- A hockey puck sits at rest on a frictionless surface. The puck is pushed with a particular constant force for 3 seconds and achieves a speed of 5 m/s. In order to achieve a the same speed with a force half as strong as the original one the hockey puck needs to be pushed for O 3 seconds 6 seconds 9 secondsarrow_forwardIf no net external force acts on an object which of the following is true Group of answer choices pick one answer only The forces are not equal and opposite It will change speed/velocity It will stop It will not start movingarrow_forwardYou are trying to move a light fixture into an apartment. There are hooks in the elevator so you hang the fixture on a hook with a chain. You don't want the fixture to touch the walls, so you attach a rope to the side that pulls horizontally as shown, keeping the fixture stationary with respect to the elevator. Note 0 = 35°. Chain Rope Fixture As the elevator ascends vertically, the magnitude of the tension force in the chain from the elevator on the fixture as a function of the vertical position of the elevator, y, is Fa(y) = Foe y/n where Fo = 108 N and y1 = 6.5 m. Work From Chain Using the fixture as your system, if the elevator goes from y = 0 to y = 5.85 m, what is the work done by the tension force in the chain on the fixture? Reminder About Work ........................................... Make Sure to Integrate! Wef = | Work From Rope The tension force in the horizontal rope as a function of y is Ff(y) = Fje-y/y1 where F = 61 N and y1 = 6.5 m. What is the work done by the…arrow_forward
- A shoe sits on a ramp without moving. As the angle of the ramp is increased, the shoe starts to move. This is because: A) the normal force has increased B) the coefficient of static friction has decreased C) force of gravity on the shoe has increased D) the component of the normal force along the ramp has increased E) the component of gravity acting along the plane of the ramp has increasedarrow_forwardYour physics book is at rest on a table as shown.

- Two crates of fruit are released from the top of a ramp inclined at 30 degrees from the horizontal and 4.5 meter long. The two crates consist of an apple crate of mass 20 kg that is placed in front of a watermelon crate of mass 80 kg. The apple crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.20 while the watermelon crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. How long does it take the apple crate to reach the bottom of the incline if it needs to travel a distance of 4.5 meters?arrow_forwardthe rocket in a rocket powered airplane generates a steady force of 10,000 N in the foward direction and the plane moves horizontally at a constant velocity of 100 m/s through the air.
