- A 845-kg car starts from rest on a horizontal roadway and accelerates eastward for 5.00 s when it reaches a speed of 30.0 m/s. What is the average force exerted on the car during this time?arrow_forwardA student builds a rocket-propelled cart for a science project. Its acceleration is not quite high enough to win a prize, so he uses a larger rocket engine that provides 33% more thrust, although doing so increases the mass of the cart by 12%. By what percentage does the cart’s acceleration increase?arrow_forwardA frog with some sort of little monster on his back is swimming in a bathtub of split tomato soup. The frog's mass is m1 = 0.0280 kg, and the monster's mass is m2 = 0.0300 kg. The frog propels the monster and himself forward with a constant force of F = 0.440 N and accelerates at a constant rate of a = 2.65 m/s^2. a) What is the resistive force of the split tomato soup on the frog? b) If the frog starts at rest at one side of the bathtub and swims across its length in t = 1.91 s, how long is the bathtub? c) How much work is done by the split tomato soup on the frog?arrow_forward
- A constant net force of 300N is applied to accelerate a cart in a frictionless surface from rest to a velocity of 30 m/s in 5s. What is the mass of the cart? 2. A 0.15 - kg baseball approaches a baseball bat at 30 m/s. If it is in contact with the baseball bat for 0.003 s, what is the average contact force between the ball and the racket? Ignore the air resistance.arrow_forwardAt an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of the player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball's acceleration is 700 m/s2 and the vertical or y component of its acceleration is 750 m/s2. The ball's mass is 0.32 kg. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the soccer ball at this instant?arrow_forwardBaby Kellyn was bouncing up and down in a "bouncy chair" which hangs from a chain that is attached to a spring. At one particular time, after jumping in the air, Kellyn and the chair were moving downward with a speed of 1.7 m/s while speeding up at a rate of 3.3 m/s?. Kellyn has a mass of 4.8 kg and the chair has a mass of 1.2 kg. Calculate the force (in units of newtons) that the chain exerted on the chair at this time. Consider a positive force to point up and a negative force to point down. The sign, positive or negative, of your answer is important.arrow_forward
- It may appear at first glance that Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws are independent claims. This, however, is not true - Newton's 3rd law is simply a consequence of Newton's 2nd law. In this problem, you will prove Newton's 3rd law for the normal contact force between two objects, using only Newton's 2nd law. Consider two blocks with masses m₁ and m₂ in contact, with external forces F₁ and F2 applied, as shown in the figure. The free body diagram for each block is also given, with internal forces fa and f, as shown. F₁ F₁ fa fb ΣF = ΣF = m₁ m2 Submit F₂ Complete the equations of motion for the entire system, as well as blocks 1 and 2 individually. Note, the forces have a signed magnitude, where positive values correspond to the positive x-direction ΣF= = (m₁ + m₂) a = m₁ a = m₂ a Use the above equations to write fa in terms of only fr: fa = m₁ You have used 0 of 4 attempts m₂ F₂ Save Calculatorarrow_forwardTwo figure skaters, one weighing 655 N and the other 755 N, push off against each other on very smooth ice.

When he accelerates from a stoplight, the tassel deflects backwards toward the rear of the car.

- Do Two skydivers are holding on to each other while falling straight down at a common terminal speed of 61.90 m/s. Suddenly, they push away from each other. Immediately after separation, the first skydiver, who has a mass m₁ of 94.80 kg, has a velocity U₁ with the following components ("straight down" corresponds to the positive z-axis). U1, y = 4.750 m/s U1,2 = 61.90 m/s What are the x- and y-components of the velocity v₂ of the second skydiver, whose mass m₂ is 57.70 kg, immediately after separation? Assume that there are no horizontal forces of air resistance acting on the skydivers.

They are initially distanced d=5.00m apart. By pulling on the massless leash, my sister exerts a constant force F=30.00N on Buster, Buster slides towards her. How fast is Buster moving when he and my sister meet? (The leash is not rigid, so the distance can change between them. They also end at the same point, which means even if you cannot solve for their position, you can set them equal to one another)arrow_forwardA man ( mass = 100 kg) fall freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of .2s. The average force exerted on her by the ground is + 2000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. A) from what height did he just fall? Assume the only force acting on him during the collision is that of the ground. B) suppose instead of the man, a 5 kg rubber ball was dropped from the same vertical distance and the ball bounced back conserving the linear momentum. What would be the velocity of the ball just when it bounced back?arrow_forward
