A flat cushion of mass m is released from rest at the corner of the roof of a building, at height h. A wind blowing along the side of the building exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude F on the cushion as it drops as shown in Figure P5.48. The air exerts no vertical force. (a) Show that the path of the cushion is a straight line. (b) Does die cushion fall with constant velocity? Explain. (c) If m = 1.20 kg, h = 8.00 m, and F = 2.40 N, how far from the building will the cushion hit the level ground? What If? (d) If the cushion is thrown downward with a nonzero speed at the top of the building, what will be the shape of its trajectory? Explain.

- Could you please explain step-by step please and if possible draw it out...arrow_forwardWhat horizontal force must be applied to a large block of mass M shown in Figure P5.49 so that the tan blocks remain stationary relative to M? Assume all surfaces and the pulley are frictionless. Notice that the force exerted by the string accelerates m2.arrow_forwardQ2: Jane, who weighs 500 N, must cross a river full of hungry crocodiles to save Tarzan, who weighs 700 N, from danger. She jumps (from rest) off a cliff hanging from the end of an 18 m long vine, Fig.length, Fig. 1(b). From the top of the cliff to the lowest point of the trajectory she descends 3.0 m. The vine will breakif the force exerted on it exceeds 650 N.(a) Show that she will not be able to reach Tarzan?(b) And determine the angle of rupture θ, with respect to vertical.(c) Using a rope strong enough to hold them both, Jane rescues Tarzan. What will be the speed of thetwo when Jane "grabs" him (assume Jane is strong enough to hold him)?(d) Is the energy conserved? If yes, justify, if no, calculate∆K/Ki and explain what happened to the energy.arrow_forward

- Please answer it within 30 minutes.I will upvote! A skier is going down a hill at a constant speed in the downward direction. The skier’s mass is 70 ?? and the hill is at an angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal. Both surface friction and air drag are considered. What is the air drag force (in unit of N) along the direction of the velocity? Assume the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.3; the gravity on the earth is 9.8 m/s2; cos(30 degree) is 0.866, and sin(30 degree) is 0.5. Round the answer to two decimal points. (You must use the numbers/constants provided here for the calculation)arrow_forwardAn object of mass m1 hangs from a string that passes over a very light fixed pulley P1 as shown in Figure P5.25. The string connects to a second very light pulley P2. A second string passes around this pulley with one end attached to a wall and the other to an object of mass m2 on a frictionless, horizontal table. (a) If a1 and a2 are the accelerations of m1 and m2, respectively, what is the relation between these accelerations? Find expressions for (b) the tensions in the strings and (c) the accelerations a1 and a2 in terms of the masses m1 and m2, and g.arrow_forwardBe sure to review Examples 5.13, 5.14, and 5.15 (Section5.3) before attempting these problems.

- A 128 lb person steps into an elevator at the ground floor. The elevator accelerates upward at 5.0 ft/s^2 until reaching a velocity of 24 ft/s. It then holds this velocity until decelerating (a=-5.0 ft/s^2) to a stop at the top floor. What is the normal force on the person in each of the three phases of this trip?arrow_forwardSuppose you are at a bowling alley, where a machine uses a constant force and pushes balls up a ramp one meter in length. The balls are sliding -- not rolling -- along the incline, and they end up half a meter above the base of the ramp. Ignore friction. Approximately how much force does the machine put on a 5 kg bowling ball? 1.0 m H 0.5 m 200 N 50 N 25 N O 5N Impossible to determinearrow_forwardA 4.12 N ball needs to be accelerating in the vertical direction at 20 m/s2 to reach its target height.
