Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 46EAP
A long, 1.0 kg rope hangs from a support that breaks, causing the rope to fall, if the pull exceeds 40 N. A student team has built a 2.0 kg robot "mouse" that runs up and down the rope. What maximum acceleration can the robot have—both magnitude and direction—without the rope falling?

Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind of helmet uses an airbag that deploys from a pouch worn around the rider’s neck. In tests, a headform wearing the inflated airbag is dropped onto a rigid platform; the speed just before impact is 6.0 m/s. Upon impact, the bag compresses its full 12.0 cm thickness, slowing the headform to rest. What is the acceleration, in g’s, experienced by the headform? (An acceleration greater than 60g is considered especially dangerous.)
a. Calculate the acceleration (in m/s2) of a skier heading down a 11.1° slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet snow.
b. Find the angle (in degrees) of the slope down which this skier could coast at a constant velocity.
(You can neglect air resistance, and you will find the equation for the acceleration of any object down an incline where fk = μkN, a = g(sin(θ) − μk cos(θ)), to be useful.)

- You and a couple friends have entered a diving competition during your March Break. You will be diving from the 5m (highest) platform at the University of Toronto Varsity Pool. You know that your acceleration while falling will be the acceleration of gravity, 9.81m/s2 , but you’re wondering about the rate at which you’ll be slowing down once you enter the water – and really – will it hurt. Science has shown us that 2 times the acceleration of gravity is exhilarating (like a roller coaster), but at 3 times the acceleration of gravity most people are uncomfortable. You estimate that it will take 0.64s to stop once you enter the water.
