A child on a sled has been given a push so that he is moving up a hill. The hill is covered with icy snow and can be treated as frictionless. The child has a mass of 22.7 kg; the sled has a 3.18 kg. How far will he go before coming to a stop if his speed is 2.44 m/s when he starts at the bottom of the hill? He holds on tightly and so does not fall off the sled, and the hill makes an angle of 25.50 with the horizontal.
a. 0.29 m
b. 1.14 m
c. 1.41 m
d. 0.70 m

- 9. a. An arrow is fired from a bow with a velocity of 69.2 m/s. The arrow has a mass of 0.082 kg. The arrow travels 0.855 m as it's being released/ while the force of the taunt string acts on it. What is the change in KE, AKE, of the arrow? 196.33 Previous submissions: b. What was the force of the bow string? 229.63 Previous submissions: J N V incorrect V incorrectarrow_forwardA clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg.If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m. How fast is the coyote moving when he has traveled 2.11m while he is slowing down? Assume his initial speed when he is slowing down is equal to his final speed when the rockets were firing.arrow_forwardA 5 kg block is given an initial velocity of 10 m/s. If there is a friction force of 13 N opposing the motion of the block, how far will the block move before coming to a rest?arrow_forward
- A hockey puck with mass 0.166 kg is pushed across the ice with a constant force of 0.89 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.22. After a distance of 2.6 m, what is the puck's speed in m/s?arrow_forwardsadasdasdasdasarrow_forwardA 0.2 kg ball is caught in a 0.5 kg glove. The ball had been moving at 8.0 m/s and it required 5.0 N of force to stop it. What was the force on the glove?arrow_forward
- A student pushes a physics textbook of mass 1.15 kg across a table with a horizontal force of 5.48 Newtons. If the frictional force between the table and the textbook is 3.38 Newtons and the textbook was initially at rest, what is the speed of the textbook after 2.3 seconds? Remember to give your answer in metres per second and to at least 3 significant figures.arrow_forwardA 128 lb person steps into an elevator at the ground floor. The elevator accelerates upward at 5.0 ft/s^2 until reaching a velocity of 24 ft/s. It then holds this velocity until decelerating (a=-5.0 ft/s^2) to a stop at the top floor. What is the normal force on the person in each of the three phases of this trip?arrow_forwardA physics student, in a stationary elevator, places a 240.0 g mass on an electronic balance. The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 278 grams Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 240. grams Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 192 gram How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel? Consider: UP to be (+), DOWN to be (-) and g =9.8 m/s2 . ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO A WHOLE NUMBER of meters (no decimal places) HINT: This problem requires finding THREE different displacements and adding them up! 2nd HINT: You will need to (A) use your equations of motion or (B) make a v-t graph to find those displacements!arrow_forward

If it is dropped, how fast will it be going just before it hits the ground? m/sarrow_forwardA commercial airplane is coming in for a landing. Just before it hits the runway it is moving at 76 m/s. The plane has a mass of 20,000 kg. The runway is 1.6km long and, obviously, the airplane needs to be stopped before it reaches the end of the runway. How large is the braking force the airplane needs to stop safely before the end of the runway?arrow_forward
