A slanted roof rises at 35° above the horizontal, and the straight-line distance from the top of the roof to the bottom edge is 4.5 m. The roof is covered with ice, so it offers no friction to objects sliding on it. A piece of ice at the top suddenly breaks loose and begins to slide down from rest.(a) How long will it take for the ice to reach the bottom edge of the roof?(b) How fast will the ice be traveling just as it reaches the bottom edge?
A crate slides down a ramp. Once reaching the bottom of the ramp, the crate slides 15 m horizontally across the floor to a wall. The crate reaches the wall 2.5 s after leaving the ramp. If the ramp is at an elevation angle of 15°, how long is the ramp? Ignore friction.
the Hoover Dam Bridge over the Colorado River at a height of 271 m. If a heavy object is dropped from the bridge, how much time passes before the object makes a splash? (Neglect air resistance.)
The figure below shows the Hoover Dam Bridge over the Colorado River at a height of 271 m. If a heavy object is dropped from the bridge, how much time passes before the object makes a splash? (Neglect air resistance.)
A bungie cord with spring constant k = 48.1 N/m is suspended vertically from an old wooden bridge. You attach a somewhat nervous Boston Terrier with a mass of 9.38 kg to the bungie cord and let the dog drop. The cord is 100 m long when unstretched. What is the maximum speed reached by the now terrified dog during its initial fall before the cord snaps it back upwards? What is the acceleration of the dog when it reaches its minimum height at the point in time where the cord snaps back?
A 50.0 kg man standing on a spring scale takes a descending elevator ride (DOWNWARD). Starting from the rest, the elevator descends, attaining a maximum speed of 8.0 m/s in 4.0 seconds. Then the elevator travels with this constant speed of 8.0 m/s for 10.0 seconds. Lastly, it takes the elevator 2.0 second to make a complete stop. Based on the information above, answer the questions below: (Hint: Drawing pictures would help you understand the 3 legs of this elevator ride. Since the elevator is descending, going down, it is more convenient to chose downward direction as + direction. Please pay attention to the sign of each physical quantity, such as velocity, acceleration, and displacement, etc. Useful formula: v = vi + a×t, or d = v0×t + ½ a × t2, Weight = mg, Newotn’s 2nd Law: Net force Fnet = ma (1). What is the acceleration of the elevator during the 1st 4.0 seconds of the ride? Is the direction of…
A man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object. If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s? If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?
A 68 kg man drops to a concrete patio from a window 0.45 m above the patio. He neglects to bend his knees on landing, taking 2.4 cm to stop. (a) What is his average acceleration from when his feet first touch the patio to when he stops?(b) What is the magnitude of the average stopping force exerted on him by the patio?
To Merge into the highway you need to increase your speed from 50 km/h to 100 km/h. If your car can accelerate at 8.0 m/s², what should the minimum length of the ramp be? (report your answer in meters) Your Answer: Answer
A ball with mass 0.15 kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 20 m/s from the roof of a building 30 m high. There is a force due to air resistance of v2/1325 , where the velocity v is measured in m/s. (a) Find the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches. (b) Find the time that the ball hits the ground. Step by step solution please.
