Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.

Chapter 7, Problem 99GP

Stretchable ropes ate used to safely arrest the fall of rock climbers. Suppose one end of a rope with unstretched length ℓ is anchored to a cliff and a climber of mass m is attached to the other end. When the climber is a height ℓ above the anchor point, he slips and falls under the influence of gravity for a distance 2ℓ, after which the rope becomes taut and stretches a distance x as it stops the climber (see Fig. 7–33). Assume a stretchy rope behaves as a spring with spring constant k. (a) Applying the work-energy principle, show that

x = m g k [ 1 + 1 + 4 k l m g ] .

(b) Assuming m = 85 kg, ℓ = 8.0 m and k = 850 N/m, determine x/ℓ (the fractional stretch of the rope) and kx/mg (the force that the rope exerts on the climber compared to his own weight) at the moment the climber’s fall has been stopped.

Students have asked these similar questions

Figure 8.14 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.

2. A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle 0,, with an initial velocity magnitude vo, from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile hits an apple atop a child's noggin (see Figure 1). The apple is a height y above the tabletop, and a horizontal distance x from the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve for x. That is, determine an expression for x in terms of only v₁, 0, y and g. Actually, this is quite a long expression. So, if you want, you can determine an expression for x in terms of v., 0., and time t, and determine another expression for timet (in terms of v., 0.,y and g) that you will solve and then substitute the value of t into the expression for x. Your final equation(s) will be called Equation 3 (and Equation 4).
