- A block of mass 8 kg moves in a straight line On a friction horizontal surface (u = 0.35), its initial velocity is 5.5 m/s. Find its velocity after it has travelled 3.5 m. (Take g = 10 m/s2, write the answer with 2 decimal places only). Answer:arrow_forwardA flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.02 x 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 1.16 × 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude (in m/s²) of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.0 × 107 kg. (Let us assume that F points to the right. We will consider this to be the +x direction and vertical to be the +y wind direction.) magnitude 17.1 Did you draw a free-body diagram, and identify the forces acting on the flea?

The cart shown in figure below moves with constant deceleration changing the speed from v0 = 5 m/s to v1 = 1 m/s. After 2 seconds when it reaches the speed v1 it suddenly stops. Write the displacement of the mass as a function of time. Mass m moves without friction on the surface of the cart. Assume positive direction from left to right (direction of motion of the cart).

Messi has been clocked (this is true) at a top speed of 9 meters per second in a game. Let's take this as his maximum velocity and the speed he is moving right before he drops down to slide.Take Messi's mass to be 72 kilograms, and take the coefficient of kinetic friction between skin and wet grass to be 0.4How far does Messi slide?arrow_forward
