Concept explainers
A sling-thrower puts a stone (0.250 kg) in the sling’s pouch (0.010 kg) and then begins to make the stone and pouch move in a vertical circle of radius 0.650 m. The cord between the pouch and the person’s hand has negligible mass and will break when the tension in the cord is 33.0 N or more. Suppose the sling-thrower could gradually increase the speed of the stone. (a) Will the breaking occur at the lowest point of the circle or at the highest point? (b) At what speed of the stone will that breaking occur?

- An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. What maximum height does she reach? (a) 13 m (b) 2.3 m (c) 3.7 m (d) 0.27 m (e) The answer cant be determined because the mass of the athlete isnt given.arrow_forwardA carousal has a radius R=7 m, with cables tying the seats being L=10 m long.

A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 0.594 s after leaving the slide. Ignore friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing.

- A roller-coaster travels over a vertical, circular loop of radius R = 27.8 m. If it travels without friction along the track, what is the minimum speed required at the bottom of the loop such that the roller-coaster remains in contact with the track at the top of the loop?arrow_forwardA block with mass m is placed on the top of a smooth cline. The cline is h=4.7m high. The block is released from the cline and the moves across a horizontal surface. The region of the horizontal surface between A and B is tough and the kinetic friction coefficient is μ = 0.47 and the distance between A and B is 0.6 meters. The remained region of the horizontal surface is smooth. Then the block goes to a quarter circle with radius R = 2.1m, The quarter circle is also smooth. Finally, the block collide elastically with an identical mass, and the second mass flies from the quarter circle and hits the ground. When the block hits the ground what is the horizontal distance does it move in meters since it flies from the quarter circle?(g = 9.81m-s-2 Round to the nearest hundredth.)arrow_forwardA block with mass m is placed on the top of a smooth cline.

- A block of mass 2 kg begins with velocity 2.3 m/s at the top of a curved track at a height h= 9.9 m and travels around a circular loop of radius R. There is negligible friction between the block and the track between points A and D, but the coefficient of kinetic friction on the horizontal surface between points D and E is u=0.4. If the block stops at point E, what is the distance (in m) between points D and E?

The tires were deadlocked and not able to roll. The airplane began to skid once it touched down and left behind a 728 m long skid mark on the runway before it came to a stop. Even though everyone on the airplane was safe, the pilot was accused of failing to land the airplane within the allowable speed limit of 80.0 m/s and his pilot license was suspended. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and runway was 0.496. (i) Determine the work done by friction on the tires.(ii) Use the Work-Energy Theorem to evaluate if the suspension of the pilot’s license should be revoked. #This is an exercise question, please help.

The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't break while swinging. The stunt performer's mass is 82.0 kg, the vine is 11.0 m long, and the speed of the stunt performer at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 8.60 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking?arrow_forward
