- A 75.0-g arrow, fired at a speed of 110 m/s to the left, impacts a tree, which it penetrates to a depth of 12.5 cm before coming to a stop. Assuming the force of friction exerted by the tree is constant, what are the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the arrow?arrow_forwardAn automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.arrow_forwardWe know from studying friction forces that static friction increases with increasing normal force between the surfaces, which becomes important for vehicles traveling on icy or snowy roads that have coefficients of static friction much smaller than those of dry pavement. In particular, the greater the normal force on the drive wheels (those coupled to the engine), the better the traction. The horizontal position of the center of mass of a typical compact automobile is located 1.1 m toward the rear as measured from the front wheel axle. The wheelbase (distance from the front wheel axle to the rear wheel axle) is 2.7 m. Assume the car is stationary on level ground and has a weight of 12,000 N. Determine the total normal force on the two front tires and on the two rear tires. Which do you suppose are the drive wheels in this case?arrow_forward

The coefficient of static friction between each block and surface is 0.35, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. The mass of block A is 10.0 kg, and the mass of block B is unknown. The angle of the incline is 30 degrees. Do everything in symbols first substitute numbers in only at the end. (See PSL 5.5,7,8,9) a) The blocks are released from rest, and they are on the verge of sliding, but they do not move. Draw FBDs for each block. b) In symbols, solve for the mass of block B.
