Chapter 7, Problem 8OQ
In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: μk = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank. (a) vi = 1 m/s, μk = 0.2 (b) vi = 1 m/s, μk = 0.8 (c) vi = 2 m/s, μk = 0.2 (d) vi = 2 m/s, μk = 0.8

Two blocks A and B having masses m-100 kg and mg-15 kg are interconnected by the cord-pulley
system. If the kinetic coefficient of friction between the incline and block A is = 0.25, determine
the speed of A after it moves 5m down the plane starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the cord and
pulleys.

A car of mass m = 1150 kg is traveling down a e = 11 degree incline.
When the car's speed is vo = 11 m/s, a mechanical failure causes all four of its brakes to
lock. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road is uz = 0.45.

- Physics students do an expriment to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between a wooden object and the horizontal table it is on. This object has a mass of 1.6 kg. The students push it against a spring, which compresses the spring by 18cm. When released, the spring sends the object moving across the table and it stops 82 cm from where it was released. The spring constant is 200 N/m. Find the obeject-table coefficient of kinetic friction.arrow_forwardA dog with a mass of 57.0 kg slides down a wet slope with negligible friction.

- When a car is hit from behind, its passengers undergo sudden forward acceleration, which can cause a severe neck injury known as whiplash. During normal acceleration, the neck muscles play a large role in accelerating the head so that the bones are not injured. But during a very sudden acceleration, the muscles do not react immediately because they are flexible; most of the accelerating force is provided by the neck bones. Experiments have shown that these bones will fracture if they absorb more than 8.0 J of energy. (a) If a car waiting at a stoplight is rear-ended in a collision that lasts for 10.0 ms, what is the greatest speed this car and its driver can reach without breaking neck bones if the driver’s head has a mass of 5.0 kg (which is about right for a 70 kg person)? Express your answer in m/s and in mi/h. (b) What is the acceleration of the passengers during the collision in part (a), and how large a force is acting to accelerate their heads? Express the acceleration in m/s2…arrow_forwardA horizontal force of 80.0 N is applied to a 5.00 kg block as the block slides a distance of 0.800 m along a horizontal floor.

The coefficients of friction between the block and the board are μs= 0.450 and μ = 0.400. The end of the board where the block sits is slowly raised until the angle the board makes with the horizontal is α0, and then the block starts to slide down the board. If the angle is kept equal to α0 as the block slides, what is the speed of the block when it reaches the bottom of the board? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward
