it takes 25 seconds for the engine to hit the ground. (a) How high was the plane flying? (b) What is the horizontal distance that the engine covers before hitting the ground? (c) If the plane somehow continuous to fly as if nothing had happened, where is the engine relative to the airplane at the moment the engine hits the ground?arrow_forwardAnswer both parts of the questionarrow_forwardThe answer is given, just please show the solution.arrow_forward
- A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 1.4m/s down an inclined sandy scarface. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of 6.9degrees.At the bottom of the incline, the penguin slides onto a horizontal patch of sand. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the penguin and the sand is the same for the horizontal patch. Calculate how much time is required for the penguin to slide to a halt after entering the horizontal patch of ice.arrow_forwardA ball is thrown from the top of a tower at an angle of 40o to the horizontal with an initial speed of 6.60 m/s. During its flight, the only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity. It takes 3.55 s until the ball hits the ground. How tall is the tower?arrow_forwardCalculate the speed (in m/s) a spherical rain drop would achieve falling from 2.50 km in the absence of air drag and with air drag. Take the size across of the drop to be 3 mm, the density to be 1.00 ✕ 103 kg/m3, and the surface area to be πr2. (Assume the density of air is 1.21 kg/m3.) (a) in the absence of air drag = ? m/s (b) with air drag = ? m/sarrow_forward
- I chose (C) and got my answer incorrect. I need help figuring out how to solve this and what the correct answer is.arrow_forwardA basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.340 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.880 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. (b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.340 m. (c) Calculate the force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 120 kg.arrow_forwardA penguin slides at a constant velocity of 1.4 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of 6.9?degrees. At the bottom of the incline, the penguin slides onto a horizontal patch of ice. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the penguin and the ice is the same for the incline as for the horizontal slope. How much time is required for the penguin to slide to a halt after entering the horizontal patch of ice?arrow_forward
