Question
A arrow of mass 0.01 kg moving horizontal suddenly strikes a block of wood of mass 8.6 kg that is suspended by a light string, like a pendulum. The arrow passes through the wood, then the wood swings upward and momentarily stops when the string is horizontal. The length of the string is 2.0 cm. How long did it take the arrow to go through the wood if the friction force between the bullies and the wood is 100 N?

- As rock climbers ascend El Capitan over the course of 2 or 3 days, they have to bring all their food, water and camping equipment with them. All of this gear gets put in a large heavy duty bag and is hauled up after each section (called a pitch) that they climb. Climbers will generally climb a 50m pitch then stop and set up a pulley system to haul up the bag. If the rope has a mass of 0.05 kg per meter, the bag of gear has a mass 20kg and the rope is 50m long, how much work (in N-m) is required to pull up all the rope plus the haul bag?arrow_forwardA heavy ball with a weight of 150 N (m = 15.3 kg) is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.6-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.6 m/s as it passes through the lowest point. What is the tension in the rope at that point?arrow_forwardLizzy is training on the trapeze when a slight accident occurs. As a result, she is now hanging from the middle of a 60 m safety rope connected to the ceiling on one end and held by a strongwoman from the circus on the other end. She has a mass of 50 kg and the part of the rope connected to the ceiling makes an angle of 55° with the vertical. The part of the rope that connects Lizzy to her fellow circus artist makes an angle of 20° above the horizontal (the strongwoman is above Lizzy). As long as Lizzy remains stationary, what is the tension in both parts of the rope?arrow_forward
- A cart of mass m, = 6.7 kg is on an inclined ramp (ø = 34.1 degrees). It is attached to a string of negligible mass that goes over an ideal pulley. The other end of the string is attached to another block of mass m, = 11.9 kg, as shown below. The wheels on the cart are good enough that friction between the cart and the ramp is negligible. If the blocks are given an initial speed of v, = 9.1 m/s (with m, moving down the plane), what is the common magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks?

- An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.0 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is10.0 m long and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.00 m/s. The archeologist does not know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1,000 N. Does he make it across the river without falling in?arrow_forwardAn unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 113 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of m the space station at v¡ = 1.80 m/s. = 10.0 kg. The astronaut is moving away from What is the minimum final speed Ubf of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever?

The crate has mass m2 = 68 kg, and the man has m1 = 75 kg. He pulls downward on the rope with a force of magnitude F = 599 N. The pulleys are both massless and frictionless, and the rope is ideal. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the tension force, T?What is the acceleration, in meters per squared second, of the crate?arrow_forward
- A 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 coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.500.
