- In short-track speed skating, the track has straight sections and semicircles 16 m in diameter. Assume that a 65 kg skater goes around the turn at a constant 12 m/s.a. What is the horizontal force on the skater?b. What is the ratio of this force to the skater’s weight?arrow_forwardTwo blocks are connected via a massless frictionless pully system. The hanging block is 3 kg. The other block is on a ramp of 25◦ and has a mass m. The coefficients of friction between the block on the ramp and the ramp are: µs = .8 and µk = .5. a. What is the minimum mass m that will not slip? b. If the minimum mass is nudged, it will start being pulled up the incline. What will the acceleration be when that happens?arrow_forwardTwo boxes, A and B, are connected by a lightweight cord and are resting on a smooth (frictionless) table. The boxes have masses of 12 kg and 10kg. A horizontal force FP of 40.0 N is applied to the 10 kg box. A. The two boxes are connected, and if the cord remains taut, then the two boxes will have the same acceleration. Solve for acceleration of each box. B. Find the tension in the cord connecting the boxes.arrow_forward

- Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force.
