- A stubborn dog is being walked on a leash by its owner. At one point, the dog encounters an interesting scent at some spot on the ground and wants to explore It in detail, but the owner gets impatient and pulls on the leash with force along the leash. (a) What is the magnitude of the pulling force? (b) What angle does the leash make with the vertical?arrow_forwardA 0.400-kg pendulum bob passes through the lowest part of its path at a speed of 3.00 m/s. (a) What is the tension in the pendulum cable at this point if the pendulum is 80.0 cm long? (b) When the pendulum reaches its highest point, what angle does the cable make with the vertical? (c) What is the tension in the pendulum cable when the pendulum reaches its highest point?arrow_forwardThe drag on a pitched baseball can be surprisingly large. Suppose a 145 g baseball with a diameter of 7.4 cm has an initial speed of 40.2 m/s (90 mph).a. What is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration due to the drag force?b. If the ball had this same acceleration during its entire 18.4 m trajectory, what would its final speed be?arrow_forward
- Zach, whose mass is 80 kg, is in an elevator descending at 10 m/s. The elevator takes 3.0 s to brake to a stop at the first floor. a. What is Zach’s apparent weight before the elevator starts braking? b. What is Zach’s apparent weight while the elevator is braking?arrow_forwarda. What is the mass of a book that weighs 3.2 N at a point where g = 9.80 m/ s2? b.At the same location, what is the weightof a dog whose mass is 14.0 Kg ?arrow_forwardI watched a lot of Looney Toons when I was a kid, and liked that the Roadrunners legs would spin for a second or two before their claws caught traction. a. With a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2 what acceleration will the roadrunner experience while their feet are sliding accross the ground? b. How far forward will the roadrunner drift in a half second, starting from rest under this acceleration? c. After catching traction the Roadrunner accelerates away, travelling 10 m to get offscreen in one fifth of a second. What was their coefficient of static friction?arrow_forward
- I have a shelf full of textbookd.Each book has a mass of 1.0 kg and mus=0.3. a. How hard do I need to push horizontally to unstick the top book from the rest of the pile? b. How many books can I unstick from the top of the pile if I push with a force of 16N?arrow_forwardAn early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary, the tension in the cable was 6000 N. When the craft was lowered or raised at a steady rate, the motion through the water added an 1800 N drag force.a. What was the tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor?b. What was the tension in the cable when the craft was being raised from the seafloor?arrow_forwardWhat is T?arrow_forward
- A 70 kg box is resting on a reclining floor. The coefficient of fricion between the floor and the box is: static = 0.30, kinetic = 0.10. If the floor is to be inclined at an angle of 25 deg a. what would be the acceleration of the object along the direction of the inclined floor? b. what would be the vertical displacement of the box after 1.5 seconds? Express your answer in unit of meters. c. what is the total distance travelled by the box after 1.5 seconds? Express your answer in unit of meters.arrow_forwardA 5.0 kg dog sits on the floor of an elevator that is accelerating downward at 1.20 m/s2.a. What is the magnitude of the normal force of the elevator floor on the dog?A. 34 N B. 43 N C. 49 N D. 55 N E. 74 Nb. What is the magnitude of the force of the dog on the elevator floor?A. 4.2 N B. 49 N C. 55 N D. 43 N E. 74 Narrow_forwardA rescue helicopter is lifting a man (weight = 822 Newton's) from a capsized boat by means of cable and harness. a. What is the tension in the cable when the man is given an initial upward acceleration of 1.10 m?s^2 b. What is the tension during the remainder of the rescue when he is pulled upward at a constant velocity?arrow_forward
