Assume the resistive force acting on a speed skater is proportional to the square of the skater’s speed v and is given by f = −kmv2, where k is a constant and m is the skater’s mass. The skater crosses the finish line of a straight-line race with speed vi and then slows down by coasting on his skates. Show that the skater’s speed at any time t after crossing the finish line is v(t) = vi/(1 + ktvi).

- For t < 0, an object of mass m experiences no force and moves in the positive x direction with a constant speed v,. Beginning at t = 0, when the object passes position x = 0, it experiences a net resistive force proportional to the square of its speed: Fnet - - mkv? î, where k is a constant. The speed of the object after t = 0 is given by v = v;/(1 + kv,t). (a) Find the position x of the object as a function of time. (b) Find the object's velocity as a function of position.arrow_forwardA 3 kg particle starts from rest and moves a distance of 4 m in 2 sec under the action of a single constant force. find the magnitude of the forcearrow_forwardA rope, attached to a weight, goes up through a pulley at the ceiling and back down to a worker. The worker holds the rope at the same height the connection point between the rope and weight. The distance from the connection point to the ceiling is 45 ft. Suppose the worker stands directly next to the weight (i.e., a total rope length of 90 ft) and begins to walk away at a constant rate of 4 ft/s. How fast is the weight rising when the worker has walked: 10 feet? Answer= 30 feet? Answer=arrow_forward
- A ball of mass 2 kilograms is loaded into a spring gun which is pointed vertically upward. At t = 0 seconds, the spring gun exerts an upward force of 100 newtons for 1 second. Assuming a drag coefficient of 0.3 kilograms per second and drag proportional and against the velocity, give a second-order equation and initial conditions for vertical position y in meters of the ball that is initially at rest. Use g = 9.8 meters per second per second and assume the initial position is 0.arrow_forwardA rope, attached to a weight, goes up through a pulley at the ceiling and back down to a worker. The worker holds the rope at the same height as the connection point between the rope and weight. The distance from the connection point to the ceiling is 30 ft. Suppose the worker stands directly next to the weight (i.e., a total rope length of 60 ft) and begins to walk away at a constant rate of 3 ft/s. How fast is the weight rising when the worker has walked:arrow_forwardAn object of a mass of 2.5-kg is launched upwards, with an initial speed of 39 m/s. How fast is the object traveling after falling back to its original launch height? Assume that there is no air resistance.arrow_forward
- Somone is standing on a piece of cardboard holding a wire that is attached to a vehicle. The friction between the cardboard and road is 67N. The wire makes a 24° angle with the road. The tension on the wire is 134N. If they start from rest how long does it take them to reach a speed of 14m/s and how far have they traveled?

Bing applies a horizontal force of 13 N to his crate. Bob, who is taller than Bing, pushes on his crate at an angle of 53 degrees below the horizontal, also with a force of 13 N. Find the ratio of the masses of the two crates if Bing's crate is moving at twice the speed of Bob's crate after they have traveled a distance of 23.5 m across the floor?arrow_forwardA 75-kg snowboarder has an initial velocity of 5 m/s and slides down a 92-m-long straight incline from an initial height 54 m and finally comes to rest after sliding horizontally a distance x.
