Chapter 6, Problem 47EAP
A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7500 kg. It is climbing a 15° incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the poorly secured load falls off! Immediately after losing the load, the truck begins to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2. What was the mass of the load? Ignore rolling friction.

A car has a mass of 1750 kg. If the driver applies the brakes while on a gravel road, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 6500 N. If the car is moving at 22 m/s, what is the shortest distance in which the car can stop safely?
The suspended 2.41 kg mass on the right is moving up , the 2.1 kg mass slides down the ramp and is on an inclined 34 degrees from the horizontal, and the suspended 7.8 kg mass on the left is moving down. There is friction between the block and the ramp, the coefficient of static friction is 0.17. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. The pulleys are massless and frictionless.
What is the acceleration of the three block system?
An aging coyote (m = 42.1 kg) cannot run fast enough to catch a roadrunner (m = 16.3 kg). He purchases a set of jet-powered roller skates, which proved a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.2 m/s2. The coyote starts at rest 73.2 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips past in the direction of the cliff. Hint: their initial positions at the top of the cliff are the same.
a. Determine the minimum constant speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote.
b. At the edge of the cliff, the roadrunner escapes by making a sudden turn, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyote’s skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight, so his acceleration while he is in the air is (15.2i – 9.80j) m/s2. The cliff is 127 m above the flat floor of the desert. Determine how far from the base of the vertical cliff the coyote lands.
c. Determine the components of the coyote’s impulse upon impact.
