An airplane of mass 1.50 x 104 kg is in level flight, initially moving at 60.0 m/s. The resistive force exerted by air on the airplane has a magnitude of 4.0 x 104 N. By Newton’s third law, if the engines exert a force on the exhaust gases to expel them out of the back of the engine, the exhaust gases exert a force on the engines in the direction of the airplane’s travel. This force is called thrust, and the value of the thrust in this situation is 7.50 x 104 N. (a) Is the work done by the exhaust gases on the airplane during some time interval equal to the change in the airplane’s kinetic energy? Explain. (b) Find the speed of the airplane after it has traveled 5.0 x 102 m.
A block with a mass of m = 22 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F1 = 12 N. The second has a magnitude of F2 = 18.25 N and acts on the body at an angle θ = 19° measured from horizontal, as shown.
Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN, acting on the block, in terms of F2, g, and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on is rigid.
Write an expression for the component of net force, Fnet,x, in the x-direction, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement.
Part (d) Find the block's acceleration in the x-direction, ax, in meters per second squared.
Two students are pushing crates across a frictionless floor. The crates are initially at rest. Bing applies a horizontal force of 13 N to his crate. Bob, who is taller than Bing, pushes on his crate at an angle of 53 degrees below the horizontal, also with a force of 13 N. Find the ratio of the masses of the two crates if Bing's crate is moving at twice the speed of Bob's crate after they have traveled a distance of 23.5 m across the floor?
