A helicopter with mass 2.95 x 104 kg has a position given by r(t) = (0.050ti + 5.5tj - 0.090t-k) m. Find the net force on the helicopter at t = 3.0 s. (Express your answer in vector form. Assume that Fis in newtons when t is in seconds. Do not include units in your answer.)
He continues on for a while until he encounters a 500. kg boulder blocking his way. He puffs up his chest, crouches a bit, and begins to push horizontally with a force of 2,205 N. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the boulder was 0.450. Was he able to move it out of the way?
Two horses pull a cart with a total applied force of 2000N. The kinetic friction from the gravel road has a value of 450 N. Assuming the cart is 200 kg, what is its acceleration? Note that the road is flat and the horses are traveling in a straight path.
A body hangs from a spring balance supported from the roof of an elevator. If the elevator has an upward acceleration of 4 m/s2 the balance reads 45N, what is the true weight of the body?
Following the collision with a tree, the car rapidly decelerates and comes to a full stop in 0.26 seconds. Given that the passenger in the car has a mass of 70.0 kg and experiences a restraining force from the seat belt amounting to 4038 N, what was the car's initial velocity just before the impact with the tree?
Accident analysis has led experts to believe that Princess Diana experienced a deceleration rate of no less than 700 m/s2 when she was involved in the tragic accident that claimed her life. If she had been wearing a seatbelt experts believe the net force Diana would have experienced would be along the lines of 18,000 N. What would be the rate of deacceleration have been? Assuming Diana had a mass of 60kg.
A vendor pulls a 250 N cart filled with pop cases so that it rolls along a level floor where the force of friction is 43 N. If the worker exerts a force of 80 N @ 25⁰ on the handle of the cart, what is the acceleration of the cart?
As a baseball is being caught, its speed goes from 31 to 0 m/s in about 0.008 s. Its mass is 0.145 kg. (Take the direction the baseball is thrown to be positive.) (a) What is the baseball's acceleration in m/s2? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)What is the baseball's acceleration in g's? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)(b) What is the force acting on it?
A simple rearrangement of Newton's second law gives Fnet=ma. Find a net force that is needed to give a 13-kg package an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2 . (Note: The units kg⋅m/s2 and N are equivalent.). Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A pitcher throws a softball toward home plate. When the ball hits the catcher’s mitt, its horizontal velocity is 32 meters/second. The softball’s velocity goes to 0 meters/second in 0.8 seconds when caught. If the softball has a mass of 0.2 kilograms, what’s the force of the impact? Use F = ma, where . The force of the impact is newtons.
Two people play tug of war. The 100-kg person on the left pulls with 1100 N, and the 75-kg person on the right pulls with 870 N. Assume that neither person releases their grip on the rope with either hand at any time, assume that the rope is always taut, and assume that the rope does not stretch. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope in Newtons? Add your answer
A light rope is attached to a block with a mass of 6kg that rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The horizontal rope passes over a frictionless, massless pulley, and a block of mass m is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 18N. (a) draw a free-body diagram for each block. (b) what is the acceleration of the 6-kg block? (c) what is the mass m of the hanging block? (d) using the value of the hanging mass calculated in part c, what would be the acceleration and the tension in the rope if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 6-kg mass and the horizontal is 0.10?
