The 70.0-kg swimmer in Figure 7.44 starts a race with an initial velocity of 1.25 m/s and exerts an average force of 80.0 N backward with his arms during each 1.80 m long stroke. (a) What is his initial acceleration if water resistance is 45.0 N? (b) What is the subsequent average resistance force from the water during the 5.00 s it takes him to reach his top velocity of 2.50 m/s? (c) Discuss whether water resistance seems to increase linearly with velocity.

- Check Your Understanding You probably recall that, neglecting air resistance, if you throw a projectile straight up, the time ii takes to reach its maximum height equals the time it takes to fall from the maximum height back to the starting height. Suppose you cannot neglect air resistance, as in Example 8.8. Is the time the projectile takes to go up (a) greater than, (b) less than, or (c) equal to the time It takes to come back down? Explain.arrow_forwardThere is a 5K event coming up in your town. While talking to your grandmother, who uses an electric scooter for mobility, she says that she would like to accompany you on her scooter while you walk the 5.00-km distance. The manual that came with her scooter claims that the fully charged battery is capable of providing 120 Wh of energy before being depleted. In preparation for the race, you go for a test drive: beginning with a fully charged battery, your grandmother rides beside you as you walk 5.00 km on flat ground. At the end of the walk, the battery usage indicator shows that 40.0% of the original energy in the battery remains. You also know that the combined weight of the scooter and your grandmother is 890 N. A few days later, filled with confidence that the battery has sufficient energy, you and your grandmother drive to the 5K event. Unbeknownst to you, the 5K route is not on flat ground, but is all uphill, ending at a point higher than the starting line. A race official tells you that the total amount of vertical displacement on the route is 150 m. Should your grandmother accompany you on the walk, or will she be stranded when her battery runs out of energy? Assume that the only difference between your test drive and the actual event is the vertical displacement.arrow_forwardIntegrated Concepts A 75.0-kg cross-country skier is climbing a 3.0° slope at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s and encounters air resistance of 25.0 N. Find his power output for work done against the gravitational force and air resistance. (b) What average force does he exert backward on the snow to accomplish this? (c) If he continues to exert this force and to experience the same air resistance when he reaches a level area, how long will it take him to reach a velocity of 10.0 m/s?arrow_forward

Express your answer in seconds.arrow_forwardA 3010kg speedboat is traveling on a lake (with no current) and shuts off its engine. The boat experiences a force of 526N x̂ + -87.1N ŷ over a displacement of -8.55m x̂ + 324m ŷ until it finally comes to rest. Find the speed of the boat before the engine shuts off.

Answer in seconds.arrow_forwardHow long will it take a 3750-W motor to lift a 425-kg piano to a sixth-story window 18.0 m above?arrow_forwardAn ice cube is placed in a microwave oven. Suppose theoven delivers 105 W of power to the ice cube and that it takes32,200 J to melt it. How much time does it take for the ice cubeto melt?arrow_forward
- A man drops a small ball from a very tall building. Assume that air resistance exerts a resisting force of 0.25v . mass = 0.1 kg a) What is the speed of the ball after four seconds? b) How far does the ball fall after four seconds?arrow_forwardCalculate the energy needed to accelerate a vehicle of mass 0.8Mg from 36km/h to 108km/h directly up a slope of 0.637 degrees over a distance of 1.6km if the tractive resistance is 346 N/Mg.arrow_forwardThe resistance of an exercise bike is often provided by a generator. The energy expended by the rideris used to generate electricity, which is then dissipated. Rather than dissipate the energy, it could be usedfor something useful. A typical person can maintain a steady output of 400W on an exercise bike.Assuming an efficiency of 80% for the generator, and 25-30% for the human body, what amount of usefulpower could be produced by a single rider?How many people would need to ride at the gym to produce 400W to power a TV?arrow_forward
