Concept explainers
A truck with mass m has a brake failure while going down an icy mountain road of constant downward slope angle α (Fig. P7.58). Initially the truck is moving downhill at speed υ0. After careening downhill a distance L with negligible friction, the truck driver steers the runaway vehicle onto a runaway truck ramp of constant upward slope angle β. The truck ramp has a soft sand surface for which the coefficient of rolling friction is μr. What is the distance that the truck moves up the ramp before coming to a halt? Solve by energy methods.

- A skate park is formed by two semicircles of radius R1 = 8.3 m and R2 = 1.0 m and a flat central part, as shown in the following figure. The flat part has a length L = 3.6 m. The semicircles are tangent to the horizontal in B and C and to the vertical in A and D. There is no friction in the curved parts and in the flat part the coefficient of kinetic friction is μC = 0.2. A block with mass m = 3.2 kg is dropped from A. Suppose the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m / s2. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the block as it passes through point B the second time?

It starts from rest and is pulled up a mine shaft by a cable connected to a winch. The shaft is inclined at 30.5° above the horizontal. The car accelerates uniformly to a speed of 2.05 m/s in 11.0 s and then continues at constant speed.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a container of mass m1 = 4.9 kg connected to a block of mass m2 by a cord looped around a frictionless pulley.

- A student wants to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between a box and a plank. She places the box on the plank and gradually raises one end of the plank. When the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches 30, the box starts to slip, and it then slides 2.5 m down the plank in 4.0 s at constant acceleration. What are (a) the coefficient of static friction and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank?arrow_forwardAn oxygen cylinder of mass 11.0 kg is pulled up a mountain side at a constant speed of 5.2 m/s by a cable and winch.

The object is initially held stationary at the top of the slide. The initial height is, hi = R. The mass is released and slides down, around the bottom, and back up the other side. The radius of the slide is R = 5.79 m and the mass of the object is M = 37 kg.

- A student is attempting to push his stalled car out of an intersection with his girlfriend at the wheel. The car and girlfriend has a combined mass of m = 999 kg. Unfortunately the hill has an incline of θ = 3.6 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The student can supply a force of F = 883 N for t = 24 s before tiring. What is the furthest the edge of the intersection can be d in meters from the stalled car in order to make it out in one push. Assume no rolling resistance from the car and that his girlfriend brakes to bring the car to a stop when he stops pushing. I got these hints: -Start with free body diagram. Use the relationship between impulse and momentum to find the final velocity of the car after he has pushed for time t.-Use a kinematic equation to relate the final velocity and time to the distance traveled.-What is his initial velocity?arrow_forwardAn object with mass m = 34 kg is pushed with 452 N of force to be moved across a distance of 4.6 m on a surface with friction. Initially the object is moving at vi = 0.82 m/s and after being moved across 4.6 m, the final speed is 2.5 m/s.

In the figure, a small block of mass m = 0.014 kg can slide along the frictionless loop-the-loop, with loop radius R = 12 cm. The block is released from rest at point P, at height h = 5R above the bottom of the loop. What are the magnitudes of (a) the horizontal component and (b) the vertical component of the net force acting on the block at point Q? (c) At what height h should the block be released from rest so that it is on the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop? (On the verge of losing contact means that the normal force on the block from the track has just then become zero).

- A string under tension of 50.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.5 m at a speed of 20.4 m/s on a frictionless table. The string passes through a small hole in the table at the center of this circle. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string is 1.00 m long and the speed is 51.0 m/s, the string breaks.
