- The velocity of an object of mass m= 5.00 kg is giving by v(t) = (3.0m/s3)t2+ (2.00 m/s2)t. The velocity of the object at t = 0 s is equal to vo = 0 m/s. Find the force as a function of time that causes the object to move.arrow_forwardYou have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 43.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 17.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . What speed ? (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.).arrow_forwardA train of mass 9.26e+4 moving with a velocity of magnitude 72.9 hits a car of mass 1.78e+3 at rest. If the train exerts a force of magnitude 1.86e+3 on the car, what is the magnitude of the force exerted by the car on the train? All quantities are given in Sl units and the answer should be given as a positive or negative number in SI units. Only type a number into the answer box, do not type in units.arrow_forward

- On an essentially frictionless, horizontal ice rink, a skater moving at 4.0 m/s encounters a rough patch that reduces her speed by 44% due to a friction force that is 28% of her weight.arrow_forwardA 54.9-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -1.93 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 1.09 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer.

He decides to accelerate his progress and starts to walk from point A with a steadily increasing speed and reaches point B (a distance s = 29 m) with a speed dx/dt = v = 2.5 m/s relative to the walkway. During his acceleration he generates an average horizontal force F between his shoes and the walkway. Calculate the work done on the boy by the force F from an absolute viewpoint and then from a relative viewpoint. Explain the difference. Answers: Absolute viewpoint, Work = i Relative viewpoint, Work = i Jarrow_forward
- Two carts, A and B, roll on inclined planes with negligible friction. Cart A has a mass of 1.3 kg and it is on a plane inclined at an angle of ? θ ? θ = 63 degrees. Cart B has a mass of 2.5 kg and it is on a plane inclined at an angle of ? ϕ ? ϕ = 14 degrees. The carts are connected by a (nearly) massless string that runs over a (nearly) massless and frictionless pulley. Find the tension (in newtons) in the string.arrow_forwardUnder the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the drive force is shut off, the snowmobile coasts to a halt. The snowmobile and its rider have a mass of 143 kg. Under the influence of a drive force of 220 N, it is moving at a constant velocity whose magnitude is 4.38 m/s. The drive force is then shut off. Find (a) the distance in which the snowmobile coasts to a halt and (b) the time required to do so.

(a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 4.00×10−2 m/s if the force of friction is 6.20×105 N, assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) What is the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?arrow_forward
