Chapter 8, Problem 93P
A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle that has a radius of 12 m. The maximum height of the slide is h = 4.0 m, and the ground is tangent to the circle (Fig. 8-70). A 25 kg child starts from rest at the top of the slide and has a speed of 6.2 m/s at the bottom. (a) What is the length of the slide? (b) What average frictional force acts on the child over this distance? If, instead of the ground, a vertical line through the top of the slide is tangent to the circle, what are (c) the length of the slide and (d) the average frictional force on the child?

A constant friction force of magnitude 0.025 0 N acts on the bead. (a) If the bead is released from rest at point , what is its speed at point ? (b) A red bead of mass 25 g slides along a curved wire, subject to a friction force with the same constant magnitude as that on the green bead.

- A block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (Fig. P7.79). The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point , the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The blocks speed at the bottom of the track is = 12.0 m/s, and the block experiences an average friction force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the block were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed at that point? (c) Does the block actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?arrow_forwardYou have spent a long day skiing and are tired. You are standing at the top of a hill, looking at the lodge at the bottom of the hill. You are so tired that you want to simply start from rest and coast down the slope, without pushing with your poles or doing anything else to change your motion. You want to let gravity do all the work! You have a choice of two trails to reach the lodge. Both trails have the same coefficient of friction k. In addition, both trails represent the same horizontal separation between the initial and final points. Trail A has a short, steep downslope and then a long, flat coast to the lodge. Trail B has a long, gentle downslope and then a short remaining flat coast to the lodge. Which trail will result in your arriving at the lodge with the highest final speed?arrow_forwardIf the net work done by external forces on a particle is zero, which of the following statements about the particle must be true?

- Jane, whose mass is 50.0 kg, needs to swing across a river (having width D) filled with person-eating crocodiles to save Tarzan from danger. She must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force F, on a vine having length L and initially making an angle with the vertical (Fig. P7.81). Take D = 50.0 m, F = 110 N, L = 40.0 m, and = 50.0. (a) With what minimum speed must Jane begin her swing to just make it to the other side? (b) Once the rescue is complete, Tarzan and Jane must swing back across the river. With what minimum speed must they begin their swing? Assume Tarzan has a mass of 80.0 kg.arrow_forwardA 5.00-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane with an initial speed of i = 8.00 m/s (Fig. P7.21). The block comes to rest after traveling d = 3.00 m along the plane, which is inclined at an angle of = 30.0 to the horizontal. For this motion, determine (a) the change in the blocks kinetic energy, (b) the change in the potential energy of the block-Earth system, and (c) the friction force exerted on the block (assumed to be constant), (d) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

Then the glider comes back down the track to its starting point. Now the experiment is repeated with the same original speed but with a second identical glider set on top of the first. The airflow from the track is strong enough to support the stacked pair of gliders so that the combination moves over the track with negligible friction. Static friction holds the second glider stationary relative to the first glider throughout the motion. The coefficient of static friction between the two gliders is s.

- The Flybar high-tech pogo stick is advertised as being capable of launching jumpers up to 6 ft. The ad says that the minimum weight of a jumper is 120 lb and the maximum weight is 250 lb. It also says that the pogo stick uses a patented system of elastometric rubber springs that provides up to 1200 lbs of thrust, something common helical spring sticks simply cannot achieve (rubber has 10 times the energy storing capability of steel). a. Use Figure P8.32 to estimate the maximum compression of the pogo sticks spring. Include the uncertainty in your estimate. b. What is the effective spring constant of the elastometric rubber springs? Comment on the claim that rubber has 10 times the energy-storing capability of steel. c.

If the castle is 9.1 m tall and the mass of the cow is 110 kg, (a) what is the gravitational potential energy of the cow at the top of the castle?
