- You need to cross a river but you don't care where you land on the other side. Question 2 options: You will cross faster if you swim into the current so you do not drift. the fastest way across is to swim at an angle to the current You cannot change the rate you cross the river by swimming in any direction the fastest way to cross is to point straight across the riverarrow_forwardThe harder you hit the brakes while driving forward, the more the front end of your car will move down (and the rear end move up). Why? What happens when cars accelerate forward? Why do drag racers not use front-wheel drive only?arrow_forwardThe two cars A and B enter a variable banked turn -a concept shown in the figure. Car A is on the unbanked position of the track and its normal acceleration is limited to 0.86g. Car B is on the banked portion of the track and its normal acceleration is limited to 1.08g. They cross line C-C simultaneously, and each car has the speed corresponding to their respective maxima in the turn. Determine the elapsed time for each car between its two crossings of line C-c. What is the relative position of the two cars as the second car exits the turn? Assume no speed changes throughout. a 96 m 79 m B a Answers: Time for car A, Time for car B, te = Distance between cars, As =arrow_forward
- The tension in a string from which a 6.0-kg object is suspended in an elevator is equal to 44 N. What is the acceleration of the elevator? Question 12 options: 14 m/s2 upward 15 m/s2 downward 11 m/s2 downward 2.4 m/s2 downward 12 m/s2 upwardarrow_forwardThe Earth pulls downward on a pingpong ball with a force of 1N. If this is the "action" force, what is the "reaction" force? answer choices The ground exerts a force of 1N on the ping pong ball The ping pong ball exerts a force of 1 N on the Earth The ping pong ball pushes down on the earth with a force of 1N The is no reaction force when a gravitational force is involvedarrow_forwardConstruction workers are building a new skyscraper in a major city. A crane operator is using a crane to lift a heavy box of supplies (with a mass of 664 kg) to the top of the building when the cord suddenly snaps! The box of supplies free-falls to the ground from a height of 142 m. How many seconds does it take for the supplies to crash into the ground below? _____sarrow_forward
- A steel cable lying flat on the floor drags a 20 kg block across a horizontal, frictionless floor. A 110 N force applied to the cable causes the block to reach a speed of 3.9 m/s in a distance of 2.0 m. What is the mass of the cable? Express your answer with the appropriate units. m= Submit μA Value Units ? Units input for part A Previous Answers Request Answerarrow_forwardA car is traveling at 15 m/s on a horizontal road. The brakes are applied and the car skids to a stop in 4.0 s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road is: Friction Road Direction of travelarrow_forwardFR2: A cat climbs up the side of a tree, tilted at a 10 degree angle relative to the vertical (the cat is on the top side). The cat’s claws dig into the tree bark, which pushes the cat up the tree. If the cat has a mass of 5 kg, how hard does it have to push into the tree in order to climb up at constant speed?arrow_forward
