- In 1898, the world land speed record was set by Gaston Chasseloup-Laubat driving a car named Jeantaud. His speed was 39.24 mph (62.78 km/h), much lower than the limit on our interstate highways today. Repeat the calculations of Example 2.7 (acceleration for first 6 miles, time of timed mile, acceleration for last 6 miles) for the Jeantaud car. Compare the results of the ThrustSSC to Jeantaud.arrow_forwardQ5arrow_forwardIn the figure below, mA > mB and the table surface is frictionless.

A car makes a 50-m-radius turn on a flat road with no banking. The car speeds up until a book on the floor overcomes friction and starts to slide outward. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.45, what was the speed of the car when the book began to slide?arrow_forwardA Wall of Death is a carnival show featuring a motorcyclist rides along the vertical wall of the cylinder and performs various stunts while doing so.

- A 10-kg hanging object is connected by a light, inextensible cord over a light, frictionless pulley to a 23- kg block that is sliding on a flat table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the block is 0.39. How far will the hanging object drop in the first 6 seconds after the system is released? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardCalculus Formula 1 cars produce enormous levels of downforce, which enables them to corner at very high speeds. However, there is a tradeoff to be made when designing such a car, which is that on the straight, high speed parts of the track the same components that produce downforce also produce drag, which slows the car down and reduces its top speed. The effect is more pronounced at high speed since drag squares with speed as per the following formula: 1 F In the formula above, F is the drag force (in Newtons); p is the density of the air (in kg/m³); v is the speed of the car (relative to the air, in m/s); A is the cross-sectional area (in m?); and Cp is the drag coefficient, a dimensionless constant that depends on various factors, including the Reynold's number and the shape of the car. For a typical Formula 1 car, the drag coefficient is around 1 (depending on the exact setup of the car)'. We can assume that the density of air is approximately 1 kg/m³ and the cross-sectional area…arrow_forward6. A rock is dropped from the top of a tall tower. Half a second lateranother rock, twice as massive as the first, is dropped. Ignoring airresistance,(A) the distance between the rocks increases while both are falling.(B) the acceleration is greater for the more massive rock.(C) they strike the ground more than half a second apart.(D) they strike the ground with the same kinetic energy.arrow_forward
- You are a good tree climber and were helping your neighbor kid retrieve his pickle ball that was stuck on a tree branch. You estimated the ball is about 5 m above the ground. Once you climbed high enough, you retrieved the ball and tossed it downward at about 2 m/s downward. How long did the kid have to dodge before the ball hits the ground? You can assume the final position to be zero. The pickle ball has negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the ball has a downward initial velocity.arrow_forwardLisa measured the coefficient of static friction between two pairs of running shoes and the track in Example 6.1 (page 159). If she wants to have an advantage in a race, which shoes should she wear, the ones with a high coefficient or the ones with the low coefficient of static friction? Explain.arrow_forwardIn many textbook problems, we ignore certain complications such as friction and drag. The problems contain key words that indicate such a simplification is being used. For example, if a surface is described as slippery, it means that we can ignore friction. Look at the previous chapters problem sets. Find five uses of these key words and explain how to interpret each case.arrow_forward
