- You go trick-or-treating with your friends and end up with more candy than you know what to do with. You get tired of carrying your pillowcase full of candy, so you start to drag it along the ground. Your pillowcase has a mass of 8.7 kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction between your pillowcase and the ground is 0.20. It's time to catch up to your friends, so you take off, still dragging the bag. You pull on the bag with a force of 62 N at an angle of 57 degrees above the horizontal. - What is the magnitude of the Normal force acting on the bag? - What is the magnitude of the kinetic friction force acting on the bag? - What is the net acceleration of the bag?arrow_forwardThe three blocks shown are identical. Blocks B and C are at rest when block B is hit by block A, which is moving with a velocity Va of 3 ft/s. After the impact, which is assumed to be perfectly plastic (e= 0), the velocity of blocks A and B decreases due to friction, while block C picks up speed, until all three blocks are moving with the same velocity v . Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between all surfaces is μk= 0.20, determine (a) the time required for the three blocks to reach the same velocity, (b) the total distance traveled by each block during that time.arrow_forwardA hockey puck slides with an initial speed of 11 m/s on a large frozen lake.

- Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 10,000 kg load sits on the flat bed of a 15,000 kg truck moving at 13.0 m/s.

What minimum initial speed should the puck have been given so that it reached the teammate, assuming that the same force of kinetic friction acted on the puck everywhere between the two players?arrow_forward
