Question
An old miser with a bag og gold jums onto the surface of a frozen lake and hopes to coast civilization on the other side.Unfortunately the ice does have a coefficient of kinetic friction ?ₖ=0.08. He slides for 80 m and then stops.(Now he has to walk.) How fast was he moving at the start of his coast?

- 6. A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0. The value of d is 4.68 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -1.17 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0? 1.70 m/s 1.19 m/s 3.12 m/s 2.40 m/sarrow_forwardSam, whose mass is 74.0 kg, takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 220.0 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction wtih the snow of 0.07. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 11.5 seconds. What Sam's top speed (in m/s) assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2? How far (in m) has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?arrow_forwardYou are trying to escape a hoard of zombies and must make an elevator to get down a cliff as fast as possible. As you cannot hit the ground faster than 10m/s and the cliff is 25m deep, this limits your acceleration to 2 m/s2 (you will want to accelerate at this rate to get down the cliff as fast as you can). Assuming your and the bucket’s mass together is 100kg (m2) , what is the minimum mass (m1) that the sled must be to prevent your death (assume the ground is frictionless).arrow_forward

- previous problem: A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0. The value of d is 3.85 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -1.99 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0? New problem Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time with d = 4.73 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 7.57 m/s, so it starts sliding up the track to the left. At what value of x will the block reverse direction and start sliding back down? -3.72 m 3.72 m 2.92 m -2.92 marrow_forwardA car goes down a 100 incline with a coefficient of friction of 0.3 for 1 m.

Block m1, initially at rest, is released from height h above the table. Block m,, which is the heavier block, begins to fall, while block m2 rises. a) Calculate the speed of m2 just as m¡ hits the table. b) Suppose block m, continues to rise without obstruction even after block m, hits the table. Calculate the maximum height above the table to which m2 rises. harrow_forward
