- An airplane pilot fell to the ground after jumping from an aircraft without his parachute opening. He lands in a snowbank, creating a crater 2.1 m deep, but survived with only minor injuries. Assuming the pilot’s mass was 68 kg and his terminal velocity was 35 m/s (the velocity at the point he stopped accelerating on his way down), what is: a) the average force exerted on him by the snow in bringing him to rest? b) the work done by the snow?arrow_forwardA 58-kg pole vaulter running at 10 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.4 m/s. Neglect air resistance, as well as any energy absorbed by the pole, and determine her altitude as she crosses the bar. ____marrow_forwardA 41-kg pole vaulter running at 11 m/s vaults over the bar.

- Scenario: Some Marines are lowering a 170 kg sled loaded with ammunition down a hill, when the rope breaks and the sled begins sliding uncontrolled. Beginning with a speed of 1.9 m/s, the sled loses 4.3 meters of elevation before coming to a stop. Question: How much thermal energy (in joules) was generated in the sled and the hill during the slide?arrow_forwardSix blocks with different masses, m, each start from rest at the top of smooth, frictionless inclines having length d and vertical height h and slide down. Rank the order, from greatest to smallest, of the final kinetic energies of the masses when they reach the bottom of the inclines after having traveled their full lengths. If any of the situations yield the same kinetic energies, give them the same ranking. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) m = 90 kg; h = 4 m; and d = 30 m m = 90 kg; h = 4 m; and d = 15 m m = 45 kg; h = 2 m; and d = 30 m m = 9 kg; h = 8 m; and d = 15 m m = 9 kg; h = 2 m; and d = 15 m m = 135 kg; h = 3.0 m; and d = 22.5 marrow_forwardGym Bro snatched 100 kg. In a snatch, the barbell is moved from a stationary position on the floor to the stationary position over Gym Bro’s head (and he screams during it, because that’s the Bro way). Only 0.50 s elapsed from the first movement of the barbell until it was overhead, and the barbell moved through a vertical displacement of 2.0 m. What was Gym Bro’s average power output during the lift? Why is he too cool to rerack his weights?????arrow_forward
- Samantha wishes to maintain her weight and goes to the gym to work off the calories she consumed at breakfast that morning. She lifts a 28.0-kg barbell from shoulder level to above her head, through a vertical height of 0.550 m. How many times must she lift the barbell to make up for the 3.25 102 Calories of energy she consumed at breakfast? Note that Calories refers to food calories. (Include lowering the barbell as well.)

With the e-pedal on, the motor recovers energy through braking very aggressively. I need about 7 KW-hour to come to school if I use mostly the freeways. That’s about 5 KW-hour if I take mostly local streets. From the energy perspective, can you offer an explanation to explain this difference?arrow_forward
- When jogging at 13 km/h on a level surface, a 70-kg man uses energy at a rate of approximately 850 W. Using the facts that the “human engine” is approximately 25% efficient, determine the rate at which this man uses energy when jogging up a 5.0° slope at this same speed. Assume that the frictional retarding force is the same in both cases.arrow_forwardWhich of the following pairs of particles will have NO ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTION?
