- Review. While learning to drive, you arc in a 1 200-kg car moving at 20.0 m/s across a large, vacant, level parking lot. Suddenly you realize you are heading straight toward the brick sidewall of a large supermarket and are in danger of running into it. The pavement can exert a maximum horizontal force of 7 000 N on the car. (a) Explain why you should expect the force to have a well-defined maximum value. (b) Suppose you apply the brakes and do not turn the steering wheel. Find the minimum distance you must be from the wall to avoid a collision. (c) If you do not brake but instead maintain constant speed and turn the steering wheel, what is the minimum distance you must be from the wall to avoid a collision? (d) Of the two methods in parts (b) and (c), which is better for avoiding a collision? Or should you use both the brakes and the steering wheel, or neither? Explain. (c) Does the conclusion in part (d) depend on the numerical values given in this problem, or is it true in general? Explain.arrow_forwardIn one amusement park ride, riders enter a large vertical barrel and stand against the wall on its horizontal floor. The barrel is spun up and the floor drops away. Riders feel as if they are pinned to the wall by a force something like the gravitational force. This is an inertial force sensed and used by the riders to explain events in the rotating frame of reference of the barrel. Explain in an inertial frame of reference (Earth is nearly one) what pins the riders to the wall, and identify all forces acting on them.arrow_forwardA filled treasure chest (m = 375 kg) with a long rope tied around its center lies in the middle of a room. Dirk wishes to drag the chest, but there is friction between the chest and the floor with s = 0.52. If the angle between the rope and the floor is 30.0, what is the magnitude of the tension required to just get the chest moving?arrow_forward
- A 0.275-kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 0.850 m long as in Figure P7.70. (a) What are the forces acting on the ball at any point along this path? (b) Draw free-body diagrams for the ball when it is at the bottom of the circle and when it is at the top. (c) If its speed is 5.20 m/s at the top of the circle, what is the tension in the string there? (d) If the string breaks when its tension exceeds 22.5 N, what is the maximum speed the object can have at the bottom before the string breaks? Figure P7.70arrow_forwardAn iron bolt of mass 65.0 g hangs from a string 35.7 cm long. The top end of the string is fixed. Without touching it, a magnet attracts the bolt so that it remains stationary, but is displaced horizontally 28.0 cm to the tight from the previously vertical line of the string. The magnet is located to the right of the bolt and on the same vertical level as the bolt in the final configuration. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the bolt. (b) Find the tension in the string, (c) Find the magnetic force on the bolt.arrow_forwardIn Example 6.5, we investigated the forces a child experiences on a Ferris wheel.

(b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed? (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?arrow_forwardA box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the bed of the truck is 0.800. (a) When the truck accelerates forward, what force accelerates the box? (b) Find the maximum acceleration the truck can have before the box slides.arrow_forwardTwo masses connected by a light rope are pulled across a frictionless horizontal surface by a force of magnitude F, as shown in figure A.
