A transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is 700 kg, and the total resistance (air drag plus friction with the runway) on each may be assumed constant and equal to 3100 N. The tension in the towrope between the transport plane and the first glider is not to exceed 12000 N. If a speed of 40 m/s is required for takeoff, what minimum length of runway is needed? Express your answer in meters to two significant figures. Π| ΑΣΦ 1 C ? m

A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 118 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope (in N). N
A 5-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane (30°) with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s. There is friction between the block and the plane. The block comes to rest after traveling 3.0 m along the plane. Define the positive x-direction to be down the ramp.
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?
A book slides across a level, carpeted floor with an initial speed of 3.85 m/s and comes to rest after 3.75 m. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction μ between the book and the carpet. Assume the only forces acting on the book are friction, weight. and the normal force. H =
Two workers are sliding 390 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 450 NN while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 290 NN using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?
An airplane starts from rest on the runway. The engines exert a constant force of 78.0 kN on the body of the plane (mass 9.20 × 104 kg) during takeoff. How far down the runway does the plane reach its takeoff speed of 64.6 m/s?
You place a crate of mass 31.6 kg on a frictionless 3.00-meter-long incline. You release the crate from rest, and it begins to slide down, eventually reaching the bottom 1.34 s after you released it. What is the angle of the incline? A 24.9 degrees B 19.9 degrees C 29.9 degrees D 44.9 degrees
An airplane starts from rest on the runway. The engines exert a constant force of 78.0 kN on the body of the plane (mass 9.20 × 104 kg) during takeoff. How far down the runway does the plane reach its takeoff speed of 73.1 m/s?
The drawing shows a cube (mass=26.6kg), being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal surface P. A small cube (mass= 4.4kg) is in contact with the front surface of the large cube and will slide downward unless P is sufficiently large. The coefficient of static friction between the cubes is 0.710. What is the smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward?
A tug-of-war match happens between Team Blue and Team Red. Each of Team Blue’s members has an average mass of 76 kg and exerts an average force of 1225 N horizontally. Each of Team Red’s members has an average mass of 78 kg and exerts an average force of 1275 N horizontally. What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?
A skier slides down a hill in a straight line. The hill is 60m high and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the skis is 0.1. The hill is at an angle of 10 degrees with the horizontal. The mass of the skier is 70 kg. If the skier starts her run from rest and air friction can be ignored, how fast is she moving at the bottom of the hill? Please answer in units of m/s.
A parachutist whose mass is 75 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 2500 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b₁ = 20 N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b₂ = 100 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 30 m/sec, after how many seconds will the parachutist reach the ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/sec². The parachutist will reach the ground after (Round to two decimal places as needed.) seconds.
