If she falls into a net, which slows her down over the course of 2 s, what average force did she experience while landing?arrow_forwardLet's say an astronaut is walking on the moon and wants to test out some basic kinematics. Because there's no atmosphere, there's no air resistance, so the only thing that can cause an object to move faster on the moon is the moon's gravity. Let's say you have a hammer and a feather, each weighing 10.0 kg and 1.00 kg respectively. When you drop them from a height of 1.65 meters, they should both hit the ground at the same time. The gravity on the moon is around 1/6 of what it is on Earth, so you need to figure out how long it'll take for the hammer to reach the ground.arrow_forward

- To raise money for a university scholorship fund, the new IT dean has volunteered to bungee jump from a crane if contributions can be found for 10 scholarshipis. To add some interest, the jump will be made from 42 m above a pool of water. A 30 m bungee cord would be attached to the dean. First you must convince the dean that your plan is safe for a person of his mass, 70 kg. The dean knows that as the bungee cord begins to stretch, it will exert a force which has the same properties a the force exerted by a spring. Your plan has the dean stepping off a platform and being in free fall for 30 m before the cord begins to stretch. a) Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord so that it stretches only 12 m, which will just keep the dean out of the water. (Assume that the dean is a point like object). b) Using the result of a), find the dean's speed 7 m above the water.arrow_forwardA “sun yacht” is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight.

- Sunjamming. A “sun yacht” is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny in everyday circumstances, it can be large enough to send the spacecraft outward from the Sun on a cost-free but slow trip.

The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg.

Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.arrow_forwardA box with mass m sits at the bottom of a long ramp thatis sloped upward at an angle a above the horizontal. You give the boxa quick shove, and after it leaves your hands it is moving up the rampwith an initial speed v0. The box travels a distance d up the ramp andthen slides back down. When it returns to its starting point, the speedof the box is half the speed it started with; it has speed v0 /2. What isthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp?
